How many regular transfers would that typically take? Apart from **** the club 'he loves' season by doing it less that two weeks before the season and also pissing off the moment someone actually made a bid for him. Its always been about Jack and only Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The question for all of the haters out there is... What is the crowds choice of vegetable to throw at him next season? You can't have cabbage that's been done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Wonder how much not getting time for England has impacted him. The one person to boo here is Southgate, should be banned from Villa Park. If he goes to City I bet he's never on the bench for England again.

Villarocker Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, Keyblade said: Trying to work out, if there's a release clause and we're in negotiations, what exactly are we negotiating? The structure of the payment? Typically when a release clause has been triggered, it's reported by the media as such. Notable recent examples for us are Delph and Benteke. I do remember Liverpool trying to negotiate a deal below the release clause though, could this be what it is? Is there even a release clause? For all the journalists tripping over themselves trying to cover this story, they don't have cover it in mystery and confusion. Seems to me like they got wind of a £100m release clause and had made various attempts at fulfilling it - deals with add-ons and players involved etc - but they weren't to Villa's liking. They've now made a £100m up front offer and Villa have no choice but to accept it as it is in a legally binding contract. That leaves Man Shitty free to approach Jack and put their offer of a contract in front of him. If that is where we're at it all now boils down to question of whether Jack takes their offer and goes there for what he believes is instant success or whether his love for Villa and being Captain etc is enough to keep him here. If he goes it is all about him wanting to win trophies and not waiting/trying to get that with Villa. For me, if he goes, I don't wish him well and I don't want him to succeed. I won't ever boo him but I'll never acknowledge him either. He will just be another player at another club.

Reivax_Villa Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 We didn’t have the option to accept the bid also. After just surviving to stay up Grealish’s agent definitely negotiated a release clause otherwise that 5 year deal would not have been signed. It looks like the release clause has been triggered.

If you play for Villa, you are one of us. I was quite young when Staunton played for us, so didn’t notice any toxicity towards him, if there was any? Not that i remember he went from villa, Liverpool, villa, Liverpool over his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Man City, PSG and the Spanish Duo run off blank check books in world football. I know what you’re saying…but in the last we have lost out on not selling players at their ‘peak’ value. imagine we kept him and he got crocked 5 games in. We must use this as a FFP buffer, invest well and build a squad…which were half way to doing…which I know makes it more agonising. Players hold the power these days. No matter what you do. All a club can EVER do is retain as high a value as possible through protecting their ‘asset’ contractually. Once they want to leave it’s a question of how much…for EVERY club except Man City in the PL. Rubbish mate. So you want to sell him just in case he gets injured. You want to sell him for FFP buffer. You want to bend over even though Jack signed the deal 10 months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 There is no release clause. Why is it so hard to accept that maybe Jack does and still does believe in the vision put to him? And would therefore not include such a clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it is accepted, I fully expect Jack to go. We’re basically asking him not to be as ambitious as we want to be as a club. We're asking a lifelong fan and our Captain to give the project another year to get us back into Europe which it's fully on the cards unless he abandons us a couple of weeks before the season starts. He'll get nothing but hostility from me if he leaves like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
