So what if they made a bid? We can reject it… Giannis was at the end of his contract, so he was free to leave anywhere. Wes and co went all in, gave him the supermax deal and stripped the club from any valuable draft picks and got Holiday to give enough support to Giannis. It was a huge achievement and Wes was in the middle of it. I trust he'll play this one right too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Percy’s a tap-in merchant. Just now, Phil Silvers said: Percy has been quiet for days, maybe some YTS kid Is filling in for him Percy probably does have the best little black book but his surely his contact doesn't have access to the amounts quoted. Highly suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Think of it like this 150 million is 30 million a year over a 5 year deal. Grealish is worth much more than that. Why would we sell for that much? Id want at least 200 million. And I'd probably still be upset with 250. **** City, they can't buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wonder how the bid is structured, guess it's not a flat £100m paid in full in one go. Counter offer or flat rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any club has the right to demand whatever price they want for any of their players. It's then up to a buyer to match that fee. It doesn't matter what Paul Pogba once went for when talking about how much Grealish is worth to Villa. Not many clubs have a Grealish, a world class player who is “one of our own”, they just don’t get it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
string28 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Its not a bid its an offer thats what im finding strange with this story. If they where 100% why not just bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just to put the fee into context? Wasn't our entire club valued at about £50m about 10 yrs ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned all morning 100m possible valuation, seems odd percy now comes out with 100m, everyone has been hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, bobzy said: 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. Or Jack’s agent has. I still think this is Smith-Rowe all over again. The player wants to stay and is willing to sign a bigger contract but the agent is shopping him around telling clubs he’s willing to move to drum up a better contract negotiating position. Having said that the money on offer from City must be starting to be tempting for the owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep him Bucks had to go all in as most teams do to keep their superstars. Giannis saw that and signed an extension worth ~260 million 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If we sell him i think we can kiss goodbye any designs of being a top 6 side any time soon. What good is 100 mill when other clubs will over-inflate fees because they know we are loaded and we could end up with some real crap players like last time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence that they only used players without the letter E in their surnames to model the kit methinks. Not a chance that we accept £100m in my opinion, £150m maybe.

Hanky Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We must have a plan here, two weeks before the season starts and this could seriously disrupt the rest of pre season unless sorted pretty quickly. We’d also need to spend the money (this is all assuming he actually leaves). if we were to accept a bid, I wonder how much the club are considering his injury record and the fact it was a similar injury a couple of seasons ago. All hypothetical of course. They may have no intention of accepting any bid. What is for definite is that it needs sorting as soon as possible.

Sad, wouldn't waste my time on another team's forum....guess they don't have much going on in their lives! Interesting. I find most people on VT to be welcoming and keen to chat football with people from outside of the Villa bubble. It provides a different perspective for everyone. (At least that was my experience last year when I signed up to give you lot the low down on Emi Martinez.) Guess there are always a few bad apples like you in every walk of life though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Giannis example is pointless. American sports are set up to allow teams to offer massive deals to try and get stars to stay. And basketball in particular is a sport where 1 man can turn a team into a championship contender. It's not the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
