Do we think NSWE will want to sell their golden goose? Did Wes ever receive and reject an offer for Giannis? We need to hang tight, this isn’t over. So what if they made a bid? We can reject it… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Would you want any of them?) I would say unlikely, simply because swap deals are so rare and also most of their players are on crazy money we'd be unlikely to want to match, and that's before having to convince them to come to us without European football to offer.

Do we think NSWE will want to sell their golden goose? To the club,to fans as a player Jack is worth way more than 100m, he is vital to the clubs progress and losing him would be going backwards. Now look at the way Wes Eden's has conducted business with his basketball team, he's far more likely to keep hold of his best stars than he is let them go to some cheating club who want to flash cheaters money at Villa. Our Owners don't need the money and because of that they will say no, a big F'in nooooooooooooooo.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right and yet again we set the precedent of being bullied and selling the player..so if one of those youth players steps up.and reaches the same level, guess what happens. They get sold too. And again backwards we go. On and on and on. Platt, Yorke,Milner,Young, Barry, Grealish See: Carnrey, Louie Barry, Raikhy etc. What's the point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerialThreat Posted July 30, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2021 The comments here about player valuations are spot on. It's not really about the player's ability at all in the end. The fee is just the sweet spot between the buying club's desire to get the player vs the selling clubs desire to keep. Hence why teams can never shift unwanted players for decent fees, as most of the league, especially my team, are finding out right now. For a player like Jack, it's a different story and I reckon Villa can hold out for at least another £20m here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 John Percy has a very good reputation, and I trust him. Does it mean Jack will go? Who knows, but clearly if City are willing to pay £100m+ we have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadridVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Never thought City would bid 9 figures and to be honest, the fact they have says it’s curtains for Jack at Villa. They’ve met the supposed asking price so this is only going one way now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 One thing that can happen now is that the club will have to comment on the bid in every interview. Will be interesting to hear the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The bid is worrying IMO - not because we have to do anything with it, but clubs generally sound out a player about a move before bothering with a formal bid. If the bid is correct, then it seems Jack has an interest in joining City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan501 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 OK guys at what sort of time frame do we expect a response form the club if this bid is true. 5pm or much sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not so sure this is actually true. We've all bought into it immediately because its Percy (me included) but there are wildly conflicting stories coming out from different outlets. I would be astonished if City opened with a £100m bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It's not just about us though, we'd be doing the whole league a favour including ourselves by saying no to City. We may not be stopping them entirely but we'd be haltingthere progress a bit, they see something in Grealish that can benefit them and they know they will be unstoppable for seasons to come if they get there hands on him Villas Owners have to say no at all costs or it'd be like the empre taking over the galaxy in star wars lol.
