Wainy316 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The problem is, it's all well and good saying we can strengthen in multiple areas with the money but in losing Jack we lose nearly all of our pulling power. It would probably put Bailey out of reach for starters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very surprised if City meet our valuation which has to be at least 130m. Why does it? City know the price - probably be £100m If there was no release clause I don’t think city would have a hope in hell of getting him . whether city would pay £100m I guess depends on whether they think Kane is gettable too I think if city pay £100m they get Jack - but I’m far from convinced they will pay it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the reality is that that order of things can be different, but aren't there 3 basic stages.... Bid accepted Players wants to leave Agree personal terms Pass medical I can't see 3 and 4 (even with sore shins) being an issue,, so the only real things to sort is a bid being accepted and Jack's desire to leave. Unless Jack has told Citeh he wants to join them - it is **** miles away from being done. As for negotiations... Citeh - how much for Jack? Villa - **** off Citeh - would you accept £80m? Villa - **** off Citeh - £85m Villa - **** off Citeh £90m Villa £120m City *** off Villa Okay Finished it off for you 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get him cheap or even discounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 NSWE and Purslow will only let him go for the right fee. I have full confidence in them. Worst case scenario he leaves and we get a ridiculous amount but I doubt city are willing to pay 100m plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change, Man City want him but won’t meet any valuation we have, if any, so Jack stays, signs contract. No change to yesterday, last week or last month. No release clause either.

birdistheword Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 That tweet from Fabrizio is the ultimate hedging your bets tweet. Man City fans are reading it and confident he signs for them, Villa fans read it and think it’s positive news for us. And what ever happens he wasn’t wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 5 minutes ago, Keyblade said: - 4 years left on contract. - Full England international, played and contributed at the Euros. - One of the best players in the league, arguably the best before he got his injury last season. - Arguably the most marketable player in the league right now. There's no reason why we shouldn't set the fee very very high. I'm talking over £150m. No way city would pay anywhere near that They wouldn’t be interested - I believe percy when said he believed there is a release clause and I doubt it would be over £100m as it would be grealish and his agents who’d want it putting in . I think if city pay £100m they get him - for me it’s grealish or Kane as I don’t think they can get both - still far from convinced city would pay £100m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it? We have no idea what the negotiations are doing, it could be anything from one way discussion to full on close discussion and thats if it’s true. Then you’re assuming a lot about Jack.

It's not good business buying when everyone knows you have 100 million knocking about from the sale, NWSE will know this. Which is why I believe they will have no intention of selling him.

They probably overpaid to replace Griezmann but the fact is we would have to overpay to replace Grealish as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 £130m minimum. If Citeh are going to rip our heart out then they need to at least come out with a bloody nose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
