crimski Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm fully in the acceptance stage. Our current squad is so exciting even without Jack and can't wait for this saga to be wrapped up so we can crack on knowing where we are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an odd atmosphere, if still not resolved either way. If he played he would be staying, if he doesn’t he’d be leaving. The heel injury would avoid that and enable this circus to roll into next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 To be brutally honest, I'll be more p*ssed off if Jack stays than if he goes because all this nonsense is just going to repeat every few months ! The biggest failing of last season was having a team built around one player such that when that one player was missing, we fell apart. That is no basis for building a top ten side and I suspect the club knows that and recognise that £100M is worth more to us than keeping Jack if it means we can bring in 2 or 3 more top players in the attacking half of the pitch. We can't lose here so lets just get it done and get the focus back on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If he does leave today I wonder how the club will present it. Will it be a long statement and a Purslow interview, or a short 1-2 sentences and then just removing any Grealish stuff on the website like something out of 1984?

TheMightyVillans Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Got in my head now that he is off today. How I wished we could have seen Grealish, Bailey, buendia, Watkins together. Hopefully we have enough time to get in a couple more people with the money before windows ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very very clear what is happening now. 2 days ago, yeah cool it was all a bit weird and we were hoping for 50/50 but look at it all. He hasn't signed yet so there's always a chance, but it's very clear which way the wind is blowing at the minute. This thread is starting to read like an insane asylum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The club are going to overboard with #thankyoujack etc aren’t they, multiple videos etc. Totally going to misjudge the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It it is true then i hope there are no open letters to the fans.he needs to clear his locker and do one and not look back. Just a footnote now sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 There’s literally nothing in that report. The headline is a brave choice that could blow up in their face, and obviously send us Villa fans into meltdown, but the report itself is pretty crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine just a couple of sentences and then remove him from everything and forget he ever existed would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking is the bit that is bad but it is the heil so it could be a gamble on their part but breaking news is usually never wrong as its breaking.

I thought this time it will be different, a Villa fan (one of our own) ambitious owners, a club on the up….. But whats the point of it all? How on earth are we supposed to break into the top group if all that happens is your top players get there heads turned and then leave? All that will happen is players will get moneyballed and that just continues to break up your progress. I fear we are forever destined to be a feeder club. Three Villa captains in 12 years lured away by the oil mancs.... sickening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've agreed to sell him and he's gone, and that's the end of it. Once it happens, if it happens, he's nothing to us anymore, just another player for a cheating horrible snakey 6 club. He had his chance to be something more and sold it down the river... **** him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
