Let's hope that his love for this great club ties him to this club for many more years and with our owners ambitions he can achieve everything he desires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Here’s Romano contradicting himself - why are giving this tap-in merchant any credit? 1) viral tweet (contract already offered) 2) Contract only offered if negotiations with City breakdown It cannot be both.

Hank Scorpio Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Ultimately if he goes it is because he wants too and wont be happy staying here. The contract means nothing and if he won't be putting in the effort as a result of villa not agreeing a fee, he will be sold. We can't offer what they can now. The main problem is it shows we probably never will, by being forced to sell our best player evey time we become anything like a threat. It would be 2010 all over again, and we know how that ended ultimately, in a slide down the table. Quite simply it would just show that we will never be able to break the monopoly in place as any time we have the nerve to have a good player, he gets taken away. Yes we get money. But it's basically irrelevant as transfer prices for anyone we want will immediately double. It also shows any incoming player we are just a stepping stone, as anyone that comes in will be even more detached from the club than Grealish is. So if anyone can find a positive from this, I would like it explained to me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've known he wasn't a Villa lifer per se, he is a professional after all. He's always been open to the option of moving elsewhere to win things. The difference between him and other players who don't have any affinity for the club is that he didn't leave at the first time of asking. His head was turned, but he still ultimately stayed. Ironically he's in the exact same position he was this time last year, where his head was turned by a far inferior team let's be fair. Wouldn't hold it against him. I suppose you’re right, maybe it’s an accumulation for me. Fool me once, etc etc. I will hold it against him, 10 months after signing a 5 year deal. But I’m sure he doesn’t care nor will he ever know, so I won’t prattle on about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Seems to me that Villa hold all the cards. Even if Jack says he wants out. 200m or nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Back to 11/8 now to stay at villa. Just had another £100 on it. Money for old rope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a £100m clause his agents have done us dirty. No way NSWE would have accepted a fee as they don’t want to sell, this is a gut punch for the project. Sadly the clubs hands are tied this is all camp Grealish. That’s all lies he may well be a fan but his price is cheap he’s a snake Odd, he was going to sign Monday or Tuesday a few pages back, what changed???

He really shouldn't even be in this position if I'm honest, and it's kind of disappointing that we have to go through this whole song and dance every summer. If you sign a 5 year deal, we shouldn't even be hearing anything for at least 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Well, that’s quite a compliment that Man City want our player. Let’s hope Villa can resist. or even better, Jack decides to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on who we bring in - the key is good recruitment - I’ve been here before with Andy gray , platt, yorke and others - we can build better with the right players , that is the key to moving forward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the main reason why I think there is some type of release clause, without it, I'd doubt there would even be a discussion on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
