Adam2003 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Think people worrying about Collymore are reading too much into it. He’s saying Jack won’t move anywhere to be a sub/rotation player. That’s good for us. Not that I think he has any clue of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I know people are trying to come up with reasons why he shouldn't/won't leave but just because Southgate underused him that doesn't mean to say that Guardiola would do the same, he'd be starting most weeks for Man City as they'd know how to use him and he'd be more suitable for the football that they play. Tthere's no way that Man City would pay the money that it would take to buy him just to be a bit part player, despite all their money they're not that kind of club, their record signing is Mahrez for around £60m, they're not going to beat that transfer record by who knows how much for a player that's just going to be a squad player or rotational option. Basically he'd be a regular starter for them and would excel in their team, so these ideas that he'd be 'just another player' in their team of stars doesn't ring true to me, he'd be one of their best players.

This feeling wont ever be felt by those ring chasers. @KDTrey5 looking at you ofcourse. that 6-7 year journey going from 0 to 100 with the same franchise building trust and a foundation in the franchise rather than hopping from team to team picking up chips with all -nba teammates No other fans will love you like we do. You can go somewhere else, but no one will ever know how they boo'd you, and then you decided you would make us love you. We do believe in you. You made us believe. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Comments from Milwaukee Bucks star player who was at a similar cross roads to Jack, after winning the NBA Championship. Giannis post game: “It’s easy to go and win a Championship with someone else. I could go, it’s easy. I could go to a super-team, play my part and win it but this is the hard way to do it and we did it. We **** did it.” Edited July 21, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. say we get 90mm for him (it's low but I like simple math). I don't think you can improve Villa by the same amount as you lost by buying 3 x 30mm players. This isn't true. Just look at Leicester...they have sold the likes of Mahrez, Kante and Chillwell and have managed to improve their squad with smart, reasonable priced additions.

Disagree with the bold. He was as important to that title winning side as Jack is to us. Rest, agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was key to then winning absolutely, but Kante doesn't attract other players to them like Grealish would to us. I meant value including those kind of intangible type elements. Fair that some may still disagree though. You compare our form without Grealish and he is definitely worth as much to us as Kante was to Leicester in terms of results, if not more.

They've missed out on the Top 4 by a single place two seasons running (they finished four points adrift of Chelsea in 19/20 and only 1 point behind them last season). Plus they're the current F.A. Cup holders (beating Chelsea—aka the current European Champions—in the final). That's a high level of achievement with a solid suggestion of consistency about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also a significant drop from winning the league... apply the same respective decline to our team (of their best league finished since winning) and we finish next season in the bottom 5. Yes, we've already made one signing who will cover a lot of Jack's creativity, and look like we may be in for another in Leon Bailey... but still, Jack is the reason we could even consider attracting this callibre of player. It's been reported that Buendia was told that Jack is not being sold this summer as part of our negotiations. He is worth more to us than any amount of cash. Fair to say Leicester over achieved when they won, but to not finish top 4 since is a sign that even though they did well in getting replacements, they aren't as good as they were.

Kante, Chilwell ,Maguire Mahrez have all finished in the top 4 and played Champions league football with their new clubs since they left Leicester.
