Both also refer to "sources" who are people in the papers and Skysports making shit up. It's a fabrication spiral. Precisely. All smoke and mirrors. They hide behind ‘sources say’ but they know its just repetition upon repetition of a baseless rumour. Get it right 10% of the time - “We told you first”. Proven wrong 90% of the time - simply print more invented crap to distract from the previous lies and football fans lap it up. They shun journalistic integrity because it drives their advertisement revenue. For that reason, I prefer to totally ignore the vast majority of commercial sports media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advert on my Facebook last night from talksport or BBC was that grealish is now having second thoughts about the move... As if to imply that their made up bullshit from 2 weeks ago wasn't made up its just that he's changed his mind and pulled out of the deal Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 From the Q&A thing with Preece: Wayne1993: Do you think everyone at Villa can convince Grealish to stay? AP: Yes, but it'll be up to Jack himself who's out in Greece at the moment on holiday. Alexwh: Any truth to Jack's buyout clause rumours? AP: He admitted to having his head turned slightly last year when United came in after Villa struggled over the line. It's different this time around; Villa have progressed really well. It's a fresh, vibrant club with a big future under NSWE. Euros has given him a taste for more but I'm sure he'll want to do that with Villa. Does he believe he can is the question. As for buy-out clause; Dean Smith and Purslow have both denied it to me when asked. I reckon the only clause in that contract is a relegation one. So if thats all true we will not be selling full stop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know either, but I always link it to his time at Charlton when they were an up and coming club. Villa were always an easy target for up and coming sides in the past.

Let Man City sell their players to fund a move... And STILL don't sell Jack to them (figuratively and literally)... Give them the rod for their own back and see how good a season they have when they flog a bench-full without being able to replace any of them...

Popular Post The_Steve Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) 13 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: "Deal with the reality" says Danny. "So did he say he wanted to leave Tottenham and wanted the deal done before the Euros?" says Simon "That was the statement he put out yeah" says Danny, dealing with a reality that only exists in his head. He's a strange man and a terrible pundit. Mills has built his reputation from the time he lucked out and joined City before their empire grew to what it is now, for being at Leeds, for fitting the horrible mould of the ‘no nonsense’ English defender. Celebrated for his grit whilst having no major footballing brain or talent to back it up. A bitter man. He was boasting the other week that he took pleasure in trying to injure one of the all-time greats in Pires. He spent the entirety of Spain matches during the Euros lamenting they didn’t bring on Adana Traore - the only player he bothered to research. He’s not erudite nor interesting to listen to. He’s the pub bore of football punditry. Edited July 20, 2021 by The_Steve 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
