No way they'd agree to anything less, and no way Jack would demand one, but its the norm for most footballers to have one these days I doubt it mate. I could see it being around 100 million...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Has a 5 year deal ever been signed with this much instant speculation immediately after? It’s ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The interest will never really go away and the 5yr deal doesn't massively affect whether or not he leaves. If he wants to go, we'll struggle to keep him, it will come down to whether UTD want to give us 100-150m for his services. The contract was just a massive payrise for Jack and it protects our asset. There may well have been a conversation during that contract negotiation whereby Jack says, 'We need to show progress and if we're not in x position at the end of the season, I want to leave'. All I'm trying to say is Jack could leave us. I don't think its cut and dried that he stays. If we take our bias away, you have one of the best players in the world, a pin up footballer playing for Aston Villa, a midtable club. How long can he resist the pull and how long can we match his ambition? If he does stay, he'll be the greatest player to have ever played for this club. Not just because of his ability, but because a player that would walk into any team in the world decided to stay with us during some dark times and fought to get us back where we belong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Zatman said: How long did Delph sign for Delph's contract situation in 2015 was drastically different as he was out of contract that summer and couldn't risk losing him on a free which probably explains the mesely £8m relese fee. We are lightyears ahead of the Lerner years with our current owners thankfully. Edited January 7, 2021 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MentalM Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I hope fans have learned the lesson from the condescending words from in particular United fans towards us regarding Grealish. "He should leave Villa, small club" "everyone would love to join United since we are the bigger club". Can we please not be douchebags towards other teams? Be respectful towards everyone (not bluenoses). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Jack has repeatedly said he doesn't want to leave. He clarified that as long as we're showing progression he wants to stay. A top half finish this year, a decent investment next summer and he's going nowhere. If by next jan we don't look like making Europe, that's when he might start wanting to leave, but for now and for this summer he's going nowhere.

Popular Post wilko154 Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 Jack mentioned in an interview at the start of the season that we are aiming for between 12th and 8th this season. We are on course to achieve if not better that. I would highly doubt he is planning to leave after signing a 5 year deal if we finish within the plan. This season so far has been a revelation, we so far look to be ahead of the plan in terms of where the club is at after signing 5 players. I truly believe the owners plans are HUGE! The next two summer windows are likely to be some of the most exciting transfer windows in this clubs history. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must Utd “fans” these days are like Liverpool fans in the 80’s they supported the side that wins the league every year and now they are a mix of not liking the idea of supporting a failing team and belief that Utd have a devine right to be top of the league and pick any player they like. They don’t really understand football Just the little Utd bubble they live in. Probably the type that wanted VAR because the only thing that matters is the right decision not the entertainment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be more than that for sure, £100M is about what we’d probably sell him for if we were open to doing so. A release clause (non-conditional) would usually be crazily higher than market value to compensate for the fact that the transfer would be undesirable for the selling club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
