Hasn't he been out all summer with a serious knee injury though? I doubt Spurs will loan him out as they will want to monitor his rehab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how true that is, mind. Edited August 7, 2018 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is starting to look that way, the £7m gap will quickly close up with the transfer deadline looming, this is just Spurs testing the water if true. I just hope that if he does go, we aren't backing down on our price and make them pay every last penny of the original price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2018 Personally I think there must be some indication he's going to go due to all the transfer activity we're suddenly doing. FFP is still an issue for us. Though, I hope to god he stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KSV Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Dare i say it. He is very overrated by Villa fans. I get it.. hes one of our own.. but if we get 40 million.. weve mugged them. Hes a great player.. potentially to be very good.. but hes not worth that now. He has played half a good season for his boyhood club. Despite playing well.. hasnt really torn the Championship apart.. he gets fouled a lot and looks good doing it. I do think however.... he will improve massively at Tottenham. More players on his wave length.. probably make him look better. Grealish also hasnt had a good manager in his career.. not one who could actually improve him. I bet Pochettino will bring the best out of him and he may be worth that price tag one day. 30-40 million.. considering hes not really proven in the Premier League over a full season or two... is superb money. Fixes our FFP and allows us to re build with Bryan McGinn Nyland Powell.. a few loans Abraham/Man City lad etc etc. Its a win win all around. Villa will have a fresh start with no FFP woes with our new owners and we bring in 4-5 decent players. Edited August 7, 2018 by KSV 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2018 If he does go to Spurs I kinda hope he has a hard time of it there, and then we get promoted with Alan Hutton being our top goalscorer this season, we can buy Grealish back.

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 Will be the saddest moment in a long time for me when it's announced he's left. I dont think he's amazing, but he plays football the way I always wanted to play football as a kid. The way he glides past players effortlessly is worth the ticket price on its own. There are better players - you could argue he's not as good as Lingard, Alli, Sterling, Loftus Cheek etc. but none of them can do what he does in the effortless fashion he does it. I'll sure miss you, Jack. UTV. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 How would the BBC know that there is a "£7m gap" between offer and acceptance? That would mean either, or a combination of, 1/ We have told Levy what he needs to offer to get the deal done. 2/ Levy has told the BBC what he has offered and what we want. 3/ Levy has told the BBC what he has offered. 4/ We have told the BBC what we want. 5/ We have told the BBC what Levy has offered and what we actually want. There are likely other perms I haven't covered. However, some of the Levy leaks are certainly possible but some points, such as 1/, 4/ and 5/ are extremely unlikely. It would make no sense whatsoever to tell Levy a price and there is nothing in it for us to tell the BBC a damn thing about the negotiation if we want to keep the player. So, it's crap.

Hahaha journalism just gets worse and worse. The 2 clubs that are rumoured to interested are Spurs and Chelsea, and the transfer window shuts on Thursday. To claim he will have at medical at a London club in the next 24hrs isn't exactly ground breaking. I'm just surprised that he didn't throw in the caveat of: 'Or he might decide to stay at Aston Villa' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
