BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Obviously i dont know of any promises made to Jack last year but on the face of it we are crazy for accepting a bid. If there was no clause; should have just rejected any figure they offered. 4 years left to run! No need for it under any circumstance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way city put a record breaking bid in without knowing Jack is open to joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Collymore, the only thing holding up the deal, and for this long, is Jack's acceptance. Doesn't track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) I'll be angry now if he goes. He didn't need to return to training. It didn't do anything for the fans or the club, in fact it's only served to create a little circus around us these past few days. I thought I'd be magnanimous about it, but if he leaves now then he no longer goes with my blessing. Edited August 3, 2021 by est1874 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If Collymore is right and we’ve already accepted the bid, then I hope that’s because we know Jack’s shins will only give him another three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I had a bit of a wobble earlier but the truth is, nobody knows anything outside of AVFC, Shitty and Jack’s team. Stuff is clearly happening but the outcome appears to be uncertain at this stage. I think the likelihood is that City and Villa are trying to reach agreement. The devil as always will be in the detail. I suspect that a deadline will have been agreed. If no agreement is reached by then, Jack will stay, otherwise he is off. That’s my take. We just have to wait it out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on when the bid was accepted, that could mean Grealish has been sitting up to 6 days with this info and still not made a decision. Can't imagine he would come to train while still pondering leaving. edit to add, unless Mr Whispers is right in that it was just accepted.

I think Jack has told the club he's open to it and would like the opportunity to speak to city. City put in a bid that we find acceptable and we also offer Jack an improved deal now he's back. It's a life changing decision. I can see why he might want a few days to think it all through, whilst the clubs hammer out the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget he was saying Jack already agreed a new contract before the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is release clause club must accept it and let player decide thats what our club is doying. Its not about how much our club want or dont want player in their team...

Edit: But that would line up with what Collymore is saying, which of course itself isn't very reliable. This radio silence from the club is excruciating.

hippo Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If he's mulling it over - then he's probably not going to go. "When you don't know what to do - do nothing " as my mom always used to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicates that Jack isn't sure? I dunno. Confused! I don't think we've accepted it yet. It's a record breaking fee, it's going to be a complicated process structuring the payment and agreeing to what ever extras we want to put in.

useless Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The offer might have met a release clause, or as hard as it might be for some to believe, they might think that with the money they can make us a stronger team than with Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
