Tomaszk Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Next week no good actually. If he's off, go tomorrow please so we know where we stand and can plan for the season. I keep thinking there must be a buyout if City are so confident. Why on earth would we accept a bid below £250m? If there is a clause, and he wants to go, why is he here? Unless the club know already and have asked him to wait a week or two to get some signings in. It'll be much much easier to get top players through the door if Jack is still here IMO.

Before x-mas Jack, his dad, his agent & David Manasseh (Stella ) met Txiki & Pep in London and talked about a deal, £300k p/w and Jack has a £100m buy out clause (we would value more but that's the clause, new contract doesn't have one) Villa only play left is to offer a contract but Villa don't know about how much city have offered so we will offer around 200k Also, would that not be classed as "tapping up"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 7 minutes ago, Dave-R said: Jack goes then it will only be some other players turn after because the media and rumours just never stop. It makes no difference whether Jack stays or leaves because whether he's here or not won't stop all the nonsense. It will be Watkins after Grealish that gets all the attention most likely every talked about club goes through this, part and parcel of being in the premier again and becoming a well known club once more.. Don't disagree Dave, every player can have his day in the sun......but this is every season, with Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there is no evidence that I can see that any of our recruitment team, Purslow, the manager or the coaches are doing anything other than planning for the start of the season. hope you are right...just my thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the bottom line. We can't progress if we're going to cave in and flog our best players year after year and continue to be a feeder club. The only exception is if the board thinks the money generated will allow us to make the team better. Jack is a unique situation in this regard as 100m is alot (not enough in my opinion though! ).

sne Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Jack is obviously exceptional but it's pretty clear us fans are not used to Aston Villa having a player that other teams are interested in paying money for to sign. Benteke was 6 years ago... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) 21 minutes ago, av1 said: If Jack wanted out and City had the money for this apparent buy out clause he’d be gone, because there would be absolutely nothing the club could do about it. He isn’t going anywhere Why would city buy him in June pay him over £2m in wages for not being there and gamble £100m on him possibly getting injured on international duty - makes perfect sense to wait until players report back for pre season especially at that sort of fee with the player being involved in an international tournament . City usually do their dealing in pre season not the close season . Edited July 27, 2021 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Keyblade said: 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. I think he will stay but the recurrence of the shin injury might just have had an effect on both his and the club's thinking this summer. If it's something that he will have to manage the rest of the career and can't play more than 30 league games a season, being offered £150m might just be tempting. Also with a World Cup coming up, Jack's pretty frustrating experience at the Euros might make City look more inviting than moving last season.
