Agent would review and simply pass to the player to sign on his phone. interesting point. i'm buying a house at the moment and not touched a pen yet. combination of the modern age and covid but there's a lot of electronic signing going on at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we knew this already. I just wish Villa would announce the new contract yesterday. Oh lucky us. I really hate how City just get what they want and everyone has to bow down. I hope they put in a £120m offer and NSWE show them that a team that finished 11th wont budge. Well that was my hope before Jack signed the new deal anyway.

The articles that wind me up most are the ones that say stuff like, “Man City will decide next week if they will sign Jack Grealish.” The media are still not listening. Time for NSWE to beat it into them with a wet ESR shaped fish. Probably Roe in his case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I've got a feeling in my bones that Jack is going to do something special in the final, assuming we get there. Mancini and Enrique are better managers than Southgate so I don't think we are favourites but if we can continue to Wolves it and keep it 0-0 with an hour gone, I just think Jack will make the difference.

It’s crossed my mind a couple of times those couple of almost worldies he scored this season one run from half way line against Leeds and the other against Burnely maybe? Can’t remember. I wondered if he’s saving another one of those for the next 2 games. Maybe just the stuff of dreams who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 An old uni friend who works in accounts for Nike, recons Jack is staying at Villa. “Just an informed opinion” as she claims. That was a nice catch up with an old friend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tougher the game the more likely Jack is needed. Just hope he gets a decent amount of minutes to do his thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2021 An old London flatmate of mine works for Fred Perry. He doesn't watch soccer, has no idea who Jack Grealish is and wishes I'd stop calling him. #ITK 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 To those wondering, "If there is a deal agreed, why won't they announce it?" I have no inside knowledge (I never lived in London, much less had a flatmate there), but I will say, from a PR perspective, it is very good for Jack to not have a deal announced. If/when a deal is announced, the next Speculation Target will get their turn on the wheel. Having his name in the press gets Jack more exposure: that gets him more deals, and that gets him more money and even more exposure. At the same time, not announcing the deal does no harm to Villa. So if everyone wanted to wait until end of Euros to make an announcement, there's no real blowback in comparison to the net positives it gets your best player. Might be worth doing for that sake alone, as getting him future publicity is also good for us. Take it for what you paid for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I agree with, depending on injury management. There's no point arguing over whether Foden or Sancho should be starting when Grealish is on the bench. The answer to Foden v Sancho is Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me if I want to fully enjoy the Euros I have to believe that Jack not starting is down to injury management. He’s the most talented and most effective attacking player in the squad. If there’s any other reason, other than managing his fitness then it can’t be a football one. So I chose to believe that Southgate is doing a good job and that benefits England, Jack and Villa, so I can enjoy watching England. Otherwise I’ll just be Mr Angry and not enjoy what potentially could be a great few days. Jack to come on and score the winner in both games please. Because I’m greedy, Tyrone to make an entry into the final and make a tackle to save an almost certain goal in the final minute. It’s a dream game why not dream. Jack signs his new contract leaning on Tyrone’s back during the post match interview. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
