Tommo_b Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 This has taught me something, no media outlets are reliable or know anything in the slightest, they just use copy + paste! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I just hope this doesn’t drag on either way. We still have quite a bit of work to do in terms of bringing in players no matter what happens to Grealish in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Are their any reputable **** media sources? They all just paraphrase one another, assume way too much, and expect everyone to lap up what they say, its pathetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The talks will be quick because we'll have a value and City will either meet it, or they won't. In the event they do, I'm sure our owners would still be offering Jack more reasons to stay and may even persuade him that the vision and project is still on track, before accepting the bid. Think they could persuade him it's worth another season to see where we end up. It sold him last year, and I'd back then to be able to convince him again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) If we sell Jack now I think it's because his shins are f**ked and we know they only going to get worse and we're cashing in now rather than let him stay and basically play less and less games. £100m for someone who has NEVER played a full season. We can't afford to make someone our top paid player by a mile when he misses 10-15+ games a season. Edited July 29, 2021 by stewiek2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'd be aggrieved if we accepted too little for him and shot ourselves in the foot in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Anyone think other targets may not be completed yet until they know what happens with jack. Obv a big draw for players to come and play with him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dorsett saying we value him at over 100m. My key takeaway from that is that there isn’t a release clause. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Cup year coming up, he'll want to play regularly, with us or at City and make the squad and anywsy I can't imagine Jack sulking if they don't match the price.

My key takeaway from that is that there isn’t a release clause. All the furor and panic, and we're actually at the exact same spot we were at the beginning of the window when we were all confident Jack would stay. We hold all the cards, but the media have been trying to give the impression that it's out of our hands. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to make someone our top paid by a mile when he misses 10-15+ games a season. I have also been thinking along these lines. Why would we sell our prized asset and club captain when he's got a 4 year deal remaining? Unless, when he signed on last year it was with a release clause and a written promise we'd listen to offers this summer. I doubt it though. To me, if he leaves it's because it suits our club - not Jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If City have opened talks with us then I guess that means either there isn’t a release clause , or there is but Citeh think it’s too high and want to see if we will budge Presumably we tell Citeh to jog on and put the ball in Jacks court to see if he tries to force a move and hands in a transfer request ?
