Nigel Posted June 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2021 Just now, MrBlack said: Assuming they're doing this after the euros, there is no way they'd accept anything. His value playing for us will massively outweigh any cash they can offer us, and I don't think they could afford much more than 100m anyway. We couldn't use that money to buy a replacement that is as good, and it sets our stall out as one of the also rans. I think there will be a clause, its normal for any player, but I think it is going to be considerably higher than what someone is likely to be able to offer for him, and Jack isn't kicking up a fuss to move this season (or probably any season I'd have thought). All moot points really. Jack's playing for us next season. I agree on all.....but you are not playing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think that because he has potential persistent injury issues, that will put off any massive bids for him even if he does well in the euros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, no one is spending £100-120 mill on a player that has to ice his shins after 70 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Indigo said: From the outside looking in (aka not being English) I find this narrative absolutely baffling. There seems to be this idea that Grealish and Foden are simply incapable of being direct or getting beyond the striker if he's to drop short. We've seen several Grealish goals this season alone come from him getting in behind the defence and capatalising on through balls from McGinn, even Saka's goal last night came courtesy of Grealish making a run into the box, and himself and Foden are two of the most direct players in the league in terms of progressive carries, carries into the box, etc. It's bemusing to see, they are both incredible talents and if anything would compliment each other as much as anything else. I too, don't see Grealish as the same as Foden or Mount.....They are more direct for me, slightly different...Phil is just fast, lacks the varying speed Jack adopts, its like all or nothing. Jack draws players, he carries the ball better than most, and his slide rule passes, plays the direct players in. He arguably has the most gifted weighted passes of all his contemporaries...my first touch would look ok, receiving a ball from Jack. I see Jack as a team mates dream, where he can play in tight areas and win fouls by giving the team a breather and gaining territory, to release pressure on the defence.....He can play that slow, quick slow game that baffles opponents. I just worry about the stick levels he is now attracting, more than ever. His sharpness, is just about to return....He could have a wonderful tournament....fitness permitting.

pas5898 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Unless we have a crazy good season, Jack should go next year. Probably with the blessing of the club and the majority of the fan base for a fair amount. He should be playing in Champions league finals, not in the European conference league (which is probably our aim next year) .

" A player who has given his life to the club" You make it sound as if we kidnapped him in Angola and he grew to love us eventually, against his own will. He is 25 years old, you make it seem like he is 33 and deserves a final pay day. The club has also GIVEN LIFE to Jack Grealish. I don't care if you were born in the Centre Circle at VP, your view is bizarre and not conducive to wanting what is best for the club. " Given his life " ... the dramatics.
