The intermezzo would be a beautiful soundtrack true. If Jack stays he may set a precedent for clubs like to say no more, no more letting the gap grow between the elite and the rest of society but sadly it feels like a war that cannot be won. I hope I'm wrong as football has lost its soul and needs to get it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - sadly as discussed in other threads it will probably take a huge cataclysmic event to change football now (& many other things in society) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only fair as clearly the club don’t want to sell. Is his loyalty bonus a % of the transfer fee or just a set figure? If its the % you can guess that thr transfer request won't be coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shafted us and all his talk is cheap Its not in the owners or jack Its just what football is unfortunately, it's the PL in all its glory, its not different from Yorke, barry milner, young, Delph, Benteke And its utterly **** shit Edited July 31, 2021 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If Jack goes, what chance have we got of keeping great players in the future? He could be a catalyst for our future if he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the clubs are negotiating as Romano is reporting it means that Villa aren't telling them that he isn't for sale but they are working to finish the deal. Sadly I think Grealish is a goner, this is just a question of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan-scott Posted July 31, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 I’m in the same camp as @samjp26, I don’t think it’s as cut and dried that he’s off to City. We still have an opportunity to keep hold of him, and once he’s back we will sit him down again. If there was a release clause, it would have been reported with the bid. I’m sitting back and awaiting developments. I don’t think £100m will make NSWE flinch. With no clause they’d want more to even consider. I’m ignoring the noise around it for now. I still have faith in Purslow, the owners and Jack’s words around the ‘vision and project’ from last year, until proven wrong. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he goes, **** him. And I genuinely hope he fails. None of this bullshit those words removed down the road do with Bellingham, where they celebrate his success. I want him sitting on the bench looking miserable because he's failed there. **** him. Bellingham at least had the good sense to move to a different country where entrenched rivalry isn't there. If this goes ahead, Jack will almost certainly be trying to score against Villa at Villa Park next season. While he's in his prime and we're trying to get the club back where it belongs. You can't do that and still be a legend. He'll end up being just another player to us, not remembered any more fondly than Barry or Benteke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) If he leaves, I still like him although I do admit, part of me still wants him to fail at Man City. Like a jilted ex-husband who's still in love with his ex wife and so wants her new relationship to fail. But otherwise, still wants the best for her.

Lol I don’t understand how people know this stuff. My gut instinct would be he wants to know what City would offer him so he can say to Villa, here is what City is offering me, what can you do?

It could be, we said no that offers not good enough to City and the City side of the story consider it a negotiation whereas Villa would consider it rejected, but because we don’t share information, the bid being rejected won’t get reported.
