    New manager

    in Villa Talk

    Klinsmann, Bradley or Arena I presume if it is true that Fox is in the U.S. at the moment?

     

    Bradley is coaching in Norway I think -- so I doubt he'd be meeting in the states. 

    The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread

    in Other Football

    Posted

    Jack Grealish has been offered a new four-year deal as Aston Villa strive to hold onto their teenage wing wonder.

    Grealish, who celebrates his 19 birthday tomorrow, is into the final 12 months of his current deal.

    The Bodymoor Heath academy graduate has burst onto the first team scene this season after a breakthrough year on loan at League One Notts County in 2013-14.

    A boyhood Villa fan who has been with the club since the age of six, Grealish is expected to agree new terms later this month, although there are still some issues to be resolved.

    His representatives are set to meet with manager Paul Lambert next week for the next stage of negotiations.

     

    Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Grealish, having watched his rise from the youth team ranks, but Grealish would prefer to continue his development with Villa, providing a suitable deal can be struck.

    Grealish made his first team debut as a late substitute in VIlla’s 4-0 defeat at Manchester City in May.

    But it is in the last month that he has really started to make his mark, coming off the bench to impress in the Premier League victories over Stoke and Hull, and starting his first competitive match in the Capital One Cup defeat to Leyton Orient. 

    Grealish played for Ireland under-21s in their 2-0 defeat to Germany in Halle last week, and his representatives recently met Martin O’Neill as the Brummie wideboy decides whether to pledge his international future to Ireland or England.

    $200 Million Takeover

    I will miss randy. He seems like a top bloke. But he's just not able to help us. If be happy if he stuck around on the board or something like that. Doesn't he still have involvement with the browns?

     

    No, he's not involved with the team now. That is no surprise though because it was his father's team that was passed down to him and he sold it as soon as he was contractually allowed to. His father died in 2002 and the team was passed down and not allowed to be sold for 10 years, Browns were sold in 2012 (as is the luck in Cleveland, now owned by a man under FBI investigation for fraud).

    Also with Davis\Simpson - I was reading they took over Texas rangers when they were in administration. Could it therefore be feasible they may still want us if the worst happens (Relegation) 

     

    How does baseball work ?  Are there transfer fees - relegation promotion ?

     

    No transfer fees. Either player trades or free agent signings.

     

    No Relegation either. 

     

    If memory serves, he bought the team while they were teetering on bankruptcy.  

     

    Didn't they pay $50 million for a pitcher?

     

    You are right. Totally forgot about the Yu Darvish deal. International players (usually from Japanese baseball league) often demand transfer fees. But within the league and most countries don't use the fee system.

    I don't see how Albrighton got the better of Shaw.

    He got crosses in, yes. That's what Alby does, day in day out. He gets the ball, he crosses. He's quite good at it, and I don't think Shaw did poorly there.

    Alby was in big trouble coming back though. Shaw outran him several times and was very dangerous.

    It was a good battle between the two. Enjoyable.

    That speaks well of Marc. Shaw is on the trajectory to be a star, Marc is not. He is a decent player with an ability to send the ball with the right foot from out wide. It appears, from the limit appearances of him playing on the wing, that he owns that knows where he is best and plays to it. He does need a strong FB behind him because he'll give effort on the defensive end-- but effort isn't enough to make him solid while defending.
