villa4europe Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 from the tweets and comments from the purslow meeting last night it sounds like he's bored of even talking about it, fed up of saying that he's not leaving yet here we are again... i think villa fans generate more traffic on this than anyone else 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Ben White is going to Arsenal for upwards of £50m and of course, transfer fees are relative, but the club isn’t going to accept £100m or close to that. It would be the biggest surrender for NSWE to lose Jack. The Sun can get in the bin as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Articles like this that are annoying and apparently we've accepted terms for Jack to leave after the Euros. These guys must have some wicked relationship with our club and Jack's agent. Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Jack Grealish's agents to let the England star leave the club when the European Championships end, according to reports. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9724287/Jack-Grealishs-agents-agree-deal-Aston-Villa-let-England-star-leave-Euro-2020.html Edited June 25, 2021 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2021 The only way Jack leaves is if he agitates for a move in my view. Our owners are minted, do not need the money and no doubt love having the best player in the league at their club like the rest of us. The prestige and coverage he brings to the club whilst we are rebuilding to be a top 6 side is pretty much invaluable to the owners. Any fee raised for JG would largely go straight out the door trying to replace him, and given we are clearly not a sell to buy club at the moment this is not something we need to be doing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth more than we could get for him for us. There is no way we can get a world class player without Europe and he is our biggest marketing pull. Also he is good for 10-20 points more a season for us. In short unless someone offers us 300m ish it is not a really good deal. 2. Jack loves Villa like us and I don't see him rocking the boat this season, if any. But I still hate all the stories that come out, and I get pissed with all the negative fans who try to protect themselves by being giving up and accepting defeat. Absurd, ridiculous statement. 'Negative' fans are protecting themselves from what... the criticism from 'positive' fans like you, who haven't 'given up'?! And how have you not 'given up'... by passionately believing the opposite? You can believe whatever you like, we all can, but it makes no difference at all. If Jack wants to leave and he is fully entitled to do so, then he's off. Same as for every other player since Bosman. I'm not saying it's definite, I don't know any more than you do, but don't waste your time 'getting pissed' at fellow fans for being negative when they are just observing what has happened before and could well happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 "Let him leave" -- makes no sense. A sale is dictated by any given club meeting the set asking price. If Man City or whoever are willing to pay the amount we require (I'd guess north of £120million) then we would sell--same with any player at any club.

gwi1890 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 He’s a villa fan and yes we’ve had villa fans that have left in the past, but I feel Jack loves and gets a kick of going against the grain, he thrives in matches off crowd reaction good or bad and I think he’s enjoying the media reaction to him always staying at villa much to their disappointment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Harry Kane has done the sum total of Sweet Fvck All at the Euros so far, but we're to believe Spurs will make life difficult for City et al, even with bids of more than £150m being rumoured. But we'll "allow Jack to leave" for £100m, because we're Aston Villa, a selling club who should be grateful that the mighty Manchester City want one of our players. They can piss off up the Sancho tree just like their pals from Stretford. Jack has 4 years left and loves the club; if I were the owners I'd be simply saying No. If he still wants to go next summer, I'd shake hands with his agent and say fair enough, but not this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am retaining an open mind on the likelihood that Jack will leave because it definitely could happen. That's not negative, it's realistic based on what has happened with other players in other clubs before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Reminds me of the constant speculation linking to Ashley Young to Spurs the entire time he was with us, tabloids making all kinds of claims. He joined United. They know nothing. I can't see Jack even thinking about Villa during the Euros, or wanting his agents to do anything. After the tournament... maybe he'll review his situation, but he has other things on his mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How it is absurd or ridiculous? for the past 3 years we have seen tons of posts saying "he is off", "bye bye Jack" etc. Based on what exactly? That is right nothing really. And yes I am speculating that people take this approach to protect themselves from hoping and then feel hard done by if he ever left. But the fact is that for all we know he could stay or he could go. However what is very clear is that we don't want to sell and even the Bosmann ruling can't force anyone to sell - just have a look at the Dortmund/Man U and Sancho situation.

Big Salad Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Until Jack his damn self comes out and says he wants to leave and that is confirmed by REPUTABLE sources than I will worry. I absolutely hate 'media' if you want to call them that like the Sun, Daily Mail, and to put an American spin on it, USA Today etc making up stuff or hypothesizing, conjecturing, whatever you want to call it just to get clicks. Unfortunately, they will continue to do so if people keep on drinking the Kool-Aid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it was a one-eyed, tribal gesture with a heap of pantomime. But, the truth smarts. They know that the identikit Abu Dhabi club structure could have been airlifted to any club/city in the major European leagues without a squeak of difference.
