It's not like he's going to be sold at the price City or whoever set as they come in with there first bid. City come in with 100, oh yeah let's just take the first thing that's offered, let's not even barter or price them out completely so a deal can't be done for Jack, just be happy with what they offer us is the message it seems. All this media rubbish has got many of you panicking so much that all of a sudden it's like we don't have NSWE, Purslow or the team that has been built at Villa. It's like your living from days old and have not got to grips with these ace people who are in charge of Villa and really have done an ace job since arriving. I have merely reported what Gabby said. I have no opinion either way as to whether it will happen or not, but it's definitely possible. People who think otherwise are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkVillan Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Should we be worried? The reliable Daily Express who know Jack so well, reporting Pep keen to secure Jack who, I quote "Grealish has mostly played in a central role at Villa but will likely fit into a left-wing position at City." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no opinion either way as to whether it will happen or not, but it's definitely possible. People who think otherwise are wrong. That quote from Gabby seems a little out of context, It’s no surprise that clubs like City are after him but Agbonlahor believes Villa hold the aces in this situation and should not let him go cheaply. “I think he’s worth more. I’d say £120m,” Agbonlahor told The Sports Bar. Villa are a club on the up but losing Grealish would be a big step back, unless they invested very well afterwards “From a Villa point of view, he signed a five-year deal last summer. Villa’s owners don’t need the £100m – they’re loaded, they don’t need the money. “They want to improve the squad. What losing him would mean for Aston Villa, they would want to be compensated for at least £120m. “I’m looking at Harry Kane, he’s been at Spurs for so long. £120m is probably the right price for him as well. “How many chances did Jack Grealish create last season? He was up there with top three, top four assists and he missed half the season. City are also thought to be interested in signing Grealish’s England teammate Kane. “He’s 25, how much did Kai Havertz join Chelsea for? How much did Philippe Coutinho leave Liverpool for? “Man City have got the money, of course they have. Aston Villa will probably say ‘if you’re going to have him, it’s going to cost you, it’s going to cost you big time.’ “He deserves to play at that level but I’ve got my Villa head on and I don’t want him to go. You think Daniel Levy is going to make it easy for Harry Kane to leave? He’s going to want his full dough before he goes anywhere. “If the money’s right the deal will happen. I think Jack will want to go, he’ll want to play under Pep but the money’s got to be what Aston Villa want.” I think villa will hold firm, and Jack would be interested in going but won't force the issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Tayls said: If Jack was to go to city, it would be difficult to not be completely done with football. He has turned into the player he has by staying with us until now, and then suddenly Man City come along, basically say “good job, we’ll take it from here” then off he goes and they can be rewarded for creating a global star. The whole thing would just disgust me. Honestly, what would be the point? We finally try and get somewhere but we are prevented from doing so by the Super League clubs. Don't tell certain fans that mate. According to them, he " deserves " or " needs " to leave for the own good of his career. He is " too good " for us. They want to see him achieve his dreams. It's quite bizarre to me, I feel exactly the same way as you, and some might call it selfish, I don't see it that way. Pumped up as " Villa through and through " yet jumps ship to the shiny toy, at the moment we are finally on the way to trying to achieve things? As if Villa haven't nurtured him, coached him, given him the platform to become the player he is today, whilst making him filthy rich in the process? I'd actually be hurt, and in my view it would sicken me that Jack would be essentially " selling out ", while hurting us, and enhancing the " evil " monopoly.

What was the dealaround 240 million dollars, what that work out to in our currency these days about 210 million pounds? I'm pretty sure if they felt Jack was worth keeping and gains of European football or a higher league position are likely all through the help of Jack staying about then they will throw whatever money they need to if they have to to keep Jack safely at VP. I don't believe for one minute any club could bully our Owners, let alone prize him away, the only thing thatfinidhes Jack at Villa is if he says he wants to leave and I don't believe he will yet or in the new few years. One thing stick out to me, why would you bloody signed a new contract, a five year one only to up and leave before the following season starts, you just wouldn't unless things went south big time. American sports and football are not ran the same way. It's just not comparable. It's oddly much harder to force a move in American sports. Here all Grealish does is say I want to leave and that's it. Then it's just a matter of haggling on price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is just to much, way more that says he's staying compared to him leaving. I certainly don't think anyone would sign a new 5 year contract only to then go and leave before the next season comes in, especially when we're making progress in who were bringing in to accompany Jack for next season. I could imagine that everyone at Villa in charge is laughing at all this in the media, because the media in this country is full of shit. UK media somehow always make everyone feel as though they have the insider info on big moves and were going to lose our best player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish if he was turned down a move as well would just get on with it and continue life at Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 1 hour ago, DaveAV1 said: Yes I’d say we are but getting those players to join us is more difficult without him. Selling Jack sends out the wrong message. Imagine we buy those players and keep Jack. Book The Town Hall! An Aston Villa that can build that kind of team, is the type of scenario that worries the “big six”. And Arsenal. 4 unknown quantities in this league out of 5. Big risks. Doesn't make for a better team. Ask spurs after they sold bale,.of we got those players wrong. If Grealish goes we would somehow have to replace him. If we get it wrong back to the relegation battle we go. And again I'm not being negative, i think that's relatively realistic and honest. Taking the claret and blue specs off.

HalfTimePost Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If Gabby spoke to him yesterday (as Jack said in the England interview) and is saying on TS today that he'll want to go then it's happening imo. Gabby talks a load of shit and I don't really like the guy but I don't think he'd do it with Jack and Villa at this point. I think he wants to go and has probably spoken to Jack to see how much he's allowed to say On the radio without frustrating Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
