Probably, but involved in that aim would be playing some games for Villa for fitness/giving a reminder to Southgate. It is amazing how he's not an autoinclusion though.

M_Afro Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I am starting to get a bit concerned that our terrible end to the season may make Jack think it’s time to move on. It certainly won’t help. Jack is going to want a chance of winning trophies at some stage and we look a million miles away from that. Maybe the lack of money post C-19 may save us but it is a bit worrisome.

Hardly any clubs could afford him and the ones who might will probably be a bit concerned with his injury record and off the pitch adventures. He is at Villa for a long time unless we do something stupid like getting relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I heard he could have continued to play and had treatment/surgery in the summer but would have missed the start of next season. So the decision was made to deal with the issue now in the hope he can return near the end of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Did anyone hear Lescott after the game on BT last night. He was talking about Jack not being around next season and how Villa need to learn to cope without him. I think they want him at a top club more than he wants to be at one!

Not sure how true it is but I guess with us being safe from threat of relegation it was important to avoid making his injury worse. I personally think we won’t see him again this season but Smith seems hopeful he will play again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'He is just around the corner'. 20 minutes later still no taxi. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted April 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2021 Someone tell Lescott that Jack's not leaving. I'm sure that will take some weight off his shoulders. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The club are already making transfer plans based on him leaving in the summer, so whilst I'm sure they want him to stay and will do their best to keep him, for us to be drawing up plans based on him not being with us, they must feel that there's a possibility of him leaving.

Percy is a pretty good journalist, I'll give him that, but personally whilst I'm sure they have a plan in case they need it, I'd be very surprised if the club were welcoming offers.

useless Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Edit: I've just reread the article and it doesn't actually say that. So I misremembered it. This is the actual quote... 'Villa will clearly have a contingency plan in place if Grealish is sold, with Dean Smith working closely with sporting director Johan Lange.
