I notice all these connected people had no idea that the Bailey deal was so far down the line. Including the man at the back post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 11 minutes ago, KangarooVillan said: TRO like I get your drift, but how can you get the enjoyment out of football moving along those lines? I’m not being critical, and what you’ve said isn’t untrue in the current paradigm, but it feels so sterile. I don't think its been any different in the sense the top teams cherry pick the lesser teams best players.....its just the sums of money are different and the agents are in the players ears, like flies on a donkey and the media want their predictions to come true, for credibility. There are so many moving factors, you have to be aware of replacing every player, Ollie could go, and we will have to replace him.....sadly its modern football, as I have said, not to get too emotionally attached, its that what consumes us. Despite players attempts to tell us different, its their jobs and behind the scenes they see the warts 'n all.....That must have an affect on them. from Jack standing on the terraces, to playing in the top flight with Villa....He must see a world of difference....That must affect his vulnerability and emotional standing.....eventually, its just a Job, albeit quite different from ours.

You'd be lucky to get Abraham and JWP for £100m! That's why I can't believe our owners would accept that bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Man City are bidding for him without knowing if he is happy to move then I don't know what to say to you. It's your assumption that he's 'waited until the final two weeks to drop some kind of bombshell' that irks me. You really think he'd do that? Let's be honest, he'd be mad to not want to go to Man City to play with some of the best players in the world and regularly challenge for silverware. However I do not for one second buy into the thought that he hasn't considered Villa during this window. He loves the club dearly and it'll pain him to leave - as it would any of us. We can't assume he's waited until the last minute. What if it were Man City doing the waiting? Why do you have to assume that Grealish doesn't care? Yes there's plenty of reason for him to stay but there's also many reasons why he should move on and if he does choose to switch clubs it's not as simple as him not caring or chasing after $$/glory. He's a professional athlete who, like any of us, wants to perform at the very top of his game whilst able. He really can go somewhere and achieve something special. Obviously we'd all like that to be with the Villa, him included, but we have to be realistic. That's Jack's dilemma and time is running out. Look, mate, I feel your pain and I do not want him to leave. It'll be a sad day if Jack leaves for those sharks but never forget that he loves the Villa.

Sorry but he doesn't get my thanks and best wishes after that Similarly, giving us the time meant we could bid for whoever we wanted without driving the price up. If he left 6 weeks ago we'd have had inflated fees all summer. Not his fault we've got to two weeks before the start of the season and after £100m has rocked up to start putting bids in that aren't for ESR. I agree it's shit timing and it depends on what the conversations with the club were like all summer. If he's led them on and then dumped us then yes I agree. But I imagine that's not the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't dropped any 'bombshell' that anyone knows about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Still so much we don't know about what's gone on behind the scenes. Maybe he wanted to go last summer and we could only convince him to sign a new contract if there was a release clause, or an informal agreement with Dean and the owners that if a club came with £100m he could go Might have said he was going to go at the start of this window but the club decided to give him time to change his mind and reckoned they could get business done that was necessary with or without him this season Maybe his legs are actually in an awful state and we reckon £100m now is actually a steal and it's better to have a clean break now rather than 2-3 seasons of our main man being out for half the games I just know the owners will value Jack just as highly as anyone on here and have no illusions about how absolutely massive for us he has been. If he goes for £100m I wouldn't blame them. Our business so far this summer has been exemplary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
