But hopefully, Jack and Emi can be together in electric dreams for us.I see it as insurance, but not against Jack leaving, more a lesson learned about how our form dipped when he was unavailable, or off form personally. This just feels like an attempt to make us less of a one-man creative force. I think it's a brilliant sign of how the club is run these days. "This was an issue last season, how do we fix it? Oh, right, well let's get the deal done as quickly as possible with the least amount of fuss imaginable"Delaney is close to the Manchester clubs, and doubtless from City's point of view they can't imagine why Jack wouldn't go there this summer, but nobody I've seen who reports close to the Villa seems to think it's inevitable at all. Evans in the Athletic reported we want Buendia to play with Jack.

Why would Grealish join Arsenal? Why? Hubristic, pompous, entitled wankpots.
Good signing.But why did we not get him for £1m 3 years ago?
