il_serpente Posted August 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2020 2 hours ago, It's Your Round said: I’ve just read a story at metro online entitled ‘what Grealish will tell Villa’ or something like that. It says that he will have showdown talks with Purslow and tell the club not to ‘stand in the way of his dream move to United’. It claims he’ll get £200k a week and that he doesn’t want to be a ‘victim of his own success’, if he’s ‘forced’ to stay at Villa after keeping them up. They may as well have added ‘sources believe that the lifelong United fan will hand a transfer request in to the shitty little club, Aston Villa, he has already bought a house in Manchester, widely known as the best city in the world’. Click bait rocket polishers Get your lingo right. It's CRUNCH talks, according to all the rags. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Honestly if Jack came in here and had to choose a song that would suit this thread, I certainly think this would be it. Edited August 13, 2020 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think losing him now will be as losing Benteke and Delph by then. We had some good players but without the spine and main goalscorer we had the worst season. If we lose Grealish I think we'll have a season similar as last one, with a danger of going down. I don't think that's the right message. We need to keep him for another season with a hope that 3-4 players which we get can step up and build a squad out of them. It would be easier to replace by then. But who'd know? we might start moving up the table and another cup run which might lead us to Europe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re going to put an £80m price tag on him that’s how much £80m players get paid. We can’t have it both ways... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the first winger I found bought for £ 80 million and Nicholas Pepe is reported to have a wage of 105 k.

It’s not, he is our best player by a mile and should be paid accordingly like he would at a top 3 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football punditry in the UK is a disgrace. The whole industry is a retired footballers benevolent fund. Any opinion they might have is formed on the basis of whether they'll be invited back again, so they'll either only say what people want to hear, or if you're Keane or Savage: be as provocative as possible. Then you're into the big bucks. According to the pundits Villa's only real value to the Premier League this year was to give them players to link with Man Utd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 As long as a player leaves his future undecided, the rags will print stories like this. Just something we’ve got to accept. If Dortmund really are keeping Sancho, then United may lose their nerve and offer big money for Jack. Personally I think Jack can be placated with some good signings and a pay rise. But could also leave... Also reckon these journos know absolutely **** all about which of those two things is going to happen, and are speculating just as we are.

theboyangel Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Putting ego front and centre, ManUre have prioritised Sancho as their number 1 target and Solskjaer stating Jack wouldn’t be a starter anyway. surely, if the Sancho deal falls through and they start to make noises towards Jack, he may feel a bit put out he wasn’t their first choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"they'll never want you as much as we do" we can say. but i don't see it putting jack off moving there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
