For some strange reason the media have a very bad impression of Villa, we never get any praise off them. For an example during the World Cup, ITV did a piece on southgate, they talked about his time at a Palace and then Middlesborough. Never mentioned his time at Villa (and the fact that it was Gregory who made him a cb). was Little. though I dont disagree about media but I prefer they dont talk about us if honest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I always fear the worst when I come on to Villatalk and see the Grealish topic at the top of the page with a very recent post. It was very comforting to see this quite far down the page tbf. Oh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Clubs are probably going to play hardball with us on Grealish. No one wants to pay 30 million for grealish. Clubs don't even want to pay 20 million, so they will wait as long as they can and hope Tony gets nervous and realizes he needs the money more than he needs Grealish. I think we will have Grealish here until early august, and then we will see a few clubs come in with bids around 12-15 million. Ultimately Tony will have to decide is 15 million better now, or hope having Grealish gets us promoted? The latter is a better bet if clubs won't give us what we want for him. Just depends how bad we really are financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends how bad we really are financially. We really shouldn't be looking at bids that are significantly lower than what Norwich got for James Maddison. Other clubs know his worth and to bid more than £10m below that is insulting although sadly predictable given the mess we have been put in.

(But that's probably just Spurs fans in disguise). I actually mentioned this ages ago that this would be the type of deal Bruce would sanction if still manager. To reiterate. Any type of deal for Grealish including Onomah as a make weight would leave Levy and the Spurs fan base laughing all the way to the bank.

Fowlersrs Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Grealish will amost certainly leave, he is one of the highest assets at avfc now if not "the" sellable asset.

Welsh_Villan Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Seriously, If he did refuse to leave what they going to do? ‘Bomb squad?’ Surely the ball is in jacks caught if U look at the situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy If he desperately doesn’t want to go he simply doesn’t sign the contract to join the other club. He cannot be forced to sign. He can be asked and explained about the financial issues about it but he can still say no, Villa are under an obligation to pay him a wage or terminate his contract. Think about it the other way, if it was that easy to get rid of players, why are Richards and McCormack still here? Sure there may be a lot less interest in them but the same principle applies. And if he refuses to sign, what are Villa going to do, not play him and reduce his value? The ball is actually completely in his hands so if he really wanted to stay, actually there is nothing stopping him. Personally though, would think it is completely daft and professionally he would be better plying his trade in the top flight rather than single handedly trying to promote us! Well that’s my head, my heart has him demanding a 10 year contract at £10k a week.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
