Keyblade Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just dropping this here in case anybody forgot what he said on this matter 10 months ago. I can't see how anything would have changed in this time. In fact since then, we went from a team that survived on the last day, to one that finished the season on 55 points, as well as broken our transfer record for the second time in 10 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomer Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 No idea if he's staying or going But I do know winning even just the League Cup as Villa Captain would mean more to me than any number of Champions League winner medals with anyone else. I hope Jack feels the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives us time to plan what to do with the money and Jack gets to play in front of a packed VP for another season. This pre-season already feels too late now to lose him, due to the Euros etc. Maybe, i dunno! Can't see it. They want him, they want him now. Player who gets his shins kicked to bits. They aren't waiting a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been my biggest critic over the past few days, as quite clearly I’m in the ‘he’s pi££ing off’ camp. But I would like to believe that he would stay.

Xela Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, Johnnyp said: What gets clouded in this is when there's an argument that an elite player like Grealish might feel he's at a stage where he wants to challenge for titles, the counter argument is " ah but he's a villa fan ". Yeah, and..? He's also an elite professional footballer that wants to go right to the top. You're right, but I don't think he'd kick off to leave. We're not run by Doug anymore... with Yorke, we couldn't afford to let an asset like that sit in the reserves. We're now run by proper businessmen, who are billionaires. Ultimately, what i'm trying to say badly, is that if Jack was to go, it would be because we agreed to let him go and the deal worked for us as well... not that he forced it and we had no choice, which was what the Yorke sale was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he decides to go to perform on the highest stage good luck to him. Yes I’d hate to lose him but I’d understand why and wish him all the best - not against us tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less than 6 months since they tried to screw the league over, and they've wiped their arse with the rules. Don't deal with them.

We would have to say to him we want the money and £100m is not going to get him, £150m would be a difficult sum to turn down but even then our owners are determined not to have the heart of team and the progress we have made destroyed for a sum that's less than they have already invested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not deliberately. I'd just say relax and see what happens. I don't know what will happen but my instincts say he's staying. And all the so called smoke and noise is just that at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 i have a feeling he'll stay, but nothing more than that. there is a path to success without jack. what will be, will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 He's worth far more to us than £100m, which isn't even *that* much these days. The board will recognise this better than anyone and the kind of money he brings into the club off of sheer marketing alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 When he signs his new contract, what are we thinking. £250,000 a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a clause or city would not even be pursuing him as they know villa would not sell - as per Percy article on page 2700 he believes there to be a release clause and so do many other journalists . without a clause city wouldn’t even be after him Edited July 29, 2021 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
