I think most players continue as they are until the deal is agreed. Unless they do something like Kane has to force a move. I don't think the deal is complete at this point. Absolutely not. I believe its being negotiated in the background and Jack will remain professional until its solved one way or the other. But you think he’s going but I don’t understand based on what?

You do realise that the earth does not revolve around JG10? & if it is I am glad the players have a bit a fight in em' about this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called living in dream land. Doesn't work like that. Who said he needs to be present. This will have been probably going on weeks if not a month or two already.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 16 minutes ago, Awol said: Not really. My latest evidence free working hypothesis is: A new contract at Villa is on the table. He’s been back for a few days so if staying was Jack’s first choice it would’ve been done already. Logically the only reason for this being strung out is Citeh failing to meet whatever valuation Villa has put on Jack, be that the mythical £100m clause or whatever. Jack is tiptoeing around like the star in a proof of life video because he wants to go, he knows we know that, and Citeh, having put him in this position, are now doing their finest souk trader impression trying to bargain the price down. Things will get progressively more awkward until Citeh either meet his valuation or he gives up leaving and signs a new contract out of sheer embarrassment. This or the deal is done but city have agreed for it not to be made public until we have suitable replacements to avoid us being bummed with transfer fees. That would also explain why he’s doing something resembling training. You can guarantee if this gets to the weekend he won’t be involved against Seville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orrrrrr he’s been on holiday all week and not spoken to his agent or lawyers about contracts up until yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's barely kicked a ball. Though, haven't really seen anyone doing much with a football from the videos we've seen. He's just come back from holiday. None of the players would have done contact training (maybe light ball work) when they come back off their holibobs. He's about 3 weeks behind the majority of the squad (those that had a free summer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same again....Do you honestly think Jacks agent has been sitting on their backside waiting for him to come back off holiday? The only thing Jack needs to do is decide and sign the contract. This will have been going on for some time already if it's close one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Imagine being an Aston Villa fan (that bits easy we all are) and being offered £200k a week to play at the club where you are practically hero worshipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what if it hasn't been going on for a month or two? What if we spoke to him about a potential new contract before his holiday but then whilst he was away we received a bid from the $hitholes and are now discussing a totally different contract with him? Either way, you don't just get off a plane and then the next minute sign a record breaking contract. His agent would be in talks for at least several days.

Chindie Posted August 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2021 My suspicions Citeh have bid but the structure doesn't meet our requirements - either they don't meet the valuation we've set or the way it's being met isn't to our liking. Grealish has our contract offer and is fully aware of what Citeh will offer. There's probably not much in them. I suspect we've sweetened the deal following the bid. All things being considered Jack wants to go but he's not so completely set on it to burn his bridges. He's in a pretty good position -either he moves to win some bought trophies and gets to be an even richer man, or he can stay here and be a very rich man where he's already a bit of a legend and in a year we'll do all this again. He can't really lose. The other option may well be that we've accepted he's off but the stalling is to get our ducks in a row before every transfer becomes 20% more expensive. Either way I lean towards him not being here in a months time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
