ThornburyVilla Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don’t think he will fit peps style at all, and could struggle, and he won’t be the big star up there. I also think we could be more balanced and stronger with three quality replacements. Even before his injury teams were working him out, and with threats from different areas I think we can be more effective and stronger. And if he continues to struggle with his shins then perhaps we could be cashing out at the right time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If it is true I bet those owners of ours will feel mightily let down. Real kick in the teeth as everything was geared up in their vision to be built around Jack. So much money pumped in just to have to lose the golden goose. Really hard to take after what were clearly just ‘soundbites’ from Jack in that contract video last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this could have an ending similar to " The Champ ". Buckets and buckets of tears. Not a single reputable reporter publication reporting a bid has come in from City. Unless you believe the Daily Heil to be reputable I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things - Until we know citeh have bid your question is irrelevant. Supposing they had bid, football agents are money whores who court interest via encouragement.

We as a club didn’t expect him to go, he’s tried to leave 3 times mate. His family are from Shirley they’re blinded by the millions dangled in front of them Now, I know for a fact that this is bollocks.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, you’ve missed a helluva load of controversy! Firstly, our club shop have ran out of the letter ‘E’ so you can’t have a Gralish shirt printed. Then a VT source from here saw a truck arrive at Maine Road at approx 1.00pm containing many letters for printing but what looked like an extra order placed for ‘E’ letters. We’ve therefore gleaned from today that he’s off. Bad times. Edited July 28, 2021 by ferguson1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If he goes then so be it, I'm a Villa fan not a player fan. I wouldn't wish anything bad on him as I'm a grown up but I certainly hope he/they don't win anything. Just for the record though, if you supposedly "love" your boyhood club (who are on the up) you would never leave. That's just my opinion though. He'll prob be a starter for England too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hard to take after what were clearly just ‘soundbites’ from Jack in that contract video last season. Yes and no. These guys have put a system in place that allows us to move forward if we lose personnel. And I don’t just mean players either. Smith is a head coach and if he leaves, they parachute someone else in to exactly the same set up without rewriting the whole rule book. That way, we’re never ‘starting over’. When it comes to Grealish, it’s no different. Will they be able to replace him with a player as good? Of course not, but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve. I’ve mentioned it before but we’ll have stats, data and scouting reports on every single player in Europe and around £120m to spend (after Bailey arrives). The goal won’t be to replace Grealish, it will be to sign 2/3 very good players to improve the team. A very good left winger, defensive midfielder and no.8 will probably see us in a better place than if we kept Grealish and signed nobody else. Obviously, the best option is if we keep Grealish, and go on to sign a defensive midfielder but that might not be possible with the wages he’ll cost and the lack of transfer funds. Chelsea won the Champions League without Grealish last year and Leicester won the FA cup without Grealish last year. A large part of this is because they don’t rely as much on an individual as we do - Grealish. Then there are the issues with his shins. I’ve had shin splints before and it isn’t so much an injury, more an ailment. It just affects you and could come back at anytime. It’s completely unpredictable and not as tangible as say, a broken leg. If he moves on, it might flare up again and he may miss 15 games next year.. Leicester are a great example to follow. Get your scouting right and you can build a team and a system that keeps ticking along every year, even if you lose a Kante/Grealish. We’re also a much bigger club than Leicester and our ceiling is higher so if we can pull off what they do, with the right scouting etc. then a day will come when players like Grealish are desperate to join us. I don’t want him to leave. It will probably be the toughest thing to take as a Villa fan in the last however many years, but the club, and us fans, need to see the opportunity amongst the despair. We will go on, and we can get better. More fool Grealish for leaving when Mings steps up to lift the FA cup next year. UTV 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
