For me, Grealish has done nothing to warrant the praise he has received from top managers and the press. Yes, he has scored a few great goals but he doesn’t dominate a game or take a game by the scruff of the kneck. He comes across to me like ‘I’m too good for this team’ and no player should do that, regardless of how good they are What? He is the only player we have who does this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platty used to knock around mere green with a few fat blokes from Sutton! He was good Platt to be fair but Grealish is on another level. Injury permitting he will do great things Nothing wrong with being a portly bloke from Sutton! Grealish hasn't hit Platt levels yet IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He touches the ball more than any other player, he makes the most passes, he keeps the ball better, he dribbles with the ball more, he has more assists and more goals. I could go on and on. There is no other player we have or have had in a long time that has that sort of impact on the team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Wish he could just come out and state he's staying with the club and sign a new 10 year contract. Would stop the journalists write so much utter shite. He's made for life now already, so he's at fork where he can either stay and become a legend or leave and just become another academy product that most fans will remember with an ambivalent taste. Personally hope he goes the road of Le Tissier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Fouled more than anyone else, created more chances than most premier league midfielders. Minutes per goal & assist is better than Maddison and most other midfielders who aren’t at Manchester City. if he keeps this form until the end of the season his stock will be mega. I can’t see a fee of less than £65m which is what Randy Lerner Bought Our whole club for (£68m). I hope Purslow is trying to ensure if we stay in the Premier League we have deals lined up early to try and give assurance to Jack we are seriously building for the future but also bringing in real quality to build this club to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 When you see what £ 40 million gets you £65 million would be a pisstake. We're not gonna sell so it's a non issue, bit if we had to he'd go for way more than that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire went for £80 M...a CB!!! As a maker and scorer of goals I can only see Jack leaving for at least £80-85M.....probably pushing the £100M..plus the fact he’s got 4 yrs left on contract. (Obviously this will change should we get relegated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I posted this on Facebook: Quote Anybody else getting sick and tired of these disrespectful Jack Grealish stories tabloids have been coming out with relentlessly over the past few days? It is actually starting to look like some kind of conspiracy to destabilise the club and player, as they know if his head gets turned right now, and his performances dip, their is a higher chance we go down, and almost NO chance some of these clubs get him if we stay UP. It might sound far fetched but trust me, at the end of the day it's money and business, you have no idea how far people with connections will go to get what they want. Aside from that, I see some of our very own fans "resigned" to him leaving, look, we are not a small club with a low ceiling, we are not Hull, Bournemouth, Burnley, or Brentford ffs. We are a historical club, with a huge fanbase and ceiling. We have extremely wealthy owners, CEO and ambition. if we stay up, there is no way Jack Grealish leaves, he will be sold the vision and we will then be in the market now for actual top quality players to push on. Infrastructure will continue to be built to push on. If we stay up, and Jack is presented with the option to stay, on big money, make history with the club he "loves" and still decides he wants to go? He can piss off as far as i'm concerned, and any deal will HAVE to be one which can see the club pretty much build a quality squad. Tired of this defeatist small time attitude. Realistically, this is his FIRST season playing in the Premier League properly, and ASTON VILLA are as much responsible for Jack Grealish becoming who he is, as Jack Grealish himself. Where is OUR respect? What do WE deserve? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not gonna sell so it's a non issue, bit if we had to he'd go for way more than that. Harry Maguire is supposedly worth circa £80m! On the basis of that alone, Jack Grealish goes for a minimum of £100m. Also, its worth remembering that, if we do get relegated, we still hold all the cards. I don't buy this idea he would be worth less because he's our player and under a decent length of contract so we could play hardball and sell others to meet FFP before we let Jack go.
