Keyblade Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It's going to be funny seeing everyone opening their eyes to how good he actually is, while he's only playing at like 70% of his max. Was absolutely the right move for him for increased exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 No way he celebrates. Up to him if he does but I really don’t think he will. No doubt if he does anything resembling a smile he’ll be labelled a Judas scumbag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was absolutely the right move for him for increased exposure. Nail on head. I think that's what really triggers a lot of our fans, me included. He is the same player he's been for a few years, but because he didn't play for a "Sky 6" team there was absolutely no recognition. This obviously even goes as high as Gareth Southgate. Now he's joined City, he a "guaranteed starter" for England when you listen to SkySports and TalkSport pundits. Last year (when he was the same player) he's fighting with Foden, Rashford, Sterling etc. He didn't exactly dominate in the summer, so what's changed? Oh he's joined a Sky 6 team. He was a wonderful, generational, special player before, but weirdly you need to play for a Sky 6 team to be understood as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow clearly stated the 100million was a "Confidential" release clause. That's why when Man City bid 100 million (on the dot) we tried to negotiate for more, Grealish's camp kicked off and Man City knew there was a release clause of 100m and the exact date by which it would expire. Someone tipped off Man City about the release clause. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a release clause of £100m and Man City bid £100m... so we then tried to get more? I'm not entirely sure this is how release clauses work and quite rightly, the people who had that release clause put into a contract would kick off if we tried to renege on it.

I'm not entirely sure this is how release clauses work and quite rightly, the people who had that release clause put into a contract would kick off if we tried to renege on it. I think Greg Evans wrote a piece in the Athletic about this. There is nothing stopping us trying to get more out of Man City, in a negotiating format should the clause be confidential. Obviously we can't decline a 100million offer, but can try to extract more. Man City bid 100million and knew they didn't need to go higher, even though the clause was meant to be confidential. Villa called bluff, apparently even tried to involve European clubs etc to entice Man City to bid more. They also knew the exact date (the following Saturday) which the deal needed to be concluded by. However upon the 100million bid, Jack Grealish and his team instructed Villa to accept the 100million offer and we had no choice but to accept.

His dad. I love Villa, I go to every single game, obsessed over the club since 3/4 years old. But I love my son more, and I would do ANYTHING to make him happy or further his career when he's older. If I was in his father shoes, and that's what my son wanted I'd back him 100%. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well… They aren’t my family and I am not a Man City fan… So I couldn’t give a toss and will show no empathy towards their situation… Bollocks to them for conspiring against the Villa… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
