London Villa Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Evening Standard are onto it down here. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-want-jack-grealish-and-aston-villa-star-in-keen-to-make-move-a3881246.html Spurs are keen to test Villa's resolve to keep the talented midfielder with a bid before the August 9 transfer deadline, although talks are yet to take place between the clubs. Villa need to make at least £40million due to the financial problems of owner Tony Xia and Spurs hope the crisis-club will agree to sell the England Under-21 international for a cut-price fee of £15-20million. Villa are thought to be holding out for at least £30m, however, after Grealish helped them to the Championship play-off final with a string of fine performances. Grealish, 22, is currently on a pre-season training camp with Villa in Portugal but he is said to be aware of Spurs' interest and keen to make the switch.

rubberman Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 As long as they are still £15m away in their valuation I remain hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted July 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Bye Jack. I hope in 10 years you come back and help try and get us promoted! Edited July 6, 2018 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 They are that keen that they have yet to talk to us about our player and want to pay the same fee that they offered and that we rejected all those years ago for Benteke. Jack is "keen" to make the switch is he? Not so keen as Benteke was I would guess and he never went there did he? Let's hope history will repeat itself.

TRO Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I don't want him to go, but for his own ends, he needs to get away. I wish him well....turned out to be a fine lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 If the club were in a decent state we would be offering him an improved contract to tie him up so we get a respectable fee if we don't get promoted this season. Instead were run by numpties who have run the club into the ground and as a result we are now scratching down the back of the sofa trying to find any pennies to pay the next tax bill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Whether he is there now or not is irrelevant really. He will be sold. people should just start to accept it right now and get used to the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there won't be a transfer without a fee being agreed between two clubs ? Social media bollocks, this is no further forward than when the press were lying about maximum of £15M bids from Spurs. Everyone should calm down. It’s happening, Levy just happy to drive down the fee 1 hour ago, AshVilla said: If the club were in a decent state we would be offering him an improved contract to tie him up so we get a respectable fee if we don't get promoted this season.

Yeah exactly, we’ve been a selling Club since Yorke. Cowards at board level for 20 years pretty much Edited July 6, 2018 by Fairy In Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during his allocated time off? Just curious, this period would be the little chance he has to unwind from it all for a short while. Now we're back, and we'll know the outcomes shortly.

A'Villan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Losing him will be the biggest disappointment I've experienced while I've been a supporter. We've seen some tripe in the last decade or so, nothing has shone quite as bright as Grealish coming of age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a selling club is fine, when you sell players and reinvest to try and improve. We are selling a once in a generation academy product to balance the books. Its a **** disgrace and should never be forgotten while bruce and xia remain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
