Not to mention his own teammate Tammy Abraham starring alongside him. Yet he still signed that new contract. True, it might just be a constant drip of people talking about it to him. Who knows. He may well sign a new deal with us tomorrow and it was never in doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Honestly this thread has be purged whether he stays or goes. What club can we mock when we have a 100+ pages of posters. This is isn't Benteke leaving, which surely doomed us to eventual relegation. The recruitment/management team will roll on either way. They have shown us nothing but comptency since day one. UTV!

I'm not sure on the second point - Fergie was a control freak and there had been months of arguments with Beckham. Plus Man Utd had just won the league to were in a position of strength to make a decision like that. Plus i'd argue Jack is far more pivotal to us than Becks was for Man Utd (mainly because they were full of world class players like Scholes, Ferdinand, Veron, RVN, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 18 minutes ago, Xela said: 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 Yes I would be very disappointed too if Jack does a U turn on "The Project" he was sold on. My optimism/certainty that he'll stay pretty much hinges on this fact. Although no fault of Jacks I also feel a bit short changed on him missing a big chunk of last season because we might have achieved top six. His shins owe us one more season at least!! If we tread water this coming season or go backwards then fair enough would definitely not begrudge him a move elsewhere and would wish him all the best. But if he goes now, meh. That would suck big time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its time for us, to break that mould and build a more balanced team....without the one man team tag....just a thought. Maybe Dean too would be more comfortable with it.

Thug Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 12 minutes ago, TRO said: I would say to Man City, show us the colour of your money or shut the **** up.....and declare the reaction to the press. Right now, the club are caught in the headlights, I would like to see a strong response and more respect for the planning of our current campaign. I disagree TRO We should do no such thing. We should either declare he’s sold, a bid has been rejected, or that he’s signed a new contract. Nothing else. Its not our problem is people want to make up stories, and that other people are having meltdowns over it. Why should the board have to act on every single transfer rumour? You set a precedence and we’ll be expecting them to deny every rumour from now until eternity. It’s not my business, your business, or anyone else’s business. It’s between Aston Villa FC and Jack Grealish. Aston Villa should only make statements that benefit the club when made. Everyone else wanting information can go **** themselves (including the fans) The only people likely to suffer from not knowing are those wanting Grealish on their shirts. If the club put out a statement he’s 100% stating then they could be hit by refund requests. If he’s going, then I’d rather we sell a shitload of villa shirts first - rather than a bunch of baby fans know a few earlier? How on earth does it benefit any of us by knowing earlier? He’s either going to stay or go. Let’s see on the opening day of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
