The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread

I just hope that after all he's been through with us, he'd have the decency to sit down with Dean and the owners tomorrow and listen to their offer one last time.

Even if he's already decided in his head, I think he owes us that. I'd be disappointed if he spent all this time away and just left without giving the club the opportunity to speak to him in person at Bodymoor.

Problem is, you can't tell if 200 pages have been added because something serious has happened or not.

Fair point, but this isn't where I've been getting my updates on the situation. Since I last read the topic a bid has been officially made, no response has been given as of yet, Jack has landed back in the UK and Wes has arrived from the US for crunch talks with him. The consensus is that we have a week to convince him to stay, or he leaves on a "good faith" clause, whatever that means.

My view is the same as it was with the Man U interest last year - he is torn, he has a million reasons to want to go to city, but he's desperately looking for just one reason to stay.

Only time will tell.

Don't think that'll happen. I think he might even sit down with the club on Sunday.

If Jack does stay then great but he must be 100% committed to the project, we don’t need this soap opera playing out every summer. If his head has been turned , let’s move on and rebuild so we can prove him wrong. UTV!

Only way we avoid that is if there's no release clause in the new contract...

Assuming we even get to that point.

Agreed. A release clause indicates less than 100% commitment. Our best player should be fully on board and not looking to move on at the first opportunity..

This is the crucial year. If we don't get into Europe this season, no one will begrudge him leaving next summer.

Yes they will

I think Jack have much higher aspirations than Europa League, playing in Minsk on a Thursday night.

This is an elite footballer and he obviously is desperate for CL football testing himself against the best teams in the world on the biggest stage.

Now can Smith deliver CL football within the next 3 years?

Don’t think it matters as I don’t believe there is one in his current contract.

Exactly, and if he did stay we’d still need to carry on spending. JWP in this team with Jack and we break top 6 this season.
