Like with anything, let’s see how the club respond. Just because we didn't hire Henry doesn't mean it wasn't close. You're massively in denial and it's childish. Let's just wait and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 So in the last half hour, Grealish (well his team) are deleting his cmon United tweets now lol. What a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'd be very surprised if we accepted, seeing as we're 2 weeks out from the season starting. Time is against us to find a replacement first of all. Most importantly though, Grealish is a CL level player, and at the moment I don't think we're quite ready to attract another player of that calibre just yet...

To keep him Bucks had to go all in as most teams do to keep their superstars. Giannis saw that and signed an extension worth ~260 million Just one thought, 100 mill sterling is not funny money to our owners. Hopefully they don't give a shait about the British transfer record or anything like that. Wes has seen what Giannis did. Does he let Jack leave? Americans (especially in basketball) love superstars.

As a football fan I will still enjoy and follow him destroy the best players in Champions League. If he goes there it'll be devestating for the Premier League. City walked to that title last year. If Grealish joins them then that's basically a title decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crap summer this has been. Hang in there, this isn’t over… Even if the worst happens, yes we may suffer a short term setback, but I’m sure NSWE will strengthen us and make us more competitive. I don’t expect Jack to leave… let’s see how things pan out. Just because a bid has been placed, that doesn’t mean it will be automatically accepted… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The bid doesn't mean anything other than putting the ball in our court. Let's see how the club reacts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) We will know shortly if the talk about NSWE taking us to the next level with us signing all of these players such as Buendia to play alongside Jack with the aim of us pushing on as a club was true or not.

He's the most reliable out there pal. Sky saying no bid yet but they aren't exactly percy level. If its a first bid it will be rejected and maybe no bids will be at all and Jack commits to us.

Yeah you know me so well.... You know we have many fans on VT who go across to other fan forums and talk with them. I think it's great so long as our fans are being respectful when they go chatting on another's forum. I've see over the past few days KVillan on Bluemoon getting some shit but he has actually continued being respectful despite how some City fans have been with him. We don't have to be like hateful fans towards other hateful fans. I remember before I signed to the Leicester fan forum and how many hateful comments there were towards us the moment Jack was back lasts season, I decided to go have a chat with them and they were fantastic then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crap summer this has been. I wouldn't be disappointed with the club if they fully intend to reinvest every penny to make us a much better team. I'd be absolutely sickened by Grealish deciding to walk away when he was around to see the impact when players like Barry and Delph made the same jump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 12 minutes ago, AVTuco said: Giannis was at the end of his contract, so he was free to leave anywhere. Wes and co went all in, gave him the supermax deal and stripped the club from any valuable draft picks and got Holiday to give enough support to Giannis. It was a huge achievement and Wes was in the middle of it. I trust he'll play this one right too. Not a direct one to one comparison. The NBA has it setup that the original team can offer more years and a higher salary than competing teams for a player. This is the exact opposite Jack can get far more money from Man City than he could ever dream of here. The NBA forces a much more level playing field and doesn't allow teams like a City to just hoover up talent. Maybe the Prem should think about doing the same, otherwise deals like this will continue to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
