Very sketchy source, I’d imagine.

Ings doesn’t fit what we are going for.

Oh well. These things happen. Can the next Villa hero please stand up, please stand up?

I think this car crash thread the last few days has allowed me to accept this graciously. Good luck Jack. Now **** off quickly so we can focus on the future of AVFC.

UTV!

I know it hasn’t been announced on the official channel, but I have this sneaky ITK feeling Bailey is going to be announced by the club tomorrow.

Does that get me Tier 0?

“I’ll sign for you if you sign 25 of my mates to the Academy” vibes

Oh god. Bailey is just going to be a beautiful car crash of a player for us isn’t he. Amazing on the pitch, and trucking’ mental off it. LOVE

Just so that you guys know. The more time you spend in this thread, the more action you’ll miss in the Grealish thread, and you’ll be judged for it.

I’m not going to say this is like the time your mates got Adidas trackies with three stripes and yours had two. But yeah, this is just like that time your mates got Adidas trackies with three stripes and yours had two.

I really REALLY like this bloke. 

North Stand to the CJ Golson End?

Honestly Kane makes so much more sense for what they need. Grealish seems like a total luxury. They need an Aguero replacement.

I'm at the point now where I just want this resolved regardless

I'll be devastated if he goes, but look at the state of this thread and how most of us are feeling this week

We need the clarity so we can prepare for the season ahead. If that's with him - fantastic, what a result that will be.

If it's without him - we need time to get the right players in and learn a new system. This latter element is key for me.

We've had 4+ years of playing every ball (or near enough) through Jack, when he's been fit. We've seen last season we weren't strong enough without him.

That all needs fixed, which will take time.

So it's shit or get off the pot time really, for both club and player. If the transfer is inevitable, make it happen and get the right terms agreed. If not, get that new contract signed and let the speculation burn.

But another week of this can only damage our season IMO.

Sht or get off the pot...

Half of the angst here is because our club actually behave like real investors and management. We’re a tight ship, and that will serve us very well in the future.

We might feel better if we had a Harry Redknapp chasing Jack up the M6 to try and pull him over and turn around back to B6, but that’s not the way we operate.

Either they've driven from London to Manchester in under a couple of hours, or maybe there's someone that looks a little bit like Jack Grealish to the untrained eye.

Matty Cash is signing for Citeh for 100 million?!?!

Heist of the century!!!

Okay, whilst I'm not convinced by Axel and Tammy right now, this hit hard. 

 

I still cringe at that video...

I think the only way to top it is some sort of Hulk remake.

Get Jack accidentally shot by a laser, putting on a Man City shirt, looking like he is about to sign a contract, and then Hulking Out, his muscles ripping the shirt into tatters, and turning into a giant Claret and Blue monster and smashing up the City conference room.

He spent the day with the personal trainer dealing with his heel blisters.

Got it!

Noticeable lack of Jack in that official training video???

Yeah, I dunno why you're all getting upset. Why train with the first team if everyone knows he is leaving? Might as well not turn up like Kane? 

Have faith. 

Well it is different. Kane has to push it because Levy is a word removed. But we’re being reasonable with Jack.

Just now, DCJonah said:

I think the picture is starting to become clearer. 

Not all done and dusted. 

I personally think Jack wants to leave. If he didn't, then we'd have a contract announcement by now. 

I also think he's clearly not going to kick off. 

So we're in a situation where either we accept the bid or Jack kicks off. I'm not confident but I think we will put up a fight. 

Watching that video (the one that got deleted) he looks sheepish AF to me…

There a video doing the rounds of him bantering with gaffer on the training pitch

Unlike a lot of our fans, Deano is a professional and reasonable human being and understands that this is a tough choice for Jack and only wants the best for him…

I was always think of Gabby when I hear the lyric "Scout yourself as a one man team, you're a one club man denied a testimonial" from For Whom The Belly Tolls by Los Campesinos!

Jack on the other hand, will have a Villa testimonial.
