Jas10 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 4 hours ago, kieranavfc said: His release clause should be nowhere near 25 million. If he keeps improving the way he is there will be a bidding war come the end of the season should we not go up. IMO there shouldn't be a figure written into the contract, only a private assurance that they won't stand in his way and won't be unreasonable. That way if he improves enough to call the attention of the biggest clubs they'd be more likely to splash out millions more to get their man. Agreed, he’s only going to continue to improve and is a unique talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Seems to be getting on well and creating a bond with McGinn. They're roomies in the hotel tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 They have a thread on him in the Ipswich forum and they woefully underrate him. Can't wait for him to dominate them tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The stats thing to me is bullshit and just a judgement from people that dont watch the game. He doesnt get the assists but he is usually the guy feeding the assister David Silva if ever watch City is nearly always involved in the goals but is only credited with about 10 assists a season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) let me guess its pages of fans from other teams complaining that he's a diver with shit hair and needs to pull his socks up? edit: i had a look, as expected 2nd comment Can't stand the kid. I think it's the hair. He's better now but he always used to strike me as a real prima donna.

Killeen30 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I really only see any new contract as protecting our investment. He will eventually go, but let’s enjoy him being at The Villa whilst we have him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, even if you are getting very much ahead of yourself haha! Even if we are promoted this season European qualification is seasons off, as if Jack is as good as most of us think he’ll not be here ‘seasons’ down the line. It’s a short career.

villa4europe Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 on the contract - if he does sign something, doubling his wages making him the highest paid player at the club and including a non promotion clause after we've spent a summer of him being linked who spurs who didnt make a realistic bid....if our marketing department splashes the word "loyalty" everywhere i'll be fuming, its not loyalty im looking at the palace / zaha stuff and i find it laughable, same with the previous terry, lampard, gerrard, rooney stuff, it really grinds my gears when a player stays at a club purely because 2 clubs couldnt agree a figure, he gets a bumper deal and then they try and they try and mug the fans off with "loyalty" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we actually kept our best players of recent (by this I am not implying we always had the capacity to) we would not be that far off European placing right now. Gueye Delph Albrighton Grealish Young Benteke Grealish will be an integral part of any success this club will see in the near future. I believe this club can have the capacity to be among Europe's elite. It's a matter of leadership and loyalty, severely lacking at the club for what nearly became a decade. It's a long way back to European football for us, thankfully we have a player like Grealish on side. That's not a bad start. The fact that he is a supporter too is special.

He actually played well enough Saturday in my view but the problem is now he’s our only threat.....although of course McGinn is emerging as one as well. Its too easy for the opposition. At his best last season he had company in Snodgrass, CH, and an in form Albert. That spread the load for both us and the opposition. We need 4 creative players, not 2, in my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
