Vancvillan Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Also does that mean @kevangrealish comes back to VT if he leaves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) How could he say anything other than he did? The relegation fight isn't over yet. I'm open minded about him furthering his career but I don't think that reaction was quite as conclusive as people are saying. We do need to fight to stay in the Prem still. If he ever was to stay he'd clearly need us to be a decent prem team, and he'd want guarantees of significant signings. That kind of conversation isn't going to happen now. Anyway, we need to finish the first job on Sunday and that is all that matters right now. Edited July 22, 2020 by Rolta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just now, Vancvillan said: Also does that mean @kevangrealish comes back to VT if he leaves? And put up with us all calling him a soft, diving prick when he goes down too easily against us? Remember the vitriol against Ashley Young when he did the same? I'd love to see Kevan back, but for his own sanity and wellbeing he'd probably want to stay away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only chance is the Villa get in players that can challenge the top half of the table & that we stay up of course. On the other hand, the money would help rebuild properly.

tinker Posted July 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2020 Letting Grealish go if we stay up sends a message to the rest of the squad that if they want to further their career then they need to leave. It's a lesson we should have learned from the past. Millner , Young , Benteke. If we stay up then we need to keep him and spend another £50-£80m. We would be better served getting rid of Ming's , who does not impress me and keeping Jack to build a team around , if we go down then Jack goes. Smells of Man City to me and he won't be cheap , Reckon we are looking at £80-£100m but even at this price for me he has to stay if our owners want to compete in the PL.

Hobbit Feet Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He’s off. Can’t blame him. He’s a gem and he’s done nothing but good for us. He carried us at such a young age, dragged us back to the premier league almost single handily. Just happy we are hopefully staying in the premier league and we can get too draw money for him, because replacing him is going to be so hard and next season even tougher without him.

mikeyp102 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Why was he even asked if leaving? They wouldn’t do that to other players. They should’ve been focusing on the win. Sky are rocket polishers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I took his answer at face value. He doesn't know if he's staying. How can he when he doesn't know if we're staying up, what our plans are for next season, and who will meet our asking price. One thing I will say is that, if we stay up and he does go (maybe along with Luiz back to City) we have a massive rebuild on to find the right players to keep us up again. Suso better not have anything to do with it. I really hope he stays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Tim said if Pepe is worth 70 million then Jack is worth 170. Rest of the studio laughed at him. They really shouldn't. Around 7 minutes into the video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_82 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If Jack decides to move on then fair enough, he deserves the opportunity but if we do stay up then the owners need to get round him quickly and tell him the summer plans as replacing him will be so much harder than I think some on here realise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wouldn’t have expected any other answer, and I think there is a lot more truth in his answer than we think - ie a lot depends on, if we stay up and who comes in for him, still all to play for from our point, stay up and show him we can improve he will stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I really think Jack want to take it to the next level and play Champions League football so i don't think staying up will matter much. Unless we get in someone like Pochettino he isn't staying. Will most likely be another relegation scrap next season. (if we stay up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 At the end of the day, it's down to the owners. What's to say they won't turn around at the end of the season and offer to double his wages. It would give him something to think about at least. All dependent on us staying up of course.

Where we finish next season will depend on who is manager, who stays, who leaves, who we sign. Unless somebody has a crystal ball none of us have any idea how next season could potentially go.

Reivax_Villa Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don’t think that our owners will be willing to let him go without a fight if we stay up.. But he deserves to move on and play for a better team with a higher ceiling. Only team that can afford him will be City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was him batting it away. He said he wasn't sure and immediately said his only thought was keeping us in the premier league and changed the subject. I think he'll go, but people are reading into 4 words far too much, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
