Grealish is a pie in the sky Two reasons why Manchester City's burden drop Grealish and Tottenham can't take it

Tottenham Hotspur, which has rarely been out of the swamp of sluggishness, is poised to turn the mood around by recruiting players in the January transfer market.
In fact, this is the only way to do it. There is also a way to replace coach Enze Postecoglou and bring in a new coach, but this shakes the team too much.
Tottenham, currently 11th (24 points), cannot go to the UEFA-organized league tournament next season if this is the case. At least fifth place to play in the Europa League. He is eight points behind fifth-ranked Newcastle United (32 points) at the time of 19 rounds. It's not impossible to chase at all. If Tottenham revamp the team's atmosphere and boost its power through the January transfer market, it may catch up.
However, it is not easy to bring in players from the transfer market. Success can be achieved only when both funding and negotiating power are established.
Tottenham also cannot recruit 'First Pick' due to this problem. It's been a long time since the top recruitment target was already taken, but it's not very likely to join the team. The ransom is too high and, crucially, he does not want to live in London, the home of Tottenham. The main character is Jack Grealish, who has been branded as Manchester City's 'lug of baggage' this season.

From the beginning, Tottenham were very interested in Grealish. He also planned to catch two rabbits of performance and box office success with the recruitment of Grealish, Manchester City's representative player and EPL's representative star player.
However, an internal Tottenham official confessed that the plan would soon be suspended. There are a number of factors. First of all, Grealish itself is not very attractive unlike before.
Grealish is experiencing the worst slump of the season. He was completely absent before Leicester City in the 19th round of the EPL at 11:30 p.m. on the 29th. I waited for Pep Guardiola's call from the bench, but I didn't get a chance in the end.
This is because the form is too low.
Grealish joined Manchester City with a transfer fee of 100 million pounds (about 184.7 billion won) ahead of the 2021-2022 season. In the 2022-2023 season, he also played a key role in Treble with five goals and 11 assists in official matches. However, his form has declined since last season. In the past year, he has appeared in 18 official games, with only two goals and two assists. Even the goal was last against Crystal Palace in the 17th round last December.

However, TBR Football quoted a Tottenham insider as saying that Grealish's transfer to Tottenham would be difficult for `two reasons.' First of all, the ransom is too high. After signing a £100 million contract, the weekly wage is also the highest in Manchester City. It's too much for Tottenham to handle.
The second reason is that Grealish is crucially negative about leaving Manchester, northwest of London, and moving south. Grealish is so happy with Manchester's living conditions. Therefore, even if money problems such as weekly wages are solved, it is difficult to convince Grealish that he has to come down to North London. After all, for Tottenham, Grealish is just a pie in the sky.
