Same as for every other player since Bosman. No he's not fully entitled to do so, he has 4 years left on his contract that still means something and Bosman doesnt change that. Whether you are talking through his contract which he's not or the one I've heard from other Villa fans of how much he's given and done for us he should be allowed to leave bollocks....we've developed him and pay him massive wages to do this and which he agreed to (at least for another four years). Yes other clubs could've done it for him but it was us who have nurtured all these years including his bad discipline days so we should get the benefit of that especially when he agreed it. If Man City came in for him, I would just reject all offers, that's our right to do....we dont have to sell. Any correspondence from Man City, I would just reply "not interested". Unless the owners want to sell and we all know they dont but if they did then unless Man City achieve or fee, Jack doesnt leave...full stop. Bosman doesnt change that, Jack doesnt change that. Players have a lot of power but so do clubs with the upper hand like we do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a technique, probably developed by NASA and called triangulation or something, we can exclusively reveal Jack Grealish will be playing his football at VILLA PARK next season. Grealish is said to be massively grateful of Chelsea’s late bid as without the London club’s offer, Grealish was all set to sign for Port Vale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rjw63 Posted June 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 A friend of mine is a neighbour of an AVFC employee (Bodymoor Heath). He says Jack has the CEO wrapped round his little finger, gets everything and anything he wants and loves it at Villa. Going nowhere. That's what I hear anyway. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the line ....I favour....it makes sense. He would never get the " Big Fish" treatment anywhere else. My take is.......They failed with the " sneaky 6 " project and now they are trying to disrupt Villa, because they are fearful of our progress and the intention of it. There is a clamour from all clubs with Money and ambition, to pick up all the starlets from the Euro's......its like a kid in a sweetshop....The media just capitalize as easy pickings. However, Our players know that something huge is happening with us and the powers that be , will not derail that momentum......I would be surprised, if any of our regular players would want to leave.

This is a key, underrated and under-discussed point. So Liverpool want McGinn, great. Does McGinn want Liverpool? There are obvious benefits to joining the clubs that already compete at the top, but there is very little coverage of why players would want to be at teams who are striving to compete. Players at Leicester seem content; will Declan Rice definitely want a move away from a progressive West Ham? It's exciting at these teams. I would imagine a real culture of togetherness and determination to do something special. I'm not sure you're getting that at the teams at the top.

tomav84 Posted June 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2021 disappointed with the owners/purslow if it's only 100m it was inevitable, but that's too cheap IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Honestly, I thought he was gone last summer, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did go this time round. On the flip though, I think he'll give us this season, see if we get into Europe, if we do he'll stay if we don't he'll be off. The media can do one, they moaned about the big six breaking away, yet all they do is constantly link the league's best players to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t stand in his way any longer to be honest Stand in his way? he’s the one who when presented with a 5 year contract decided to sign it 9 months ago….just 9 months ago. He didn’t have to sign it, he could’ve said no to any new contract or he could’ve asked for a shorter one but no he signed a long term contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It would explain Buendia, always thought we didnt need both. Man City in for Grealish and Kane, football over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm not sure any amount of money would make me feel any less gutted IF this is true. Even £150mill and I'd be disappointed to lose him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
