ben1505 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 One thing I don’t understand is why would he be asked to do what is essentially a pointless training session if he was nailed on to leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, Villaphil said: Under MoN we finished 6th, 3 years in a row, whilst simultaneously paying the 6th highest wages in the league. If we’re looking up the table we have to pick up the salaries of the players that will get us there. Better players = higher wages = higher league position. Who knew?! Notifications on for the official site today, hopefully get a “morning Villans” not “we regret to inform”. Only way this drags out is him wanting to go but Citeh refusing to meet our valuation (which increases by £10M every time the figure is reached - forever).

PieFacE Posted August 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not that I should be telling anyone what to think or how to feel, but I do think with all the rumours yesterday and seeing Jack in the training gear, there's a lot of false hope doing the rounds right now and people are totally not prepared for him to leave. If he decides to, which I really hope he doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a purely financial perspective, is there any scenario where rejecting £100m for an asset and then paying that asset £200k p/w makes any sense? Even qualifying for the CL or whatever doesn’t really cover that does it? And we then consider how unlikely it is we will even qualify for the CL. I think we are possibly ignoring the fact that £100m is a truly insane amount of money and the wages Grealish is no doubt demanding will be insane. Yeah definitely thought about it. On top of that I think the way Jack plays it’s only a matter of time before he picks up a serious injury with all the fouls he receives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallied by the news of Bailey, then suddenly rumours start circulating, he appears at training and everyone is back to square one. The training session might have been a big mistake if he is going. I’m a sensible person, my head knows he’s going but even I got sucked into the irrational optimism based on absolutely nothing of any credence.

Keyblade Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 To be honest, the training session was the most concrete "indication" of anything really. It's the first time we've seen something happen on the Villa side. Before that it was City putting a bid, and then wild speculation about Jack's intentions.
