No I don't !!! You introduced the word "perennially" !! Though things will need to change though if you manage to avoid relegation this season. Trying to outscore Premier League opposition without having a solid D will just bring the same results As for a football player at 25 years old, two years represents possibly forty per cent of his remaining career and that is not to be taken lightly. Players, not just Jack, need to see ambition and potential. It's why Mahrez left Leicester & Zaha wants out of C Palace just to use two examples. It's an ongoing story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear we will be again next season if we don't start signing some better standard of players from somewhere. Manager needs to improve aswell of course. You look at the Wolves squad now and it's comfortably better than ours. Helps their squad is drilled in their formation aswell. Everton have underachieved this season but they could still finish in the top half. Newcastle will spend lots and improve. These aren't top 6 but will probably be in 7th-10th group next season. Really we need to at least be showing some progress by finishing 10 points clear of relegation and ahead of likes of Palace, West Ham and Burnley next year if we stay up. It's pretty sobering reading but we have finished 10th or higher on just 5 occasions since May 2004! Finishing in the top half would be excellent progress next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 There’s an interesting 30 minute interview with him on our official site, he comes across as quite humble I thought.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted May 17, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 The Mirror are reporting that we're refusing to budge from an £80m valuation on the player. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-refuse-budge-massive-22039771 Quote Aston Villa will not be bullied over their £80m valuation of Jack Grealish – even if the club loses its survival fight. It's probably paper garbage, but at least they've stopped the nonsense about him going for £30m. For me, if someone pays £80m for Grealish, they're getting a very good deal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a club paid £80m, it would rank him as the 11th most expensive player of all time, in my opinion, we would be getting a very good deal if a team decided to pay that much for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I wouldn't take a penny less than £80m myself, in fact I would be talking about £100m. We are with our present owners, no longer a selling club and need to adopt the Daniel Levy/Brentford outgoing transfer fee policy, if one of our player's really must go, when it's against our wishes. £100m (PL) is the new £20m (EFL)! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The articles by Neil Moxley so you’d like to think it has a little more weight to it than an unknown reporter. Interestingly it puts our owners wealth at a combined £12bn which would put Eden’s own net worth at +5bn based on Sawiris per Forbes. A lot more than previous estimates, which suggests it could be bull. Either way he’s got this from somewhere and you’d like to hope it’s Villa’s side.

It sounds like you are I’d rather have the player than the money to be honest. No guarantees that replacements would be comparable to team value. We don’t need to sell, player can try and force a sale but given Jacks feelings towards Villa I don’t think he’d go on strike or push the boundaries too far. Doesn’t matter what division we are in.

We still have 3 years of his contract left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
