Everton have reached an agreement with Manchester City for Jack Grealish on a season-long loan.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano announced the development with his signature “here we go” catchphrase on social media.
“Loan deal agreed with Man City and medical booked later today. Grealish said yes to the Everton project and he’s now set to complete his move in next 24 hours,” Romano tweeted.
David Ornstein of The Athletic also confirmed the development.
“Everton have agreed a deal to take Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City. The deal still needs to be finalised but a medical is being scheduled today for the England international,” stated the report.
Ornstein further reported that the deal includes an option to buy the player for a fee in the region of £50milllion next summer.
Grealish fell out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola at Etihad Stadium. He made only 16 starts across all competitions last season and just seven in the Premier League. The 29-year-old was also left out of Manchester City’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup.
Since signing for £100million from Aston Villa, Grealish has made 157 appearances for City, scoring 17 goals and providing 23 assists.
He famously helped the side achieve a treble in the 2023-24 season.

Let’s hope he’s got some fire left in him and he wants to do well.
Anyone saying about Pep not wanting him need to be a bit more rounded.
Pep paid £100m, he also gave him a new deal, played him a lot during his treble winning season also.
Yes he’s now done with him, but there aren’t many players we’ve had in a long while who any of the above would apply too, there’s definitely a player in there easily gold enough to be a big player at us, let’s hope he does it.

Great news, brilliant player, hopefully played as a number 10. All those knocking his ” partying” it didn’t stop Big Dunc , Howard Kendall, and Reidy being regarded as legends at Everton. Wins the treble,and goes out on the piss for a few days , imagine what you’d do in his position? Good luck to the lad, if you bring silverware to the HD, He can stay out for a month as far as I’m concerned.

A player with a point to prove, an axe to grind, he will be determined to prove Pep and Simon Jordon wrong and get back in the England team. The one area I am still really concerned about is the striker. We have 3 and not one looks as though they are ready to take the season apart. Now, if we can get that Southampton bloke it and the one from Villa, that will make things really interesting!

I was one of those who was optimistic when we got what appeared to be a no brainer deal for Dele Alli.
Oops.
However. I am not put off.
I’ll make no predictions. But just say, any player who is clearly better than alternatives we have, who doesn’t break the bank, has to be worth a punt.
We still need the obvious, full backs, speedy winger and a goal scorer. But this is still a step up. And if the others can be dealt with, ideally promptly, then we are beginning to look stronger as a squad than last year.
KDH and Grealish for Doucoure? Tick
Anzou for out of position player covering? Tick
Barry for absent or injured strikers? Tick (maybe)
Rome wasn’t built in a day. We are improving our prospects.

Hopefully he is coming here with a grudge, anger and to prove people wrong.
A good age at 29 although not the quickest of players. Skillful, can beat players and can pick out a pass, also calm in front of goal.
He needs to understand though that he’s coming to a team where he will need to work his socks off and probably act as a talisman to the other players.
Good business on a loan.
Another piece of the jigsaw.

If he just wanted the cash he couldve sat in City reserves surely? And Moyes wouldnt have agreed the move if he didnt think there was a real chance to get him back to his best. Its also the sort of name that could encourage others.
Extra creativity to midfield added, now we need a pacy right winger and maybe a striker who actually scores…

Jack will be played and used differently from City, where they passed it to death and allowed the opposition to have 11 players behind the ball.
Expect Jack to be used on quick transitions like KDH, along with Illman and a right winger, we are going to scare some teams.
Moyes has a plan of attack and Jack will be a massive part of it.
Welcome to Everton, put the shift in and the fans will adore you. Hopefully it wont do your England chances any harm either.

Brings to mind Ginola, Gascoigne, Mark Hughes, Eto’o, Rodriguez – great players well past their best. Nice to finally see a great player in an Everton shirt of course, but when were we last able to sign a player at the cusp of becoming a great player, at the peak of their powers? Baines and Cahill maybe, before that I’d say Lineker and Cottee. But an overweight pisshead, aimlessly dribbling across the pitch, to no effect, before leaving in a few months ? A mistake I think.

We clearly need creativity in this team, we need goals, and we need excitement. Will any of it happen? Hell if I know. But adding Grealish to KDH, some unknown RW with pace — because we have no choice but to take a chance on someone out wide — plus an unknown right back. That starting XI might actually get us excited for the first time in a long time.
It leaves McNeil and Alcaraz on the bench when everyone is healthy, but thats just fine, even if both players are likable and have done some good things. Everyone calling for another striker, I dont see it happening. Beto and Barry are going to have to find a way to put away chances that will now be more available.

rawk have already issued detailed analysis of ways in which Grealish could be utilised
“Do you remember when Grealish was at Villa and he set the record for the “most fouled” player in a PL campaign ever? He won 167 free kicks in one season. That is what Moyles is looking for. An absolute key Moyles tactic is for players to go down in the opposition half so that they can lump the freekick into the box. The other outfield players might be given the role of running their bollocks off, but the plan for Grealish will be for him to get the ball at his feet and then fall over. Put your money on him being the “most fouled” player again this season – that is going to be Everton’s main plan of attack.”

“You build a flash new stadium, you need flash new players yet some people want ‘young players with sell on value’ and ‘players for the future’.”
The ONLY way we can reach top 4 again is by buying players for the future, scouting them well and offering them opportunities the top 6 wont. You do not reach parity with the top teams only by getting players who are no longer good enough for them.
I think/hope Grealish will do well and you cant have a team with only youngsters of course but the likes of Newcastle reached CL by mainly buying younger talents like Guimares, Isak, Hall, Livramento, Botman, Gordon, Tonali, Barnes, Minteh etc with a smattering of cheap older players like Burn, Trippier etc.
Hopefully Grealish can help us get up the league but if we ever want to eat at the top table again well need to develop some future stars to go with the fading ones.

He’s a new dad so he’s leaving his bachelor getting pissed up clubbing days behind him, I’m really looking forward to seeing him in an Everton shirt, best of luck Jack.
Poor old DCL sacking his agent cos he hasn’t found him a team. It’s a real head scratcher that no European bound club has snapped up a fella with an appalling appearance record and gets you about half a dozen goals a season, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side is it Dom?

Everton this season need stability to maintain and improve their position from last season as there are clubs that finished below them investing heavily for improvements.
In Grealish we are receiving a quality player who is out of our price range for a standard transfer. We have a player who has a motivation in getting into the World Cup that he will only get by being fit, motivated and proving his abilities.
We needed a quality player, we have got one, lets not criticize his past but look at what he is capable of in an Everton Royal Blue shirt.
The price we may be paying for him still leaves room for other signings without breaking financial rules.

From the sound of it, our maximum outlay is £12m.
The difference in prize money between finishing 9th in the Premier League as opposed to 13th? £12m.

I’m delighted to see Grealish joining us, and he definitely wants to prove Pep wrong and get back into the England squad for the World Cup.i hope he plays in his Villa position, not a left winger, he’s not overweight. Regarding Simon Jordan, who thinks he’s an expert on teamtalk, didn’t he bring Palace into administration? The Leicester winger would be another excellent signing, on the right wing, but we won’t get him for half the Dibling offer, he’ll be near the £40m bracket in my opinion.

Scott @93, I get frustrated when I hear stability. Not aimed at you, it’s just you brought the word up!!
Also when I hear that 10-12th will be a good return. That’s little or no progress on last season.
Brentford have lost key players and a manager. Brighton have brought a few in, but lost Pedro. Bournemouth have lost two key players. Even Palace stand to lose Eze and their captain, Gushi.
My point is, we can’t strive for higher and leap frog those teams.

I am hoping Grealish will be a great singing for us. There is no disputing he is a class player on his day. If he really wants to play in the World Cup next year then he will need to get his head down. Who cares that Southgate disregarded him. Southgate didnt have a clue!! What I think is telling is that when Carsley was appointed interim manager the first thing he did was bring Grealish back into the team and played him. That says it all for me. On his day a game winner. This is a no lose situation as far as I can see.

Weve signed cheap players in the last few seasons, and everyone moans, we sign a class player that was worth £100m and thats still not good enough for some of you. Comments about him drinking, honestly you make him sound like an alcoholic, when all hes done is have a drink while away on holiday when the season finished. And comments about his age, and that hes past it, is a complete joke. Hes in his prime. And blaming him for his form at city, when it was Pep whos the idiot, for buying one of the best number 10s and then chucking him on the wing. When did he ever play there for Villa. Its like us paying £50m for Dibling and playing in centre half.

I didnt think we had any chance getting this deal over the line, he will have a similar if not more important impact that James had. We will have a player who will receive the ball and not give it straight back to the opposition. He is a player who will demand the ball all the time a bit like Reidy which will give our players a breather. He can go past people he can score and he can pass the ball well. I see absolutely no down side to this move, he will be out to show Guardiola that played in the 10 role he is as good as anybody. Tutchel is a big admirer and Grealish will want to be back in the England squad.
Also for Grealish no upheavel in his life he stays in the house he is in now, and Evertonians well most will love him.

There were several reports from various sources in the media that he didn’t want to come to Everton and that he had said some negative things about David Moyes style of football and wouldn’t want to play for him. I know that could just be media talk, Ryan, as I know they do make stuff up.
But my best source is from a friend who is a life long City fan whose son is one of the physios at City. Info from him was that Grealish was hanging out for a ‘better club’, but as time was ticking, I guess he didn’t want to be stuck in the City reserves team.
As I say, I would be very happy to eat my words and see him rip it up. 👍

To be honest, I can hardly believe some of the negativity from Everton’s own fans about us getting Jack Grealish in!.. Also, that it seems to be based on many claiming he must be crap now because Pep kept leaving him out of the Man City team, then even the squad.. Are the nay-sayers REALLY just going to ignore that Grealish, to Guardiola, simply became the bit of a ‘maverick’ type of player that the City manager no longer wanted in his team? (Which, of course, worked out wonderfully for Man City, last season, didn’t it?.. NOT).. And some are even saying that Jack Grealish is just another ‘past it’ football player?.. Again, really?.. At 29, he must be past it?.. Probably no-one’s going to be too interested in what this particular Everton supporter (myself, English but not from the ‘scouse’ area of the country) thinks, but – just to make my opinion totally clear – I’m going to end this post as I started it, anyway.. To be honest, I can hardly believe some of the negativity from Everton’s own fans about us getting Jack Grealish in!!…

Hi Dave at 118,
There is a difference between playing for a club full of superstars where you believe you should be, and then playing for a club that you believe is beneath you.
Not the same comparison and probably brings a change of attitude about playing.
I don’t know if he was an integral part either, as I couldn’t quote his stats on goals or assists during that time. But I do know that he wasn’t relied on in the winning City era, as there were world class players all around him. Not going to be the case at Everton.

What does that even mean? Isn’t that exactly what Simon Jordan alleges he is becoming? e.g. wasting his career away drinking and partying? Grealish has had a better career than Gazza. Gazza won one FA cup although he was strechered off after injuring himself doing a reckless tackle in the final. That apart he had a few years of success in Scotland, and two England semi appearances. Grealish was won literally every club trophy there is to win and played in a final for England. He also is still playing so can do more.

Re your somewhat unnecessary disparaging comment about him hanging about and my source of information
He has known for some time that City wanted to sell him. They haven’t just ‘sprung’ that on him have they? No other club, other than maybe Spurs have shown any interest in signing him have they?
So there he is, knowing City want shut and there is no sign of a ‘better club’ than Everton being interested in him? So although Everton have only made a recent approach, and he is apparently ‘itching’ to get to do a medical, is that because he is ‘itching ‘ to play for us, or just get out of City. What is your source that he is ‘itching’ to play for us? Some media talk or have you spoken to him yourself, or is it just some fat bloke down the pub?
My source was genuine and IS at City.

If he was “holding out for a better club” so what? Who wouldn’t? I mean he is not an Everton fan, has no prior connection to the club. Obviously, like anyone he will weigh his options then pick the one that is best. Realistically, there won’t be many players who immediately say ” I want to join Everton even if Real Madrid or anyone else come in for me.”
And as far as supposed reservations about Moyes? Well again, any time I have weighed job offers I’ve wondered about my new boss and sometimes have taken jobs despite thinking it wouldn’t necessarily be the ideal working relationship. This all just seems like a mountain out of a mole hill.

‘Party time is over for Jack Grealish at Manchester City. Thats the headline from Sky Sports News. In other words coming to us is a step down. Well soon find out how eager Jack is to prove he
is still a top player after two years of underperformance. As he is 30 next month he has no time to waste.
We are in such dire need of an uplift in quality in attack I really hope this gamble pays off. But it is a gamble. Paying £50m next summer for a 31 year old would be an even bigger gamble. That would be money we could never hope to recoup. As we have seen in the recent past thats the road to financial trouble and points deductions.

Nooooooo!!! He’s not and never will be a Moyes type player. He’s lazy, and according to Pep G he won’t do as he’s told in training. Another Ali, another Gasgoine, only no where as good. Another thing, we have fkd about with Southampton,telling them, no, £50 million for a ninteeen yrs old (right) winger, which we need, but we will consider paying £50 million for a thirty yr old, unbelievable! As far as I’m concerned, he’s a Hollywood signing, and he’s been brought in by the owners, because if this is Mr Masters mate Kinnears signing, then Moyes has no say in transfers. Can you imagine Grealish going from laying in the middle of a road in Spain drunk, holding tightly on to a grands worth bottle of vodka, to running up and down sand dunes in Formby, no, and neither can I. I also can’t see him contributing anything of note to the team other than publicity, and maybe the odd arrest for speeding, drink driving, or not turning up for training, as opposed to not turning up to do anything of note on the pitch. We have reverted to the Moshiri years, high profile players brought in for huge waves and no sell on profit. Oh, mind you, we could bring out the old, arm round the shoulder, we are doing everything to help the lad, when he’s fkd up. We are getting him all the help we can, after all, he’s one of us. Think of the publicity, Everton to continue to pay Grealish his full wage and medical bills, while he’s in Austria, in a thousand pounds a night clinic, recuperating from his mental problems. The more things change the more things stay he same. At least we won’t have to put up with Dyche and his favourite, he’s on the grass, or maybe that would be appropriate as Grealish probably would be.

At his best Grealish is a world class player who very rarely loses the ball, has a good football brain and at worst gains a free kick in dangerous areas.
He also has a reputation for partying and we don’t know how much of a toll that has taken on him as he ages but from all accounts, he has been training really hard to reach peak fitness.
I have to confess that earlier in the window I did not want him here but seeing as how the window has gone so far, I believe he will improve the quality we have, and his signing will encourage more players to want to join “The project”.

None of that is true at all. From what I know off Jack Grealish he’s actually hugely well liked, very down to earth and not a prima donna at all.
I’d like to know where you’ve got that from? There’s zero evidence of that. Just because City paid £100m for doesn’t automatically mean he’s a bad person or something you’ve entirely made your own mind up about.
All the things I’ve ever seen or read about him tell completely the opposite story.
Kind, well meaning, thoughtful even. There’s been loads of footage of him being kind to little kids, spending time with supporters etc. Quite the contrary of what you seem to claim.
It seems to me there are a lot of people who just want to tear everything down and lack the ability to see any good in a situation just because it feels good to knock people.
It’s a lot like the way the media attack people for no reason other than to sell papers.

As for Jack not having the right attitude, Moyes only brings players in with the right work ethic, he does his research and if he thought for a minute, he was not going to put it all in then he would not be wearing the shirt.
Jack has a career re set, he is nearly 30 and he is in the last chance saloon, therefore he has to put it all in at Everton otherwise he wont be going to the USA next summer for sure.
I cant see how we can lose with this player, £12m loan deal, City paid £100m for him then played him in the wrong position. Pepe a tactical genius ? give me a break, Moyes will show him what he should have done.
Get the right wing sorted with an exciting player and we are going to get a great watch down at HDS.

This thread is a true ToffeeWeb classic. How folk can be negative about this signing is truly baffling to me. No, there are no guarantees, but I imagine he’ll probably be the most talented outfield player we’ve had since James R. It’s very exciting. People talk so much rubbish. I remember the first thread on Grealish included a post to the effect of ‘I’m not going to comment because it’s never going to happen’ which was (a) a comment and (b) wrong. As for not being a Moyes type player, I sort of see what folk mean, but I think Moyes has changed slightly. The football we saw last season was a bit more progressive than I’d expected. Though maybe that was all an illusion caused by watching so much Dycheball beforehand.

Well said Martin Berry. Actually I was shocked when he went to City in the first place as I didnt see his style fitting in with their game. But it did work – and also it kept him out of the clutches of Citys main wealthy rivals. There will be no obligation to buy, just a pre arranged price which satisfies the bean counters. What we really need now is a great free kick specialist to take advantage of the inevitable kicking that Grealish will take as defenders take turns to chop him down.

Even with half his available talent hes our best player. So what if he was holding out for a club in the top half of the table, he is here now, and its not like he hadnt a few weeks left to see what came in.

He is costing no more than £12M this year, same as DCL and Doucoure. Thats not a lot of money for a premier league team.
As for being “bombed” out of City and “jettisoned” by Pep etc… Modern star players never expect to stay at Champions League winning teams for their whole career! They work hard to get there, stay there for maybe 5 years and then go somewhere else. Sometimes to another CL team, sometimes to another “project” with the intention of getting them to a European competition.
Diaz has just left Liverpool, does that mean he’s finished, been abandoned and bombed out by Slot? What about Rashford, is he a terrible footballer now that hes no longer at United and is instead out on loan?
Jack has perhaps already reached his peak (because you cant win more than everything!) but that doesn’t mean he can’t plateau at a very high level with us for a few years to come.

If someone offered us a £100 million pound player on a 5 year deal and he ended up leaving for free at the end, the that would work out as £20 million per year in fees alone plus annual wages on top (of between £8 and £16 million per annum) – so thats between £28 million and £36 million per year all in. That makes this deal a good deal even its only for a year. And itll boost confidence & get our new youngsters around him to up their game and improve.

Moyes will definitely have had good conversation with Jack, what was said exactly we don’t know.
But let’s assume they are agreed and we are getting a player with something to prove.
He may need a couple of competitive games to get up to speed in his new team roll, but he will be putting defenders on the back foot, he will win free kicks around the box, all crowd pleasing stuff. So now we need the set piece coach and the dead ball maestro to step up…
One year only, let’s enjoy that much, there’s got to be some good stuff coming from this guy, he’s not done yet

Dewesbury Hall will cost about £30m. Thats a cost of £500k a month in amortisation plus wages. If hes on £80-100k a week, that’s another £500k a week broadly.
Over 12 months that’s a £1m a month.
Grealish will cost us between £6 to £12m depending on who you believe. So the cost is in line with Dewesbury Hall.

Having played for Villa, including 3 seasons in the Championship and City, I’m sure he’s used to a bit of fitness training. As well as taking a lot of stick on the pitch and from the stands.
He’s an Everton player now, so I’m looking forward to seeing him play for us and will judge him on that.

“ There were several reports from various sources in the media that he didn’t want to come to Everton”
Im all over everything Everton in the media everyday and havent seen any comments purportedly from Grealish to that effect. In fact I have read in some articles that Everton were his preferred choice.
Furthermore hes apparently regularly seen helping disabled children, (his sister is disabled, ) and, whatever he was like when young, Im sure hes grown up now.

This is a GREAT move with no real downside. We bring in the highest-quality attacking player we’ve had since Lukaku, at a one-year outlay of £12m. The upside is he comes in motivated to make the WC squad, plays his ass off, gives us a frontline that makes defenders backpedal, wins us some games and lifts butts off the seats in the new stadium. Or he doesn’t play well and all we get for the £12m is a spark off the bench late in games.
I’ll take that risk/reward equation all day long.
I do expect this to be a one-year thing, that’s all. If he succeeds he’ll be off to some CL club, which we won’t be for a while. If he fails we just send him back to City. But either way this makes this season a whole lot more fun.

Barely an ounce of fat on him if you have a look at his recent Instagram posts. To all those having a pop at him for being overweight or on the booze, from the recent posts on there you’re all talking nonsense.

If we have N’Dyiae, Grealish and Dibbling/AN Other behind and feeding the striker we’ll certainly score more goals than we have been.

Dermot #164, yep, those big PL defenders would just dominate him in the air. Also he doesn’t track back like Moyes demands. Good that we swerved.

Would love to see us go for the Palace right full back Munoz, certainly isn’t unrealistic, if we can get Grealish on loan alongside the KDH signing, it’s possible imo.

Just Hutchinson from Ipswich and Justin from Leicester and thatll do for us I think ? Maybe an older striker for a small fee around 30yrs old just to help out when needed ?
Oh and tell Southampton fk off

Ian at 168, yes but at the end of it, KDH is our player with a sell on value.

Maybe he won’t run as many Miles per game as Doucouré, he won’t track back as much as Harrison, but who are you picking in your team ?
Grealish all day long.
We have players to track back and defend.
We have players to tackle.
Because he wears a hair band, it doesn’t make him a prima Donna!
Because he goes to Ibiza and has a holiday and enjoys himself ( like most in their 20s) it doesn’t make him an alcoholic!
Pep doesn’t want him at city, doesn’t make you a bad player !
I’m all for players showing a bit of character, rather that than some of the robots playing the game now !

Pienaar, and Baines combining with the likes of Osman and Arteta was probably the last time I remember enjoying watching Everton – other than the 80s. Maybe a little shout out to Barkley, Mirallas, delefeou, and Lukaku.
Rather than moaning, lets maybe enjoy the fact that we will have more than Ndiaye to watch and excite the crowd. With Illiman, KDH, Grealish and maybe Dibling on the right we could finally watch some entertaining football.
God knows we deserve it after some of the dross this fan base has had to endure….
Remember its supposed to be a sport and fun

Wow! Bring it on! I am old enough to remember a time when this is what top footballers were about. I didn’t think it was possible to admire wee Jack even more than I already did! Hopefully, there will be a fair bit of womanising too.
Make no mistake, this is a lad in his prime, not some dead beat out to make a last wage packet. Anyway, unlike the overrated phoney Dele Ali, we aren’t obliged to pay him other than for one season, but what a season it promises to be. Hold on tight it promises to be quite a ride! (I dare say someone will, at some stage, claim Jack said that).

Welcome, Jack, there’sa few of us around here who think you can be paet of a cery much improved team and outlook! And, over here, the moaning is not in Catalan, but in Scots!

Wasnt he allowed to leave this year for £40? Theyre increasing his cost in his last year? If he works out, I recon wed just get him on loan a second year and then try to get him on a free the following year.
