Remind me as an example how long did benteke have on his contract before going on strike to force a deal to sign for us. Yeah but we were terrible and that was following a horrendous season so I don't blame him too much for wanting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If he does reject their advances and he stays, I can't see him ever leaving tbh. I really can't. City won't come back in for him I don't think and any release clause will likely be more than any club can realistically afford. We need to get this over the line. Come on Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack won't force a move, he'll sign a bumper deal, we'll sign Bailey, Alvarez and whoever else we want and stroll into the champions league That's the spirit, it aint happened till its happened i say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he U turn on his belief in a project after such a short time? I'm not saying it's not possible but doesnt add up for me and he doesn't seem that kind of guy so will simply trust that Jack will lead us to even more success this season! I may well have my head in the sand whilst wearing rose tinted glasses but it's what I'm going with. If I'm wrong then will definitely feel a little aggrieved despite the decent money we'll no doubt get (although probably not enough in my book!) As was the case with Delph, a player signing a new contract just before leaving is all about helping your current club out by ensuring they get the maximum price for the move. It is not necessarily about pledging allegiance to anybody and shouldn't be used as a reason to shoot him down !

Welsh_Villan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think he needs to do all of us a favour and post another . I know the last one was only a couple days ago, but just for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why this can't be good for both. He gets to play at an elite level, instant success, and with the right investment, we can build a better team Big TRUE. Even with Grealish gone we are still in an unbelievable position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strog Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Too much smoke regarding the speculation now unfortunately. Hard to know what Grealish thinks but if his desire is to win trophies and win them soon then sadly Man City will be the best choice. If he does go it will be interesting how the ownership handles this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack didn’t like it when we subbed him off for a rest ten minutes from time, he is hardly likely to refuse to play. 4years left, World Cup coming up, we are in total control of this. Apparently no buy out clause, He is worth what we demand he is worth. If we aren’t demanding £120m+ (Even that is too light!) Only then I will question NSWE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If he chooses to go he will have partially screwed the club because our targets will cost us a lot more and for that reason alone he will be booed on his return to VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I got a sneaky feeling he has a release clause and it's less than £100m around £85m -£90m it might be specific to Champions League clubs. If that's the case then that'll be the first bit of weakness on the part of NSWE. That can't be allowed to happen again. It's just a hunch.
