Fairy In Boots Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’m privy to ITK info on this saga. I’m not going to reveal how or why but it’s legit. I’ll say after the deal. He’s going Spurs few will be about £20m he’s already agreed personal terms. We appear to want to cash in, fee is the sticking point. I’m devastated by it frankly, absolutely sickening again. I love this club but hate it at the same time, this malaise goes back 20 years now it started with Yorke. The likes of Cahil, Milner, Barry, Young & now Jack. Always selling out best players, from champions of Europe to a selling club it’s truly pathetic and some previous regimes have a lot to answer for. Weve been let down continually by poor management and incompetence & cowardice at boardroom level. Spurs are a similar sized club to us, they’re streets ahead now though because for ten years they’ve been a well run club. Hes gone this summer lads, I wish it wasn’t so but harden your hearts over it. A truly class player and potentially the most talented we’ll let go. Absolutely scandalous again from this club I’m so angry about it. We deserve so much better as a fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He's agreed terms...before a fee has been settled? That seems a bit arse about face doesn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern football it’s always that way now. They sound out players via their agents and once it’s agreed they then discuss fees with parent clubs. If we had gone up this wouldn’t have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Bob Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think we need to close this one and move on. We need the money, but just as much we need to plan for next season. And closing a deal early will make it easier. He's not going to stay, we can't afford him to stay either. The only question still open is how much cash we will get. It's sad, but there will be other players in the future. It's not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If he is sold for 20m then about half a dozen staff need to be fired immediately. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenthal Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Size of the fee probably not as important in their discussions as how much is up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I'm very skeptical of 'ITK' information but if this does turn out to be true this club is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Tbf, a couple of my mates were out in Marbella a few weeks back and Grealish was there. All the talk was he was off to Spurs. Xia has to be very careful what he does with this. If the fee is anything less than 30m, he will piss a lot of fans off (if we could be more pissed off). If Sam Clucas is worth 17m, Maddison 25m, then Jack is worth at least 30m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed he’s 25 plus add ons at least I reckon. Levy is a hard nosed businessman though so I expect he’ll strike a good deal. Ironically Levy is exactly what we need at the Villa, it’s past sporting men now, you need businessmen managing finances & player wages / contracts. 6 minutes ago, sexbelowsound said: I'm very skeptical of 'ITK' information but if this does turn out to be true this club is a joke.

Leicester were in for him but he prefers Spurs hence they switched to Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2018 If he goes for 20m then I will not step foot in VP whilst Dr.X is there. Was a plonker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well and good agreeing terms but if their fee falls radically short of our valuation he ain't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He's better than Alli so I guess we'll be getting him as a loan then, as Alli won't want to sit on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon for Jack it is the perfect time to leave. He gets to go to a really good ambitious club, with a much enhanced contract yet can steer the narrative that he had to go for the good of Villa. Remains a fan favourite and keeps the door open for a return in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Interestingly we've got reports that he's all but signed for Spurs whilst the newspapers are reporting that Spurs will lose out to Liverpool. Someone is wrong, hopefully both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
