TRO Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 12 minutes ago, useless said: I don't get all this talk about it being a choice between trophies with Man City or a statue outside the ground with us, the only way he'd get a statue outside the ground is if he won something like the league or European Cup with us, and even then I doubt it. People talk about Grealish as if he's the only good player we've ever had or ever will have. Its called exaggeration....but you are right. Right now, City are ahead of us, they need our best player, but we Need a team. I feel sure our owners will make the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has made 213 appearances, 96 of them in the top flight (none of them in his prime) with us. We are fortunate to support a club where you have to do far more to achieve legendary status than Jack has done. He isn't even close yet and it would be an insult to those who have achieved that status to put him alongside them. I thought creating that kind of legacy mattered to him. We are about to find out if it does. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Only way he'd get a statue is if he won a bunch trophies with us and he played a significant part in that success, he wouldn't get a statue just because he happens to be a very good player that stuck with us.

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I mean it's just an opening bid, right? No one accepts the first bid, hopefully we hold out for another 300-400 million 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Leaving at this point destroys his legend status with the club. He's just another good player who chose other things. I genuinely hope he doesn't achieve them because of the club he's going to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted July 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2021 I was told this morning he'd be going if City offered £100m. I'm not one for ITK tittle-tattle so you can take it or leave. Personally, I think he's gone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Hutton a legend then? Stayed with us even longer, played many more (top flight) games, helped get us up from the Championship, scored against the shit..... The word is bandied around far too much.

thunderball Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 There can't be a release clause, so you would think they would say no deal at any price but maybe next summer? Annoyingly, Man City put the kybosh on our last charge at top 4 under Learner. Now they are doing it now by taking our best player away. If we sell Jack we are bottom half team next season, its going to take much longer and more money to crack the top 6 even if Buendia fills Jack's boots.

If he does leave now after saying those words it will leave a really sour taste. Not a legend, I'm afraid. Legendary status is a really exclusive club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think my explanation is more plausible. You can ignore your twitter. You can't ignore the fact he had a photo of the banner 'my club, my city, super jack' being held up in front of it. The Grealish family know full well there will be a backlash, especially given the comments Jack has made in the past and the fact it's well known they're big Villa fans. It would have looked daft having that profile active if he goes to Man City - that's why he has deleted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa sell him for 100 mill, I am disappoint. Heavily. Anything less than £150m and it shouldn't even be a conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
