Popular Post Chicken Field Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 I've been worrying about Grealish leaving for months, I have now reached the conclusion that we are actually in a win-win situation. 100m is a ridiculously high price, if Bailey and Buendia have not been signed for Grealish money, we will be able to add 3 more 30m players around the pitch, we will defo have a stronger overall team. Keep Grealish and we keep one of the best players in the world and we will have a ridiculously good attack this season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will see that every time he goes to villa park for the rest of his life. The statue will live on another 500 years. No one will give 2 shits how many medals he won with City in 10 years time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably after both most likely though, going to cost them a good £200 million plus. I think it would be closer to 250-300m. If all goes pear shaped, which I dont think it will, I still dont understand why we would accept 100m. It's a shed load of money but the commercial value we'd lose would be comparable so makes no sense, if City really wanted him then it would be much more than 100m and Spurs seem the same with Kane with 160m numbers floating about. It just doesnt make sense when they are so much in need of a striker that they would choose Grealish over Kane. Kane desperately wants to leave Spurs. I dont think City can afford both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also received 11 million in the sell on clause from Sancho. Plus £120m in dodgy sponsorships from Abu Dhabi based ‘unrelated’ companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thug Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 Come on Jack! think Yorke He could have been a villa legend. He’s now the guy that banged a stripper, refuses to see his disabled son, and plays the racism card everytime the villa managers job is up for grabs. Oh and had a couple of decent seasons for Utd. Had you stayed you might just have got the shot at the managers job. You prick. Go count your shiny medals. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I do not understand those who will see him as a legend if he goes. He will have left the story part the way through. When the trajectory is upward. With owners that do not want or need to sell. To a domestic rival, with a unsavoury history with Villa. Without winning anything of note for Villa. At the first real test of loyalty. Now if he stays, that is a different story... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local lad who came up through the ranks, got us promoted and stablised the club, probably the best player to wear the shirt since McGrath, beating Blues after taking a sucker punch to the head, playing in an England squad that got to the first final since 66. If he wants to leave now to win medals because deep down he doesn't believe the owners can get the club there then who am I to argue that? Take the point about whether he wants be someone who forces the move or not but all players, even legendary ones get to the point where they look around, Shearer with Man U, Gerrard with Chelsea, Messi with PSG/Man City. Legend for giving us 2 seasons of Prem football at getting us 11th. Getting into England squad and then leaving. Nah he's no legend, just one of many great players we've had if he goes now while we're on the up. In terms of Villa I see it as neutral for the success of the club if we get 100m for him vs him staying. Both are different paths both have a big upside over next few seasons 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes, he’ll be a brilliant player that moved on. No more a legend than Platt or Yorke. Id thank him for his contribution, wish him the best and have no ill feelings at all towards him. But no way would he be a legend. That’s the price he pays for leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 They’ll splash out and overspend on Kane (when they could’ve gone for Haaland, Mbappe or other, better, options). Jack stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
