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

Unless there is a release clause in his contract then I can’t see this one happening. 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

Looking at his twitter timeline Paul Doyle is clearly Midlands based, often conducts exclusive interviews with Villa players, and never talks about transfers.

Yeah so no history and speculative wording equals?

You seem very angry about this story. 

 I'm angry about bullshit rumour with obvious speculative wording i.e. no substance. I get pissed off with the countless made up Grealish to leave Villa articles, don't you?

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

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.

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.

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.

The Sun reporting it too

 

 

 It's a massive circle jerk. Always has been. Remember reading article 2 decades ago saying red top transfer rumour success rate was in low-high teens% Nothing has changed

in fairness it's been started by a paper that is not renowned for tittle tattle. it's a more reputable journo and media outlet. yes the rags have since jumped on the story but it was broken by the guardian

i think that's why we're taking it as more than just a rumour
