I've said this before, but this is the most unlikely window for Jack to choose to go, we're on the brink of pushing for top6, maybe a cup God willing, should we have such a season I'd say we have got him for life. You can't say that with any degree of certainty. Your not been at all objective. Things we do know to be pretty factual - Man City will challenge for the league, will be competitive in Europe and go deep in the champions league. Villa finish top 6 ? Well, maybe. Most certainly not nailed on. Just trying to be fair. You can't make the case for him staying when the argument is weaker than him going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the first to say OGS was on the plane, I was an early supporter of Barry Bannan, I stalked a certain female snowboarder and I was also caught in flagrante with a certain lady you all seemed happy to message. I was first to bring you news of Torres coming to Villa. In short I know my shit and once shared a car with Jack (less said about that the better). Speaking with my contact he tells me that Jack is hours away from getting a mixed grill from Broadway 2. Thank me later boys. Apologies, turns out Broadway 2 was closed and last seen heading to Deansgate. Which Broadway 2 that is the question 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't just speculate for the sake of it like Sam Lee for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, we can't see around the corner and no Villa fan wants him to go, but if he does, he obviously is not as convinced of the project as much as we are. I think England has altered his thoughts....as it usually does for teams with great players in midtable. Its hard to comment too much, until a final decision is made.....I am bracing myself, for bad news, but I also think every cloud has a silver lining.....and I think ours will be a silver lining, like I say......win/win. Who would have thought losing to Fulham, has landed us here.....never in the reign of pigs pudding, at the time, would we envisage this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fear of us being successful and not be being part of it will weigh heavily on Jack. At this point there is zero evidence that Citeh are definitely Interested other then Pep has expressed his admiration of Jack's ability, fact. There are realistically 3 clubs that Jack could go to, PSG, Citeh and Chelsea, no one else can afford or.need Jack. My personal opinion is that he is more likely to stay at Villa then leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of him staying is far stronger than him going, as many of us have argued. If you don’t agree, that’s fine but it’s not clear cut like you are making it to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 What if Pepe, decides he wants to go home, next season, it is feasible, the time he has been at city.....City's success, relies a lot on him. People's minds change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 This came up on my news feed earlier. As usual, likely an outright lie but it caught my attention regardless as its the first time I've seen such a claim. "The Sky Blues are close to completing a deal for the 25-year-old, who has refused to extend his contract at Villa Park after having his head turned by the opportunity of playing Champions League football at City." https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/transfer-rumours/jack-grealish-to-complete-man-city-move-next-week-aston-villa-losing-fight-to-keep-hold-of-midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
