Okonokos Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 He hasn't been back home yet so can't have met with Nassef, Wes, Christian, Johan and Dean yet. Maybe he's meeting them Monday morning and maybe they'll blow him away with an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GENTLEMAN Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just now, Kiwivillan said: People can say how good he's been for us and thanks for all he's done but this is leaving us in the lurch massively. 5 year deal signed last season believes in the project, my city my club. Total bollocks. This is as bad or worse than Delph and up there with MON walking out. I'll be just about done with the PL. City financial frauds getting away with murder and nothing done about it. Yes this is where my 'disappointment' is. Feels like this has been a consideration for him and his team for a while, working in the background. Villa seem to have been confident that he would stay. 12 months into a new 5 year contract. "Excited for the ambitions, etc." Feels like we've been a doormat. It has all been about him. Getting him fit for Euros. Putting him over. Holidaying whilst this all goes on in the background, surely with his knowledge. All the while the club preparing for a season with him. This one was suppose to be different. One of our own. Boyhood fan. Owners that were willing to build the team around him and try to compete. But don't give up man. The team, the colours, the history, the community, the spirit, VP. City cannot buy that. I pour my love and admiration into that. We have those who remain that are willing to still fight and compete for this club. We have those that are still to come and those that are still yet to reach their potential. NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THIS CLUB. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 As soon as his brother deleted his Twitter, I knew we were bang in trouble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree the club aren't nothing without him. However we would've been relegated last year without him. So he does play a pretty major role in who we are. Which is exactly why we need to become a team without Grealish! Edited July 30, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 £100m 5 years ago was “crazy money”. Today it’s nowhere near. Cantwell/Sarr is not the answer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Remember I said this wasn’t on Vila this was all camp Grealish. What I’ve said was laughed at but it’s all looking likely now as the story bleeds out. don’t lose faith in the project we’re not a selling club overnight our hands have been tied on this by Stella and Grealish. he’s not the hero we all thought he was move on, the club is bigger than any player support the club not the players utv 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarr and Bailey would be good. Sadly I don’t think any player will fill the gap left by Grealish leaving, but we have to do better than Cantwell. As a squad player ok, but we’d not exactly be competing with top 8 PL teams to bring him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No individual should be the answer. That’s the point. We need a TEAM. Not a Jack Grealish + the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Leicester will probably never have players as good as Kante and Mahrez again but they have a squad of very good players which is why they are still doing well. We need to do the same. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Considering you get more than £100m for staying up and our record without him is pretty much relegation form this is terrible timing. Clubs now also know we have money if this goes through so over inflated prices in this current market is going to be another factor. Honestly we are better off forcing him to stay another year atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The speed of the bid going in to him having a medical definitely seems to confirm the release clause. I suspect Purslow won't be so keen to be visible for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does increasingly look like a release clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
