sharkyvilla Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 22 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Him admitting that he had the clause inserted because he wanted a big club to come in for him isn’t the best look. Just admits he had no interest in staying deep down. He just needs to shut up and focus on playing for City. The clause was a Champions League team could sign him for £100m, unless Villa were in the Champions League. I think that suggests he wants to play Champions League football now, his preference would be to do it for us but the chances of that were very slim.

Tomaszk Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Whenever I've seen him for City he hasn't looked fit yet. Be interested to see if the dodgy shins ever get better. England have generally been pretty good when he's on the pitch because he forces them forward, this will be no different. We will win tournaments if Jack Grealish plays like he has for Villa the last four years. And Southgate and Pep will gobble up plenty of credit I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have easily played half arsed like many do, knowing he most probably was getting his move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being very generous to him there…we were never going to be CL this season and so he knew that but all the comments that he’s onboard with the project was just BS. His allegiance to the Villa was no more than any money hungry/next step player and not a supporter that plays for his boyhood club or a legend or somebody that has a connection with the club. Shame! Now he’s just in the snake basket with the likes of Delph and co! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the move because he upped his output and was quality. No way he’d get the move for 100m playing half arsed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to play out of his skin to get this move. Fair play to him, if it wasn't for his dodgy shins, he would have fired us to Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Have to admit it’s nice to have an international week which isn’t all about whether waistcoat rocket polisher will play Jack or not. Even though we all know he starts today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I agree with you, nearly every player we have had that have gone on to play for England has had their head turned, once playing for England. I remember Vassell playing for England then went to City. Just seems to be a curse we have! There must be a pretty long list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 An even bigger question tonight is will greedy Sterling pass the ball to him?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 As @Zatman said earlier, he signed a contract with a £100m clause, just after he has survived relegation, wasn't an international and he has disgraced himself in lockdown. At that point people were saying he wasn't a £50m player! He couldn't have been desperate to move as that clause was practically pie in the sky at that point. Its testament to how great he was, he was able to get a team to pay it. The fact he's starting tonight means he probably feels justified in leaving. He's gone now and we got £100m. We've strengthened and made a profit. Happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Who's the last England international we had playing for us who stayed more than 1 year beyond their first call-up? Only one I can think of is Bent and that's only because Paul Lambert put him in the bomb squad. Also Gabby because he just wasn't good enough.

The fact that the move never came off tells me it was still a bit off our valuation. I think you're right that they never thought anyone would pay 100m, but I suspect if they held all the cards and City came in for him January 2021, we'd have asked for more than 100m.

Vassell was surplus to requirements here and City were genuinely dreadful at that time. It was nothing like the Grealish situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
