markavfc40 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) If we stay up then I am very confident he would give us at least another season. This season would have been another season of progression and big step in the right direction. In the summer we'd be looking at bringing in 5 or 6 players not the twice that we had to bring in last summer. I also think the players we have would be stronger for their experiences this season and next season further realise the undoubted potential many of them have. I think Jack would want to be a part of that and a part of the club looking to progress in to the top 10 and then who knows how far we could go. None of us know what his thoughts are. Whether he'd value more captaining Aston Villa in the top flight and looking to secure European football and compete in more cup finals over the next 2-3 years or if he'd want a better shot at trophies elsewhere. Who knows he may even be our Le Tissier, Totti, Shearer who values playing for the club he loves above all else.

useless Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If we stay up I think he'll stay, as not many clubs will be able to afford him and those than can will also be able to afford better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is suggesting we should just let Jack leave, or that we should bend over, or that the club shouldn't do everything it can to keep him. If you agree with that then what's your point?

striker Posted February 18, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) In another year or so I can see him moving back a little into centre of midfield for Villa just like Milner did, that is if Villa stay up and he stays? Grealish reminds me so much of Cowans in his control and weight of pass or indeed a former Everton magician called Duncan MacKenzie.

Grealish reminds me so much of Cowans in his control and weight of pass. I honestly think we are only seeing half of what Jack is capable of because he doesn’t have the players around him. At times we see flashes from Targett and Luiz (and now Samatta) where Grealish is able to link up at speed and you feel like you’re watching a proper top drawer side take a team apart. But it’s just flashes at the moment. Most of the time the gulf in class is very obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real entertainer in the Stan Bowles mould. Grealish reminds me of McKenzie too. I think you’re right in saying that with better players around him Jack would be even better but hopefully he’ll get that in the summer if Villa stay up?

We need 2 or 3 top quality players next summer if we have a prayer of keeping him. Tielemans type signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 In the summer we need a new midfield. Its where we lose games. I like our players, and I believe they'll grow into better players, but if we want to jump the league's and bypass the lower half teams, we need people who can accept a ball under pressure and make the right pass or decision (ala jack). A better forward would also go a long way. LW, RW, CM, ST. Get good acquisitions and we'll look good. First we gotta stay up, then we can add quality around Jack (ffp allowing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This will all be null and void after our 7 match win streak anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think we should persuade Simeone to come and be part of the coaching staff. That would tempt Jack to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think that if we stay up he will stay. Just like Zaha last summer, its not easy to get such a move especially with the English tax. Probably only 3 teams can afford him in England and thats City, Liverpool and United 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team would pay the asking price for Zaha and I could see the same happening with Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I agree with you that Jack doesn’t necessarily have to leave to find those players - a good summer transfer window could go a long way to fixing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 My concern was largely if we get relegated he definitely goes. Don’t haVean issue there. My concern which popped into my head was we couldn’t keep Milner when we were doing well and he moved on to City. will our survival be enough to keep Jack despite his deep rooted love for the club?
