bannedfromHandV Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It’s obviously a slow sports news day so they put some vague crap out about Grealish to keep people opening the app etc. However, realistically it’s got to be 50/50 whether he’s here come the end of this transfer window, may well be dependent on how he does at the Euro’s and how he starts the season (if still here come PL kick off) too but it must be a tough decision for him. Stay at the club you love, who are seemingly on an upward trajectory but still, finished 11th in the second season back in the top flight, or, join the reigning English champions, the European cup runners up, a team who haven’t lost a league cup game for 4 or more years and who will always have a decent shot at winning the fa cup. Add to that the chance to play under one of the most highly regarded managers in the game and alongside quality like De Bruyne. It goes without saying I hope he stays, but if you look at it objectively, it’s a toughie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Does it count if the player went out on loan, as Jack has obviously played for Notts County? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how ambitious you are, or what you can offer, players want to play at the very top and win things regularly. We've won the league and FA cup recently, have billionaire owners, great facilities and pay good money... but if a big clubs, bid massive money, players will by eyeing that up. There is only so long you can fend off offers like this, that is the reality. It's down to the player, if he wants out then in the end you are better off just cashing in, because the second he's looking elsewhere they will lose an edge. The key is using that money wisely, it's not about replacing HIM. It's about improving 3 or 4 areas, so that you improve as a team. Losing Kante and Mahrez was massive and we've never replaced them as players. But we replaced Danny Simpson with Ricardo, Okazaki with Maddison etc. Be nice to see a player say no, I want to stay at my boyhood club. But it's a rarity. Same bet applies mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll do just nice for me. That's just silly. You want a player to start dictating to management and board about who we sign. I used to abhorre Liverpool fans who were on Gerrard's nuts night and day. It's here too. Not the point about him staying, absolutely want him to stay. It's the " end of the world " stuff if he doesn't that bugs me. And I'll say it, i wouldn't want Jack here if he felt he was made stay here or he's doing us a favour. That's dangerous and can divide more than unite a dressing room. This is the first serious bid that's going to come in for him. And it's going to come from what we are hearing. If he shows any doubt or hint he wants away and the valuation is met, let him go. We need to always protect the club and its interests. You can drag the arse out of the boyhood club stuff all you want. Elite players want to play in elite competitions. Villa are not where City are. We are showing ambition for sure but we are behind them. Let's be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I heard Southgate leaked it to press, gives him an excuse “his heads not right” Jack stays, surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played for other clubs before rejoining them. Damnit Not really, there's a wiki page on it You've got Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Tony Adams, Jack Charlton, Ledley King, Lev Yashin, Rogerio Ceni. And then still active players there's Messi, Muniain, Koke, Akinfeev, Busquets, Muller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he seems not good enough. You could go Puyol as he used to play there and put someone like Tony Adams as Cb. For RW would be Messi if he stays. No Iniesta or Xavi as they both played for other clubs after leaving Barca. Gerrard play for LA galaxy. Raul played for Schalke. Iker Casilla played for Porto. Reus can play he won't leave dortmund imo Did Jack Charlton stay at Leeds? If so him CB, Puyol RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Let's see where Villa Talkers are at .... Will Jack still be a Villa player on September 1st. A simple yes or no will do. Yes from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless you already have an idea of who would be in the team you can't really filter through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yep. Will be here come September 2022? Depends on the season ahead. If he is going to leave it will be in the next 2-3 years as he will be at his peak physically wise, and transfer value wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u remember Yorke sulking and strolling around the place on the first day of the season against Everton because Ellis wouldn't let him go to United ? Do you want that scenario ? Very easy to say " Well Jack wouldn't do that, boyhood club etc " I don't think the boyhood club stuff has as much significance for him at 26 than it did when he was breaking into the team, became captain etc. He's a professional elite level footballer who wants to win things. Again im looking at this through the lens of objectivity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
