Could be rubbish and he doesn't sound convinced himself but he called Traore and Barkley last summer so who knows? Whether it’s rubbish or not, cheers. What does “it’s lower than paper talk at the minute” mean? The chance of him leaving is less than being made out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have known a bid was incoming as he and his team will have been sounded out so he could at that point told the club if they bid 100 million and meet the release clause he wants to go. The rumours of City going to bid appeared in the media as the euros started so again he could have let the club as those rumours will have come from info from city end. The clearing in the woods on talksport got his info from Stellar about the bid when announced Grealish was off, again how long ago was that and it looks like the club will only find out on Monday what his intentions are. As a so called fan and for the club he has been at since he was six I am disappointed that he has treated the club this way. Sounds like you can believe whatever you want...

The chance of him leaving is less than being made out? No problem. Definitely worth at least a read. He doesn't seem a typical needy ITK and has actual history so worth keeping an eye on. I took it as he means most of the talk at the moment isn't even paper talk, it's just rumours, hearsay or pure bullshit. Can't argue with that.

Accept the bid, let them talk, and Jack simply tells them to do one. Would be wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey2Arms Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It’s all very strange isn’t it. 24 hours later and no response at all to the bid. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the boardroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 SSN now reporting 100 million on the table and Villa are leaving it up to Jack to decide. I doubt that's the truth or it works like that these days. Would be a bit harsh putting it on jack, the club know he would get killed on social media and the like, if they knew it was his decision to go.

Plot twist, Man City havent bid 100m but have received a 100m bid from Villa for Foden. Phil looking to force the move and will hand in a transfer request to make his feelings known. City to agree to the deal to fund a move for Cantwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack wouldnt risk tarnishing is relationship with villa fans. He'll know himself if he signs that contract, he has god status at VP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they are being incredibly generous. “We have you for 4 years, Jack. We’re investing heavily and we want you to be at the heart of this. You can be a Villa legend. But we realize the service you have given to this club and if you really want to leave we won’t stop you”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I noticed on VillaTV today they were doing their best not to mention his name, at one point they went through all the names that had been or are away on international duty but when it came to the England players they just referred to them as that 'the England players' but then did mention Mings at other times. Maybe it was just because they didn't want to mention his because it then would be strange not to comment on the rumours and they didn't want to do that.
