Farlz Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'm already feeling quite confident that we'll keep hold of Grealish. I'm just struggling to see any club pay what we'll demand for him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund want €120 million which is about £109 million. If they pay that much, surely they won't have another £100 million to spend on one player. Then again FFP doesn't apply to them, the cheating scumbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillz Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Now that we have ensured another season in the PL, I think he is more likely to stay. 1) We won't need to money. Realistically it will cost £60m+ to even tempt us and i don't see clubs spending that much on him 2) I think many of the 'Top' teams are actually quite well off in his current position - particularly now United have started firing. My fear was that a mid level team like Everton, Burnley or Newcastle would come in for him if we went down, but by staying up i don't think the 'step up' would be big enough for him to uproot.

stewiek2 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If anyone thinks our fans are living in cloud cuckoo land when it comes to transfers then take a look at the Grealish thread on Redcafe. They really think he'll go there for around £30-40m. Someone even suggested a straight swap for Lingard and James! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't honestly see Villa entertaining an offer under £100 million and even then we don't want to sell. He is Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to send us Lingard and James then they'd have to make the bid about £180 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get 40 million plus and we add at least 20 million we can do some damage in the transfer window and could start next season stronger. £40 million?! Double that. That's what we'll be getting for Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to have the belief in his own ability that he can push past those players and get in the first team. Agreed, All players at this level should be backing their ability when going to a big club. It's easy to mock people like SIdwell and Drinkwater and Rodwell etc who got moves to bigger clubs and never made it. We can all say "They were never going to make it there" But any player worth their salt would have to see those kind of moves as huge opportunities and back themselves to improve and break into teams like that. it might not happen, but they have to back themselves to make the move and try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't think Man Utd need him now. Really hope the board can convince Jack that the Villa 'project' is about to go to the next level and to give it another year to see where we end up.

Palace wanted 80 million for Zaha last summer. I think we should be at least asking for that. However, my first choice would be replying to every transfer bid from a club with a video of Purslow wiping his ass with the paper that it is printed on. I said 40 million plus, so maybe around 50. Grealish and Zaha are not going for 80 million, not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not snapping at you Dan but he is worth at least double that and if he loves this club as much as he obviously does then I'm sure he would rather be remembered as Villa's greatest ever player then for winning some trophies at some other meaningless club. Take off your Claret and blue specs please. 80 million would put him in the top 5 transfers of all time, that really isn’t accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed up, we don't need to sell him, he's got a lot left on this contract, and you'd like to think the player won't be pushing for a move.

Alongside Harry Maguire... The market has changed hugely in the last few years. Old transfer records just aren't relevant any more. Joelinton cost £40m. That's the kind of fee you're suggesting for Grealish If Jack went for 40/50 million there would rightly be uproar from our fans.

He’s going to go regardless imo so I just hope we can get the best price possible, maybe 50 is more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack showed his colours when he disavowed allegiance to a country he had U-21 caps for and declared for a bigger team. He’ll be off, I think, and I can see our CEO accepting £45m. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
