Keyblade Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Whatever Jack can accomplish at City this season, he could do it next year or the year after that. But it's not every day you can help Villa get back into Europe, which looks like a very serious proposition this year. Get a nice pay rise in line with your mates at England, and give it a right good go this season. If we fail to get in, fair enough, by all means, I'm sure City will be there for you next summer as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think he may just go. Top tier really is a closed shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 In his interview for England. His dream is to win the Champions League.... I love Villa but I can't see that happening with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hopefully we are offering him a new £200k per week contract to stay with some gentlemen’s agreement he can leave next summer if a certain fee is offered… Gives us one more year to crack the top 8 then reassess next summer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Well it's pretty obvious we'll have to make Europe next season if we want to keep him and probably europa league won't be good enough. This guy needs to play in the ucl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 On this positive sign, I did watch the Kane interview from a month or so back. He obviously wants to win things as well, but said he's only 27 and still sees himself as only being halfway through his career with how long he wants to play for. Jack can play for a long time with his style, it's the pace merchants that can really drop off once that goes. Hopefully he looks at things the same way and we get another year, we must get Europe this season if he does stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to say the "with Villa" as that takes away some leverage with his new contract. His answers will always be deliberately ambiguous for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 We knew before that interview that it was his dream to win the champions leagues, it's every players' dream to win the champions league. I've made the best point so far, and that's that Man City won't pay what we're asking for, so the transfer won't happen, only thing that might complcate things is if Grealish himself makes a big deal about wanting to leave and trys to force a move, but I seriously doubt he will do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Reading way too much that comment. He said CL or WC/Euros. Standard answer, biggest prize in club football. Also said his idol was Gabby, and he had been speaking to him today with a cheeky grin. It was just a bog standard interview. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the read into, the bloke said he wants to win the Champions League. He didn't say FA CUP or PL. He said he wants to win the CL. Thats fine saying that if you're playing for Chelsea or Liverpool but when you play for Villa that ain't happening in atleast 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to say I dream of playing in the euro conference league with spurs, he'll want to win the best trophies available that always has to be the aim, hopefully that's with Villa, but serious continued progress needed next season to convince him.

True. Also Purlow has managed the narrative today by suggesting he's been offered the world with an 'ambitious' Villa and if he wants to go he has to turn that down.

VillaAlex Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It's interesting, if I was a Premier League footballer I'd rather become a legend at the club I love than win trophies with a team I have no affection for. The only key difference otherwise would be money, but there isn't going to be a massive difference there. Its not like he's a regular player either he's one of the few where you can show how much he loves his boyhood club. Alan Shearer is another he loves Newcastle although he at least won something before joining them. Then there is Totti of course, John Terry and our very own Ian Taylor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Well been on the road all day today listening to this speculation on Talk Shite. Went from Jim White saying Man City have tabled a £100 million offer and he is as good as gone. To Man City are going to offer £100 mil for Jack Grealish after the Euro's. To be honest I don't think the board would let him go for that measly sum. Although not sure if it was Townsend saying a club like Villa could not refuse 100 million for jack. Obviously don't know Villa anymore, bloody mug!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If he wants to win the Champions League why would he join a club who have shown themselves to be entirely incapable of winning it, despite being freely granted everything they could possibly need to do so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
