Tbf we're a much better-run club now than we were then, and we have a much more progressive manager as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crap summer this has been. Question Grealish, not the project. It would be him who made it clear he wants out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I desperately want him to stay, but stopping him leaving and paying him 3 times more than our next top earner is as much of a risk as taking + £100mill now while he is as saleable as possible and reinvesting in players who want to be here. Also, ironically by him signing a new contract we are shutting down the chance of bringing in further top talent due to ffp, meaning we are less likely to achieve everyone's ambitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I agree with those of you who think that Jack will stay. I hope that Man City will be told politely but firmly by NSWE/Purslow that Grealish is under contract to Villa for another four years. I think they may also say that either they would .... A) totally reject another approach, or it would take a bid above 120 million to even get as far as sitting down at the negotiating table to discuss a package, including another 30 million structured add ons to that 120 million bid. In my opinion that's the current value of Jack to Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already brought Buendia in, and have been linked to players better than those we have in the same positions. Anyway, I'm still hopeful we reject any offers and Jack signs a new contract.

The Fun Factory Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We could just repeatably say no like Palace have done with Zaha. Trouble is it sullied his reputation with the Palace fans and he still really wants to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one forced him to sign that deal or say those words so to leave now is pretty snakey tbh, especially to City I don't think "pretty snakey" does it justice. Lad might as well be slithering out the door on his belly. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We just need to pay City back in the best way possible. Cost them the title on the last day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 14 minutes ago, Steero113 said: He hasn't left us you plonker???? He is quite literally the only reason we are even in the league let alone talking about Europe, a project and "striving to challenge the top 6". Unbelievable short-sightedness and stupidity. I favour him staying... lets get that clear.....but lets also put some perspective back in to things. If Jack is the only reason we are in the league, we have a huge problem.....if your saying from the past maybe....if your saying now currently, then we have huge problem, one player will not keep you in this League. IMO Emi Martinez would push Jack close for that claim. Jack right now is our talisman and is huge part of our stature.....but I say again, if you think we will be relegated, without him, we have been building wrong and our project has faultlines.....but I don't believe that for one minute. I do believe one of two are overrated, but that can be fixed with financial resource. Even if Jack stays and I sincerely hope he does, we have to move away from relying so much on one player, its a weakness in itself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He single handedly kept us in the league. People would do well to remember that. The reason we were able to buy Martinez, Watkins, Cash, Traore et al is because of Jack.

useless Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I don't get all this talk about it being a choice between trophies with Man City or a statue outside the ground with us, the only way he'd get a statue outside the ground is if he won something like the league or European Cup with us, and even then I doubt it. People talk about Grealish as if he's the only good player we've ever had or ever will have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
