This happens often, but when he hands a transfer request after an impasse has been reached between the 2 clubs, as in this case, it's pretty clear what's going on. You're signing a CB instead anyway, so it seems it wasn't that big a priority but yet you did manage to unsettle a player from a smaller club. Between Sterling, Walker, Stones, Mahrez, Grealish and the failed Kane transfer, you do seem to be developing a pattern in buying the best players of clubs below you and thus weakening the league and its competitiveness, a la Bayern, which is worrying and one reason I'm bringing it up as a topic worthy of consideration.

Grealish, yes we overpaid, but Villa signed him to a long term deal to ensure they got the money they wanted, which they were absolutely entitled to do.
