Either we've bid or we haven't. If we have, it's because we know the player is open to it. Arsenal will want to keep him of course, and may well do. But they won't want to be paying him a fortune when their salary situation is already horrible and with no Champions League to show for it and money needed for new signings. Maybe he just smells what NSWE is cooking and likes it. He won't be alone there. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quick! Attempting to save face when probably unnecessary. I assume they’ll flip-flop again when ESR signs a bumper 5 year deal at Arsenal and proclaim he’s worth every penny. They will 100% do this. Villa fans are known as fickle, these guys are FICKLE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hypocritical of us to not understand their reasoning. Given our own stance? On what? Grealish is already a world class player. If he stayed fit all season people would be saying he's the best player in the prem. Maybe the best in the world. Smith-Rowe has potential and is already decent but he isn't Jack.

Why should Arsenal care what you, I or anyone else thinks? Similar to us. Even on AFTV, they admitted that his actual value is about 30 million, but they shouldn't accept anything less than 50 - 60 mill, in their opinion. What you're attempting to argue, makes no sense, Arsenal should let their young player go, which Aston Villa obviously see huge potential in ( to possibly get to Grealish level as you say ) at a price we think is fair,. because Grealish is World Class, and he is not? lol But scoff at some people feeling Jack isn't worth 100 million? Newsflash, 99 percent of these players aren't actually worth the values they are being bought and sold for, it's what they are worth to the club. Pretty sure you already know this, there shouldn't even be an argument about it. Now we arrogantly want to dictate what another clubs player is worth? lol If only negotiations and transfers were that easy.

No, but he is world class by *most* definitions? Why does Emile Smith-Rowe have to be as good as Jack Grealish in any case? Is this the bar we are setting for new signings now? Seems a bit of a reach, to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 So, with the reported £75m price tag that Arsenal have slapped on Smith Rowe I do hope his agent is currently negotiating a comparable £125k/week deal for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Interesting how dif sources rush to do mock-up Photoshops of Grealish in dif kits (Soccer AM put him in a Citeh shirt) and encourage a move away, but won’t do the same when it’s the other way round (so fans do it instead ) or a player from a shitty 6 club is targeted. Hypocrites. So many comments/tweets on how a move for Jack would be good but Arsenal mustn’t sell Smith-Rowe and build the side around him. Utter shitbags, can’t wait for us to shove it all down their throats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: And sorry , Jack Grealish isn't the " best player in the world " come off it ffs. Well no Messi is. But Messi isn't going to be the best player in the world for much longer. And best player in the best league does go a long way to earning that title. Especially given how productive he has been for England whilst delivering performances that are below par for his standards. And it isn't about arsenal caring about our opinion. They know he isn't Jack everyone in their squad has a price. Apparently for Smith-Rowe it is just over double our initial offer. So like 50-60 million. And maybe less depending on how well we negotiate and what players they bring in. And how his contract saga ends. Conversely Jack is priceless to us, to the fans and to the club.

Mazrim Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Messi never has been. It's Ronaldo. Jackaldo will take over though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Given our interest in Smith-Rowe, and I presume we'd love to have Saka - might it be worth just putting in a bid for Arsenal as a whole? Then we could just sell off the assets, and wind it down or keep it as a feeder club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season it's Arsenal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I see Arsenal are spending the Smith Rowe money up front on Nuno Tavares from Benfica & Sambi lokonga from Anderlecht… 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
