Xela Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 What a draining situation. How dare a club outside the scum 6 have a great player. One thing that will definitely happen as a result of this saga is that my hatred of the tabloid press will increase. Absolute scum. Going on to Jack, I'd be disappointed if he left 10 months after signing a 5 year bumper contract and stating he was excited with the vision of the club. In that 10 months we have made real progress. Its not as if we have stalled, which might make him reconsider. We have made real strides. If @Fairy In Boots post is true, and he met Citeh pre Xmas, then that is 3 months after a new contract - that wouldn't look good at all. That being said, I can't see that being the case IMO. Hopefully his source has his wires crossed. I think the reason why people are more emotional on this transfer is because Jack is a Villa fan... he's the face of the club. He's the player our rebirth and rebuild is centred around. To lose that would be a hammer blow. He is probably the most marketable player in England now and quite rightly, we want him to stay and be part of our advancement. He's worth far more than £100m to us now.. i'd say double, taking into the image of him now and the possibilities that brings to the club. If he goes, he goes, the club survives and we move on and life continues... we've lost Platt and Yorke in the past and the sun still comes up the next morning. I did think after Jack's IG post yesterday that it was looking like he was staying... yet everyone seems to be on a downer today, which has soured my mood a bit! Regardless, we need to resolve it asap. Can't have this dragging on for another 7-10 days - the forum will be on fire! UTV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I just don't understand why he'd leave now, but stay last season. It makes no sense. Unless he was holding out for Man City and not United (which would be weird given that according to reputable sources aka teenagers on Twitter, he's a boyhood United fan). Last season it was "my club, my city" and "once I heard the owners' plans, I had to stay" etc. Did the owners' plans change in 10 months? If anything, we should be right on track. Can't wrap my head around staying after we nearly got relegated and then leaving when we're perfectly poised for a European place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 5 hours ago, Mat Kendrick's Dentist said: Every club "taps up". We will have agreed terms with Buendia (and everyone else we sign) before we agreed a transfer fee. It's the done thing. Agents and intermediaries find out if a deal is desirable for the player and buying club. Then negotiations begin with the selling club. That much is fact. What is unclear is the presence or absence of a clause in Jack's case. I believe there's a good chance that there is a clause, or perhaps a gentleman's agreement. But that's just my own opinion, based upon the journalists I trust, as well as my intuition regarding Jack staying last summer I would be very surprised, if there was not a clause.....as the threat of Jack leaving has been looming for some time....I kinda want to see and end to it, if I am being honest, its leaving me with a bad taste,now.

IMHO Why would city sign him early June and pay him over £2m in wages for 2 months when he wouldn’t be with them and could get injured playing for England? Makes sense to wait until start of august .

Popular Post lapal_fan Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm assuming most of the posters on here are past breast feeding age, but all I'm seeing is a lot of tit-suckling babies. If Jack Grealish leaves Villa this summer, we'll have broken some kind of record for fee received and FOR ONCE in my life as a Villa supporter trust the people in charge to invest that money back into the club sensibly. We've lost countless good players over the years and been fine. We have to lose good players eventually, as long as we get the best from the deal, that's what counts. If we sell Jack to Man City, it's not like we've "lost ground" on them in a title race, is it? We're no where near them with or without him anyway! As good as Jack is, I'd like to think we have the right management team in place to quite easily replace 5-8 goals an 6-10 assists a season player. We MIGHT become more balanced. We MIGHT sign someone who comes in and becomes our new hero. Whatever happens, happens. The post every 30 seconds with hear say, pure speculation and **** twitter journos is absolutely embarrassing. I'll thank Jack for some of the great moments of joy he's bought me, but wish him well. I'll be looking forward to this "project" we're on advancing, with or without him. Holy shit some of you need to chill out. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its precisely my feelings......I would be inclined to say take the money and run. We have some great youngsters coming up on the rails and Jack has missed large chunks of the last 2 seasons, how do we know his injuries might rear their ugly heads again.....cash in and jump off the carousel.

Stay away from those and you would be none the wiser apart from a few tabloid links. 99% of what is said in here and on Twitter is just noise (I include myself in that!).

Not to mention his own teammate Tammy Abraham starring alongside him. Yet he still signed that new contract.
