Leon said

"Aston villa heading in the right direction, it's a top club"

This is brilliant.

Or he was giving a sort of compassionate release to do his signing at home since his grandmother is sick. (I believe that's what was reported re:the grandmother)

Yes you could be right it was mentioned his grandmother was ill.

Family is important fair play villa and Leon's dad for sorting this.

Leon's dad is superb if I see him at Villa Park I'm getting him a beer. This is entertaining a new way forward.

Guys this is superb welcome leon bailey UTV

On the phone to lange??????

I don't think people realise what an immensely monumental and proud moment/move this will be for Leon, his family, and other connected Jamaicans.

Fair point leon bailey looks an absolute machine he will be perfect for Premier league.

Where is this conference.

This is utterly bonkers everyday this BS carries on were getting closer to Watford game.

We have young and beundia signed, Bailey imminent.

We should be playing our strongest team against Sevilla ready for Watford.

One player who is superb is actually holding us back now sick and tired of it.

For me Jack’s silence is a big factor. He’s usually very prolific posting on Instagram, Tik Tok etc… His silence speaks volumes imo.

Jack's silence and also the clubs, we need to get players in to start the season so we are on the front foot.

Some Spuds fan on Twitter saying there's a lot of cameras outside of Villa Park.

Anyone heading to the Club Shop today?

Today one way or the other will be insane.

100mil offer and it will either be British record broken or jack signs new contract.

A penny for Jack's thoughts today his stomach will be doing summersaults.

I have to go to Manchester today, so it'll be Talkshite all the way. So if you can keep me up to date that'll be great, instead of hearing to that radio station gagging for Jack to sign for Man City all day.

Kevin keegan voice " I'd love it if jack rejected man City today, love it" lol

Quick question, have the press ever stated that they expect a club to accept an offer before, rather than waiting for an official response? I don't remember ever hearing them say that before and it seems so disrespectful to the club (no surprise there).

To me I think 100mil offer the press have made the assumption WE WILL ACCEPT.

I don’t think the club would parade him around in villa clobber, in what was clearly a public venue, if he was about to sign for another club. 

I have to agree mate it seems absolutely insane to do that.

Only thing maybe is he was saying goodbye, but still I'd say he's staying.

One thing I don’t understand is why would he be asked to do what is essentially a pointless training session if he was nailed on to leave?

Also which I'm not sure if been said wasn't he meant to return to training tuesday. If so 2 days early seems pointless if he's out the door.

Guys jack is back in uk so now the mind games/ should I shouldn't I fiasco starts.

Agent money orientated will want most money zero care  for jack but his family imo will be key he will take advise from them.

The absolutely pivotal part if jack leaves without fail we must strengthen.

For me Jack's money should.get JWP, Bailey and alverez at least. Then a few loans for CB and GK.

Jack's departure if it happens could actually allow us to move forward sounds strange as I don't want him to leave like us all but imo it's true.

This guy showing you the way Jack, no matter how hard they try city fans will not worship you like us Villa fans to them you are just another player to us you are Mr Aston  Villa. UTV

The more I read about this from the Man City side the more it looks to be happening. 

I just read a City Twitter account where they report the negotiations are all about how Villa want the money paid up front in one go with no add-ons or players involved. Also claims they have Jack scheduled for a medical next week. 

If true, I just hope we spend the money wisely and he goes there and wins fook all. 

According to press its nailed on but from now until Monday alot of thinking time if jack was of the same mold as Barry,Miller,Yorke,downing,young  and was just a mere employee with zero love and affection he couldn't give a rats backside and would think get me to city.

It's looking unlikely he stays but never ever rule out the love a home bred player has for the club they joined/supported since a young boy.

I honestly believe if he leaves yes he will win trophies and earn a payrise but deep inside his heart will be broken.

Let's hope Jack feels the same we do.... 

I wonder who has the most sway in advising him... Family or agent

Agent will be money obsessed 100%  his family his genuine happiness imo he'd make millions whatever he decides.

I'd imagine a fair few tears in grealish House, was he 5yrs old when he joined villa alot of history and affiliation to the club memories that live on.

OK now today's dust has settled and the 100mil been spouted everywhere in the media let's discuss.

The 100mil has not been confirmed accepted or minimum release clause activated ( if there was one).

Jack is due back to training Monday so things will intensify I'd imagine Monday into Tuesday it results in new Contract signed, offer accepted pending medical or out right rejection of the 100mil offer.

I honestly believe if jack grealish leaves he will not be going " like the cat that got the cream" he'd be leaving  the villa as he stated his club, regardless of what people say he is a villa lad and always will be the problem we have here is this is the most recent " one of our own " to leave who is a fantastic player and been very loyal to our club and its very tough for us to accept but he has helped us to where we are and now could be his time to try new avenues.

NSWE have plans and this will be a setback but not the end, we must if the inevitable happens regroup believe in the owners and the plans set ahead and drive this sleeping giant back amongst the elite it won't be easy but Leicester showed anything can happen.

Aston villa will always be in Jack's DNA so regardless if he leaves we should reflect what he has done for our amazing club, he stayed when we were in championship a guy that has zero concern or loyalty  for the club would of walked away but jack couldn't, last season the same we just escaped and he stuck with his club again. 

If jack goes to man City as those journos claim he will,I cannot believe there wont be tears and the ache in his heart when he walks.out of bodymoor heath for the last time.

At the end of the day we don't want to lose him but he has a career to explore and my view will be go well jack thanks for the memories.

NSWE are trying there best but Rome wasn't built in a day we must have patience and faith miracles do happen.
