FFP will be sorted, we will have switched on accountants now, no need to sell stars! Even if that is the case I still think there is something to be said for giving ourselves more room to manoeuvre in the market. That being said Spurs tend to complete their business so late in the day it might be worth still knocking them back and see where all the pieces are in Jan.

Depends on what the new owners have told him of their ambitions. It maybe staying means he gets to play for a club with more ambition and more resources than Spuds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, getting him to sign a new contract (as he will next week) and letting our new incredibly wealthy owners enact their plans would be the ideal outcome. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still do outgoing transfers while under an embargo. Anything else would be unfair and damaging to players at said club. However, often clubs with transfer embargo will not sell players as they have no opportunity to replace them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's staying and that's that. They'll have to start a new rumour about a new player. Palace beware it's your turn now!! Hear hear! Well said that man.

Surely if Bruce was confident he was likely to leave, he wouldn't be structuring his team around him? You'd want to see the remaining players and give them the match time. The result isn't important in pre season beyond minor confidence boost which can easily go out the window in the first game so there's no reason to play the best 11. Bruce is experienced enough to recognise that. It's about forging a system which you intend to use for the season ahead, gaining fitness and seeing where the players who haven't played much are at. It's not like we have another player that can fit into that role naturally (as far as I'm aware). There's no point in playing a system with him in it unless they've got a similar target lined up. I'd like to think so but his skillset is fairly unique, so unfortunately I doubt it. Or alternatively, they actually reckon he's staying! Here's hoping! Here's hoping. From my experience in professional sport this isn't always the case. But I would applaud any coach/manager who assembles their preseason teams accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Can't really express how excited I'll be if he stays this season other than to say I'll be over the moon. I've been yapping on about how good I think he'll be, and this will be one of a few defining seasons for Grealish, I'll be absolutely chuffed if it's in a Villa shirt. One area where Bruce does get credit from me, is the emergence of Grealish. So I hope that continues and I am given further cause to get behind the positives happening at Villa once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Love it if he stays. I could use a quick "hey it looks like i am staying" post from him though instead of this cryptic davinchi code stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I can see him signing a new contract with a non promotion release clause for next summer or something similar, be interested to know what figure is agreed though, they can sometimes fall on the low side in these situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think it's hilarious that Villa were in absolute bits and Spurs still couldn't even manage to get this done. Shambles of a transfer window for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very much hoping he can have a great season with us and give you that chance to see him play at the lane next season in a claret & blue shirt. Watch out for us making a take it or leave it £50m offer to Levy for Harry next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 Spurs are the worst club at having supposed ITKs. 99% chance they're talking absolute shit. Even more so than any other clubs' ITKs. ITKs are like **** psychics. We all know they're talking shit, but people can't help but believe them.

Nigel Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 This really is a statement of intent! Can't believe how lucky it was that was that we got taken over by these guys....in the short term at least. Back in the game this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
