Same person failed to take a photo of the club shop to provide any evidence and as far as I can tell no one has checked if this is true by going in and looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Of course his agent will have been speaking to City. I have no doubt that he'd agree to Man City's terms because they'll be offering him a sh*t load of money. Terms won't be an issue for either Villa or City. It just depends which one he chooses now. I want it done one way or another this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair if Man City buy Kane for £160 million and Grealish for £120 million, we all may as well go find some other sport to support, it really shouldn't be aloud. They may need a striker to kick on, but they won the league again piece of piss, so to buy Grealish as well, when they don't really even need him, is just letting Man City control football. technically it's not, that's why there's FFP in place. shame it's not properly enforced.

Delph was just a decent player who didn't do anything significant for the club. Dragged us up to the Prem. Almost single handedly kept us in the Premier League. Had his greatest ever season in terms of stats last season to make us a mid table team. His mates in the England camp talking about winning the Champions League do you not think that will influence the man? If he is leaving because he wants to fight for titles and play Champions League football on the biggest stage I can't blame him. It's a short career and neither of those things is a realistic prospect at Villa anytime soon. in your opinion many of us believe the only way is up with these owners and it's perfectly plausible to think that we can absolutely win silverware and play in europe in the next couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's precedence for this its standard practice i'm afraid. you can shout and wave the rule book all you like but it happens in pretty much every transfer. city haven't directly spoken to jack, but they can speak to his agent. no rules against that. agent tells city "jack would want a 5 year contract at 150k a week if a deal gets accepted by villa" city reply "yes that would be fine" that equates to "terms agreed". even though they've not directly spoken to jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right, the only difference being that Jack will help us get their faster. That’s why I never believed Villa’s line that we’d have a quiet summer, if we match his ambition there’s far more reasons to stay than leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might I really, really hope it does. As a club, they're a disgrace and they've gotten away with murder over the last ten years. UEFA/FIFA/FA, whoever, needs to throw the book at a club (Man City) to show other clubs that you can't just simply break the rules and get away with it. They should be handed a lengthy transfer ban or be disqualified from European competitions if they're found guilty of illegal behaviour. The problem the authorities have with some of these clubs is that their owners are so powerful and rich that they're scared to actually do anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
