HalfTimePost Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 This has been discussed in the speculation thread so thought I'd post it here. From some guy Reddit trusts as he had some info last year about Barkley. Says this is first info he's been given all summer by same guy he got Barkley info from Posted a day ago, first two appear to be correct since. Too farfetched for me. I'm resigned to losing Jack but ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Just putting this in here. Apparently someone on Reddit who has ITK status in the past. Could well be a load of nonsense but why not put it here and hope he's right eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly, all those journos that are so well connected with our club, said nothing about Bailey today. I reckon he might refund them himself. I’ve heard of players doing that before and with this being Villa and Grealish it’s only fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't leave then great. The fact remains about selling players when we are at our strongest and never being able to compete though. It's happened before, the cycle needs to end. I've got some bad news for you! But for a few teams in the world...it's a NEVER-ENDING cycle! But you know this already...right? Your petulant footstamping ain't gonna change this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then we will only know Jack's true intentions behind his actions if he personally speaks out about them. All else is assumption. Him choosing to leave (if he does) could be based on a number of different reasons. Ill intent for Villa is not one I would be banking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone working at the club shop, but come on folks, does anyone believe some 17yr old student working weekends in retail in order to pay for his/her student bar beer tokens has been briefed on signings?

Had he told the club he wanted to leave we could have been much better prepared but factors move at an unexpected pace, also the Euro's was always going to scupper plans to do business early, which was our original plan. I think we have to be philosophical, about Jacks situation and when we know, we have to move on....as soon as Jack annouces his leaving, he is the past for me and great moments too....being bitter, will not add anything of any worth to our emotions. when he comes back with them...I won't boo or cheer, he will be the past to me.....just like Andy Gray was when he went to Wolves and he was my pal at that time.

The I'll intent isn't his driving force but certainly if he does go then he hasn't helped our preparations on or off the pitch by not letting the club know his intentions.

StanBalaban Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 4 minutes ago, Steero113 said: Honestly, if I could be arsed I would individually contact every single one of these ITK's around Villa and tell them all that they are lying, scheming, clueless clearings in the woods. For all we know we come out tomorrow with a new deal for Jack and there hasn't even been a bid. And I'm including Percy in that too from what I've seen of the last 10 days. Thing is, for someone like Percy, there's no doubt he gets information from the club - especially when it suits us. Outside of that, you can only know what you're told. In the absence of being told anything, JP is no different to the rest. This is one of the biggest stories ever in the PL, generating likes, retweets, clicks and subscriptions as people are desperate for any kind of "news". The Telegraph, in the absence of information, can't afford to sit this one out, so they have to go with a story. The club are obviously trying to control communications, hence confirming the Bailey story before any journalist. I can't believe anyone outside of the very smallest of circles knows what's going on with Jack. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we're doing now is getting worked up over gossip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
