Dodgyknees Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 “Grealish backs owners plans for club by committing his future” is a massive story after being chased all summer and is a boost for us, as a club, which attracts other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 11 minutes ago, Phil Silvers said: Exactly, on sky just the headline is Man City open talks with Villa for the transfer of Jack, which in all likeliness consists of email arriving at Villa and has been ignored. Sounded more like talks have been going on for a few days and we haven’t stopped talking , unfortunately suggests to me that Jack might have expressed an interest to go . I think he’s gone , but will be pleasantly surprised if he ends up staying 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citeh and Villa conduct their business in private and no one but the inner circle really knows. If you are correct though and there is real depth do all of this, it could literally be a coin flip for Jack, what a tough spot. Hoping you are wrong Tony and Jack stays.

Danishlad Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 17 minutes ago, Eastie said: So if city offer him £300k villa need to match it? No way would be be paying him that - it would be madness and imagine the disparity In wages amongst the squad - we do not have the income of city - by all means offer him a new deal but let’s be honest we cannot match whatever city can pay him ,and nor do we need to do so , he still has 4 years left on his deal Look I don’t know the finances of the club. But if we can buy a player for 40 million pound and offer him a top wage then we can pay Jack a top wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club and Jack have gentlemens agreement and club dont stick to it. How is that not acting in bad faith from clubs side? What kind of message we are sending to every player who will come to villa? Dont sign any deal with villa without clauses that would let you leave and dont trust a word from a club? If club did that to mister villa it can do it to you without any problem.

villanmac Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Its Jon the don Barnett, number 1 most powerful sports agent in the world. He don't have to talk Villa - gets the deal done himself he does. Just like he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 1 hour ago, daggy_333 said: If he goes then I think the club have really messed this one up. Selling our star player is one thing, but selling him 2 weeks before the season starts is ridiculous. The club should have put a date on it and if nothing had happened by that date then Jack should have been made aware that he was staying. However, it's not like we seem to be scrambling around with bids for his replacement. Without a release clause, the club don't need to do anything in order for him to stay.

pas5898 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) FWIW this is how I think it will play out. Firstly, Villa will have a deadline and a ridiculous price which I don't think man City will meet. It will have a high premium to lose our best player 2 weeks before the season starts. If its not met Jack will play his best this season, and captain the club. Been reported he won't kick up a fuss. There will be a gentleman's agreement and fee agreed for next season. We will have targets to work on for 12 months in preparation for Jack leaving. Only way he stays next summer is if: -He gets injured so man City get cold feet. -We have a ridiculous season and qualify for CL. ......... Probably the plan all along as Man City don't need Grealish yet, they'll switch to Kane or a striker which they desperately need.

The contact between fan bases has gone beyond light hearted banter into generating petty rivalries - the only winners are the shitehawk media who lap this up and regurgitate it over and over again. im becoming disillusioned with the whole thing to be fair Fixed that for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 what the ireland/ england situation has taught me is that Jack is not scared to make the difficult, and unpopular decisions in order to further his career. The fella has received as much abuse in his career as nearly any other player due to his playing style, lifestyle, vocal hatred of the blues, international rethink. So he will not be basing his decision on how it affects other people or potential negative feedback from fans. He will base this decision on Jack Grealish and the best move for his career. And thats not really even a criticism - the most successful people in life always display as element of selfishness and ruthlessness 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
