PaulC Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 2 hours ago, TRO said: If folk ask me for the best UK play makers George Best and Paul Gascoigne spring to mind. but I have been watching some of the footage back of these great players and Jack is not a million miles away from them.....dare I be so bold as to say, at times he is in their company.....consistency is key of course, but they didn't do it every match. Jack is 25 and still learning new bits to his game, he is totally dedicated, so anything can happen.....but these comparisons are gradually becoming less and less out of place. I am absolutely convinced the owners know exactly what they have got and will act in the best interests of Aston Villa FC with it. PS Remember the worldie David Platt scored against Belgium....I wonder if there is an omen for Jack on his first competitve game for England against the same team. Got some way to be as good as George Best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him going to Spain one day however, &, Is he really going to line up against the Villa ? 100% agree. Post lockdown that is, I've heard Marbs is nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, with the length of contract, that price is closer to the truth than the 80m quoted so far. Assuming no clause of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denaldinho Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Regardless of jack's future villa is where he was developed - Players over the years have been the next big thing Moore brothers, delfonseo etc etc. But, jack is a truly world class player in the making with a unique style to his game. I'm very happy he is a villan and clubs are jealous - Mount, Maddison and other midfielders they are typical English midfielders. Grealish as his own style and totally owning it.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 7 hours ago, nick76 said: I disagree, we have spent over 200m in the last two summers so while a huge sum to normal humans like you and I, why would we contemplate selling our best player for the equivalent of half of our outgoing spend. I don’t think there would be any discussion. The only way I think there would be any discussion is if Jack wanted to force himself out and then the owners would have to think. I think that scenario has gone with Jack signing a five year deal indicating he’s happy to commit long term here when he could’ve easily stuck on his three year contract which he would’ve got a pay rise on anyway. He signed his deal and the owners are committed to build around him over the coming seasons so any bid will be rebuffed. We’ve spent too much building around him to let him go. On around 14 players with 9 of them part of the current first 11! I’m pretty sure Jack would consider leaving if offered silly money and chance to challenge for titles. Anyway let’s just enjoy the season for now and we can can see what next see summer brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Two Villa players starting tonight. I will be spending the whole match thinking “do us proud, don’t get injured” on repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Is he given a free role off Kane? Could be interesting. Also he’s great mates with Chilwell, so watching them link up should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I like how there’s all these articles denouncing the comparisons between Mount and Grealish... we all know they are different players, it’s only a thing because of Southgate’s weird post match comments!
