I did say yesterday, Keane hates most humans, so if he praises you, you must be doing something right. Then again, he's probably known him as a kid from when he was here as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a potential risk for other teams that may lower the price they would be willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6-25 is the majority of his life but thats semantics. Next summer he will nearly be 27, so yes he will be near full potential and have 3 years at the top top level. Thats my opinion. Doesn't make me less of a Villa fan because I have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the post match posts are about how shite he played That's because there was a moment when Jack was trying to play a couple of quick one two passes which didn't work out and went to the opposition. Because of that his passing is a liability so hes been written off. Absolutely thick as mince! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 To be fair, plenty of this thread over the last 20 hours has been about how last night wasn't his best performance. But hey ho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Purslow says we don't do release clauses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very patriotic irishman. So is upset that grealish chose England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 With a bit of luck we win the Euros. Jack has a trophy so that one cant be labelled at him, then he can fully concentrate on signing the lifetime contract and taking us to the glory we and he deserves at club level. Jack Grealish is our best chance at getting to where the owners want, they know it, we know it. I hope they are giving him yearly golden handshakes off the books and no one can ever sign him. The end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1980s called and it wants it's football back. Players don't need to be put out to pasture at 30 anymore, minimum 2 years at their peak, for Jack's generation possibly more. What were the outliers of the previous generation, Maldini, Giggs, Pirlo, Ronaldo, Buffon etc. etc. will be far more normal in this generation.

A lot of people seem to know what Jack is thinking but none of us do. I think we all want him to stay but he has to do whats right for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely **** bizarre. Not " I could see why he would want to go " or " He will probably go " but, he SHOULD go... wtf??! Absolutely spot on.

Grealish is 25 and already breaks down each season. Whilst players can certainly go on longer their maximum ability tends to be around 27-31.

PaulC Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If he does stay at Villa we have to be less reliant on him and with his injury problems he cant do what he has been doing for over the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing no holding midfielders behind them to complete the puzzle when you had unbelievable deep lying playmakers like Carrick and Scholes at disposal was the true tragedy for England. As easy as that. Where were you when needed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
