skarroki Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 24 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Again, I love all the idioitic fans who think 'we are spending the Grealish money early'. Did they not think that maybe Jack is also influencing the transfers and who he wants to play alongside? I hope we're not building our entire team and philosophy around 1 player. From what Purslow and Smith has said the opposite is true, we need to have more creativity and drive elsewhere on the pitch in case he's injured or out the side for any reason again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed a new 5 year deal last year, would cost £50m I think. Can’t see it happening. Didn't realise he recently signed a 5 year deal. Even more ridiculous than I first thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Seems unlikely. And not the CM I think we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "it's understood" Villa want to sign midfielders and JWP would be good option. I don't think we're after any JWP type midfielders. This is lazy crap and everyone is falling for it besides the fact JWP leaving makes no sense and would be terrible value You seem very angry about this story. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so no history and speculative wording equals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Would surely take £50m (ish) to get Southampton interested. Seems a bit out of reach to me. Edited June 6, 2021 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more ridiculous than I first thought I wonder if he has a buy out clause given this and the now the link. Seems unlikely but given the link is out of the blue and source, it's hard to dismiss out of hand I dont have a view on JWP to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2021 Whatever NSWE showed Buendia to make him choose our project over Arsenals - will be equally convincing in this situation - question is, is JWP happy at saints or is he keen to join what is becoming a very ambitious push for the top of the table.

I agree, does this guy BS a lot, somebody else said he doesnt normally do rumours and does have links to the Villa. As you say BS generally gets in the way believing stuff like this until something more substantial is shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno mate, only giving you a bit of background. I really don't care that much either way, these things either happen or they don't. The interest itself could be speculative? Could be an agent fishing for an improved deal for his client? Could have just made it up out of thin air? Or he could be ITSOTP tomorrow. I don't see any point getting dragged into he validity of speculation, but it's something to discuss on a wet Sunday in Birmingham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I said it in the Jan transfer thread, this guy would be a perfect fit for us. Set piece specialist, which we desperately need. Bags of energy. Tenacious, aggressive, and a bit dirty. Best as a DLP, also good as an 8. With Mcginn and Luiz in front (with even Luiz swapping positions with him) between the three of them there is enough balls won. He improves the passing quality also. With him and Buendia we basically would be address most of our weaknesses while improving the strengths. Even more workrate, we'll be up there with Leeds and Southampton with the most presses and distance covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
