You should never be confident about anything in football, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. How confident are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is any club going to pay £100m+ for a player who is historically only available 60-70% of the time? Plus this injury he has right now would be a huge red flag for me, if I was looking at it from a business perspective. There are probably better and safer ways to spend that cash. And someone who is prone to shin splints will get them again if they aren’t careful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves to be playing on the biggest stage and let’s be honest that’s not happening with Villa. Yes, he loves the club but he’s given his all for us and he is probably thinking I’ve got the world at my feet and could play for anyone in the world. What the point in staying any longer. Which clubs though? There's only a handful that can afford him, maybe 2 or 3 in England and 1 in France, and I can't see any of them paying what we would demand. I've always been of a mind that if Jack wanted to go, I would let him go for a reasonable figure and wish him all the best. But it isn't my decision. Our owners are well within their right and I would expect them to say no to anything but an obscene amount of money. As for Jack, he signed a 5 year contract only 9 months ago and the club has progressed and will continue to look to progress, so he has no legitimate grounds for complaint. I would be astonished if he kicked up a stink and tarnished his legacy here. I'm not saying it's impossible, but just based on what we know the chances of him leaving this summer are very slim indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintpotvilla Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Facts are Jack won't push for a move from his beloved Villa, there's no chance NSWE want to sell him and in this climate there is virtually no-one that could afford him. Result Jack's going nowhere - at least not this summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 £100m for Jack is a bargain. We'd be stupid to let him go for that. £200m is his current price. He's an elite footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Claret and Blue podcast earlier in the season someone said negativity is an inherent Brummie trait. Hard to argue reading comments often on here 3 hours ago, jim said: Going against the grain here, but I think he will leave this summer. No idea where but I don’t have the confidence of some who are convinced he’s going nowhere. So it's true about the negativity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
