It starts with F and rhymes with Puck Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I think Man City are the only team who would buy Grealish, however might their priorities lie elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He builds on it all with every performance and the images go around the world. The hottest commodity in British football. So glad he stayed with Villa. I hope he doesn't leave. What are the chances that a club like Real Madrid or Inter Milan try to sign him? Agree with this but Inter Milan!? Last season they were signing Ashley Young and Victor Moses...and both were starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I saw something years ago where he said (a little tongue in cheek I imagine) that he’d only ever consider leaving the villa for Real Madrid. Not that I believe they’re interested, but I personally believe he’s good enough to play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KentVillan Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 Can't see Grealish ever leaving now. Last season's relegation battle was the turning point. We'll keep building around him, and he'll become an all-time legend like Totti at Roma or Gerrard at Liverpool. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if a player like, say, Olly Watkins, or Matt Cash - they'll improve at Villa, compared to Brentford or Forest, because, in part he's working with better players. Same applies to Jack with England. Southgate's been slow to pick up on how good Jack is, and some of his "reasons" given have been shown to be less than open and honest, but I think if he'd said "I had some concerns over his periods of irresponsibility that I saw when he was with the U-21s and then I saw him break lockdown and maybe that all left a bit of a doubt in my mind, it would have kicked up more of a stink, but focused on Jack instead of on Southgate. I remember Southgate from when he played for us, and he was always thoughtful, intelligent and a good man and good team man. He was also independent minded - he supported the fans point of view about Doug Ellis's penny pinching and small c conservatism. He's a good man. Sure, like I say he's been slow to cotton on to Jack's value to teams now, but he's giving him the chance and Jack's taking it. And fwiw I think Villa as well as Jack and England are benefitting from that. He has improved, and part of that is down to either wanting to impress Southgate and force his way in, or taking on board some of what Southgate's asked of him - (even) more end product. Erm yeah that was the point of all of my post other than the tiny bit you quoted... my point was that it’s clearly not deluded even though there are dozens of posts on here saying it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about this earlier after I made my last comment. I just don’t think the owners would sell unless he specifically said he wanted to go. you can’t replace him, if we had no money in the summer gone it and that bid came in you can see the reason to let him go but when you are half a dozen 20 million pound players away from definitely being a top ten team and looking to make that next step, he is simply irreplaceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to a point, if he doesn't see investment and progress each season he'll go at some point he's ambitious and rightly so, short career as they say. As wierd as it is I would love to see him at Madrid or Barca but only after he's given us another 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I think we should hold out for a billion to be honest , Jack Grealish, the first ever billion pound player... Edited November 15, 2020 by AVFCforever1991 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) He’s a once in a life time player for our club in my opinion. With his age, further potential, passion and skill there isn’t a single player in the world I would swap him for right now. I see the city rumours circulating this morning, I think it’s lazy journalism, they really need to sort out their defensive out as a priority, there not that great a club they don’t have history and they always fall sort at the very top, even Sanè left them and plus Jack has proven money isn’t a key factor in his decision making, plus they’ve had there fingers burnt with one man club players like Jack Rodwell and Adam Johnson before....

Yeah, fair cop Adam. I do disagree with you on your point that Southgate’s coaching both in terms of team and one to one chats isn’t a factor, too. I think it is. Not in terms of Jack’s ability, but in understanding a different system and approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not get carried away. If £110M was offered there would be a discussion. However for the past 4 summers I don’t believe Man City’s net spend has been more than 100m (could be wrong). I don’t think they would offer that kind of amount. I think a lot depends on how he does this season. Continues with these numbers and then sets the euros alight is there a chance a Real Madrid or Barca could come in for him?

John Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Both Manchester clubs linked with Jack in The Express (link below). £70m or even as high as £100m! They are going to need a bigger cheque book! Why would he want to move from a top six team to a mid-table Northern club or to one in the bottom half, in any case? https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1360296/Aston-Villa-braced-for-100m-double-Man-City-transfer-raid-as-Jack-Grealish-bid-eyed-SNT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps up his ridiculous >1 goal involvement per game through the season and the Euros you would have to imagine either Real come in if they can't get Mbappe or PSG come in for him as a replacement. Long way to go before we have to worry about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Why would we accept just £75m? The price last season was £80m. It’s going to be far higher now. Plus, the source is the Daily Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
