tomav84 Posted July 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2021 it's never bothered me much before. gregg can't help not being given any valid info from villa. but it's starting to get on my tits. just had a gander around other teams transfer articles, none of the speculation that we get in ours. looking at the comments, he's started getting a bit of stick underneath his articles now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny when he does a collab article with another journalist you can tell the bits he writes because they're so crap. A friend of a friend is a journalist for The Athletic and lets just say Gregg isn't rated in the business either Now, now, Stevo, no need for malicious gossip.

OxfordVillan Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 1 hour ago, brummybloke said: How many new fans will jack generate from this euros and next year's World Cup? I would say half the kids at school probably will have Jack as their favourite player by the end of the euros. That means that some of those go on to support villa. A bigger fan base means more commercial revenue. Casual football fans who support a team due to a player This would be the first time we have a ' star' who will generate his own wage and then some. Has a good world Cup and all of a sudden he's in Beckham marketability territory. It's ultra important we keep him for both footballing and commercial value. Man City isn't a project any more, its a buy everyone good from a rival, steam roller. The fun and excitement has ended for fans. It's now a see how many points we can win the league by pretty much year on year. With the money jack will earn here, there or where ever, I think first and foremost is that he wants the excitement of playing and winning. At man City the excitement of winning when it's expected every game would soon go and there is also no guarantee he would be playing anywhere near the amount he does at villa. The ball is in villas hands in keeping him. Sign 2 or 3 players to push us on and we qualify for Europe, he stays and is happy. Tread water or go backwards, he leaves. So signing 2 or 3 more big players this season for a further £100 million could pay for itself many times over after the world Cup. Good post. Who was the last player to sit on the England bench and have his name called for by the fans in the stadium?! Jack is now already a huge commercial asset in the game, that will only grow. Villa simply cannot afford to sell him. End of. He’s already got the hearts and minds of the British public, he’s the only name ppl want to talk about. With hopefully 3 more games left of the Euros, he could well cement his place amongst the elite. Neutrals and casual football fans across Europe will be wearing Grealish shirts.

PieFacE Posted July 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2021 Gregg Evans is utterly useless. How he's got the job he has at the Athletic is beyond me. Would honestly think James Rushton would do a better job. Doesn't really have any sources at Villa but talks a lot of sense. Anyways, as for Jack, wouldn't believe anything Gregg says about him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
