They exist because there is a need for them, however much we as fans might dislike them. What needs to change is how they are remunerated and that's going to need the whole of footballers to come to some kind of consensus.

WallisFrizz Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 You see I listened to his comments and thought they were a respectful way of saying that the transfer chat could be revisited after the Euros ie if he is fit and sets the tournament alight. Also within minutes of this interview with his agent, Jack posts as Insta pic of him in red tracksuit with a blue bag next to him (cue loads of bed wetting comments from fans of Manc clubs). He’s not particularly bright but I do think he’s social media savvy and timed that very deliberately. Obviously he would have known that his agent had just been on tv talking about his future. What will be will be. I think unless he has an amazing Euros and can prove a return to form, I think he’ll be a Villa player at the start of next season. (I am hoping this doesn’t feature on the worst predictions thread in 3 months time). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No designs on seeking a move" eh? Why can't these people just use normal English and say what they mean instead of wrapping everything up in fancy meaningless words to make them sound clever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a statement like "Jack's just concentrating on his football and we'll see what pans out..." I would expect their headline to read "GREALISH AGENT DROPS HUGE HINT ON GREALISH TRANSFER" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedman Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 If we sell Jack to, say, Man City, I wonder if people would continue to post in here linking him to Real Madrid or Barcelona or PSG every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a big if now as firstly he has got to get back to fitness, then he has to get back to where he was, then be selected for the squad and then get picked in the team.

It's Your Round Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Anyway, good news is Jack will be back from his injury soon and we’ll get to see him play before the season’s out. He’ll hopefully go to the Euros and have a good tournament before returning fully fit for another season with Villa. Anything else is just make believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Interesting to hear Deano say Jack is definitely back in a Villa shirt this season. I'm almost surprised by it. We don't have too much to gain on having him back 2-3 matches compared to giving him more rest. Especially when he might have less rest during the summer.

I think playing for england and going to the Euros is so important for Jack. helping him achieve that while at Villa is massive. Its further proof that hes doesnt need to leave, i think Villa should do all they can to help him realise that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I actually thought Jack’s agent was basically saying “he’s a top player, I’d love to shift him at some point, but I can’t make him move, he loves Villa”. Pundits seemed to agree it’s something that won’t happen this summer. No pressure on Villa to sell, and Jack is still young enough to hang around at a non-CL club if that’s his long-term ambition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Six goals and ten assists in twenty-three appearances is out of this world and those stats only touch on what he brings. If it wasn't for his injury I think we'd be very close to where West Ham are now at least. After his last appearance against Brighton we were eighth just four points off fourth place with games in hand.

The Fun Factory Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I doubt he will play both Thursday and Sunday. Blimey the season is coming to the end now. Have we had the player of the season award yet? I would probably give to Martinez or Watkins given how many games they have started for us this season. Shout outs to Konsa and Cash as well.
