Phil Silvers Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 8 minutes ago, chrisvilla4 said: My 10 year old supports man city. I've been fighting for him to support villa all his life. There are green shoots, he's currently wearing the green away top a couple of seasons ago and taking more of an interest. If grealish goes there, I've no chance! If he goes, I feel that part of the soul that still exists in top flight football that isn't monopolised by the big teams will have gone. As someone pointed out. We can only spend so much. Man city can spend £100 mil on one player. Its broken. You can't change him now pal, he's been a fan since not long after they were formed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf he does live in Wilmslow so its pretty much his local club. I actually liked city before they got taken over.

I'd rather he stay, but if he goes, once i've dried my eyes, I'll be quite excited to see how we spend £100m (plus what we have already - another £50m?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference is, instead of a release clause, Kane accepted Levy's word he would sell him if he wanted to leave. Grealish had a release clause put in his contract.

Jack has 4 years left on his deal Loves his boyhood club Jacks currently on holiday We have incredibly rich owners We have been building the team around Jack We’ve been telling targets Jack is staying Club are highly secretive about all transfer dealings we are offering him a massive new contract when he returns We don’t need to or want to sell Looking good isn’t it? A very positive way of looking at it, but if Jack wants to go , Jack will go, do we need a potentially half arsed resentful player, regardless of his back story or £100 mill that we could invest in replacements that are fully focused on moving the club forwards ? There is no doubt he is a Villa man but he possibly wants more than we as a club can offer at this time in his career, it’s a shame but we have to look to the future as a club not as a player.

I just can’t imagine he wants to leave, if he thought we could be competitive in the next 2/3 seasons surely he would stay? Its the club he absolutely loves, his whole family love, it’s more than just liking the club, his whole family going back generations LOVE the club. Makes no sense to me to join City and who would seriously want to play in that rank sky blue coloured kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey2Arms Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 So, is it official that the offer is 90m plus a player? That would mean that there’s either no release clause…or…they haven’t met it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
