As we welcome in the new year, the winter transfer window is once again officially open. Thirty-one days of possible madness where teams around Europe need to decide just how badly they need to bolster in certain positions. In general terms, the winter window is quieter than its summer counterpart, but that doesn’t mean that bigger deals won’t be done.
We only need to look at this time last year when Man United signed Bruno Fernandes by way of example. The Red Devils could be heavily involved in the merry go round again this winter, particularly as the Norwegian manager’s side have eased up into second place in the table without really breaking a sweat.
A top signing or two at this juncture could well be the difference to their aspirations of the title or not. To that end, Red Devils continued interest in Aston Villa winger, Jack Grealish, however, Man United may bitterly regret not signing him in the summer when his price was set at £65m.
That’s because if they want to prise him away from Villa Park now, thanks to his fantastic form in the first half of the campaign, the Midlanders now want £100m for him. The question the Red Devils will need to ask themselves now is whether they can let him slip through their fingers again.
There’s so much to admire about Jack Grealish’s play now. Goals and assists merely underscore the way he marauds around the pitch dictating the pace of the game. Gone is the selfishness in possession, replaced by energy and direction upon which Aston Villa completely rely.
