So either there is some serious foul play at work, or there is something we don't know. If it turns out there is truth to this i'll be well pissed off and look a right idiot for arguing with loads of fans online that we're not spending Jack money in advance, and that players are being brought in to play with Jack etc. Smith - Rowe for example, who is described as " Grealish esque " ? Is it that the club have wanted to keep it super quiet as to not scupper our plans to replace him without being fleeced etc? What's bothering me, is the certainty some of these publications are printing with. He's a top player -at a club who whilst moving in the right direction, aren't rubbing shoulders with the elite. The links are inevitable. Sure he might want to stay a hero at his boyhood club. Equally what man city can offer may well appeal - it would be foolish to suggest otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation is probably as Percy states it. - Villa don't want to sell - Villa are in contract negotiations with Jack - There is interest from Man City - City are prioritising a striker and have yet to speak to Villa in regards to Grealish 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This is tedious, I get it’s the nature of the beast, but Jack won’t be going anywhere this season, probably not next season either, probably not for his entire career (touches wood ).

So we agreed to sell him at the same time as he signed a new five year contract with us.

Ours have all the money in the world and a massive desire to take their club to the very top They will succeed because they want to.

Thug Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 40 minutes ago, hippo said: Of course it's a problem. His value depreciates as we eat into those 3 years. And that assumes Grealish remains 100% focussed in the interim. None of us want Jack to leave -but to dismiss the possibility as not happening is blind faith imo. He will single handedly raise the profile of our club by more than £100m worth in the next 4 years. With him we have a chance of champions league football, which will be worth the same or more again. £100m might sound like a lot, but it really isn’t. It gets you 2 Joelintons and a Solanke. I’d take Grealish for 4 more years (thanks @avfc1982am) and for him to leave for free over £100m now every single day of the week. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swing between elation he will stay and the signings are to compliment him then we are spending his transfer money in advance. My heart and part of my head tells me the first, the devil on my shoulder the latter. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social media manager will pump that up regardless. they wouldn't if the deal was done like the media are saying it is...not as much anyway. the obligitory tweets on matchday but that would be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst our owners are wealthy - they are also successfull businessmen. I wouldn't be sure they will let a £100m asset tick down into nothing. There's also Jack's aspirations to consider. I just don't see that situation festering on for 4 years if Jack does indeed want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could potentially piss more than a hundred mil up the wall over the next 4-5 years unless lucky with all our transfers. Or we could profit more than that flogging other players. Let him see out his contract if necessary. There is no value in selling him at all. Commercially or otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s IF we just said ‘no new contract, no sale, you got 4 more years bitch.’ But I can’t see Jack downing tools. He’ll prob get a contract which will put a smile on his face, and team mates to help him achieve his dreams here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercially or otherwise. this is what i'm struggling with, that folks are happy with 100m. the price of transfer targets goes up 20-30% once they know we have money to burn. all our advertising etc will revolve around him and we become less commercially appealling without him. we play fewer games on tv without him, which are worth 2-3m each on top of the bog standard tv money. it needs to be 150m for us to even contemplate it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
