Vive_La_Villa Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Our fans need to get a grip if he leaves. We’re ASTON VILLA FC not JACK GREALISH FC FFS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm a "bad apple" because I think it strange how people sign up to another team's forum? Yeah you know me so well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Let's just bid £60m for Saka. While clubs are in the business of flouting FFP and "testing resolves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just now, Davkaus said: I refuse to believe that we can't become a better team if we invest £100m on 2 or 3 quality players, compared to everything going through a player that's never too far away from being out for a few months. It won't have the magic of watching Jack dance around Villa Park, but this isn't the end of our owners' ambitions. I've got to agree and have said as much. We can build a far superior team to when he was here. We have ready begun. Minus the one " superstar " , the ego, and constant speculation. Buendia and Bailey would be a great start, whatever money we get for him, gets us at least 2 more very high calibre players. TEAM. This would be more of a morale hit and dissappointment than anything else for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 105m rising to 142 with clauses met:. We’ll probably negotiate something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is their all in, take or leave it. So, leave it. Its not worth it. Provided the terms are right (i.e. that 100m isn't over the next 5 years or something mental) then we find that pretty difficult to turn down. I'm not sure we should do either. We make it clear he's welcome to stay on an improved contract but really feel now the decision is his. He's earned the right with his performances over the last few seasons and with his injury record that some have stated already (injury hit the last 3 seasons) who knows how long his shins have. I highly doubt he's going to have the longevity of a Messi or Ronaldo and play into mid-late 30s. The concern has to be about replacing him adequately. Even with 100m burning a hole in our pockets we won't attract anyone at that level, but we can certainly sign players in multiple positions that will vastly improve the squad and maybe take us forward. That needs to happen or others in the squad will start to get heads turned and we'll find ourselves in this position with Martinez and Watkins next year. It sucks we're in this position but if managed correctly we can still come out of this in a decent position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Very simple contract extension with with 120million buy out clause that expires after 48hrs, if they want him that's the price if not he gets pay rise with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much work to do still in just a few weeks. I'd expect Bailey and Alvarez to be announced straight away and maybe 1-2 more after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Percy also said we were close to appointing Henry as manager. Like with anything, let’s see how the club respond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We can get hostile all we want but Percy' s reputation precedes him. He doesn't do dud stories. City have made their move, if it's the asking price Villa want and Jack wants to go - i see no reason to drag this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will spend the money Jack brings in. These owners didn't buy the club for Jack. We will continue to grow. It will be a shame if we achieve these things without him.

That gets you to the minimum value the club would need to even consider selling. As that's just his rae competitive value. Anything less and we have been robbed.

If we can fetch Bailey in or someone else that could become a superstar quickly at Villa and do similar things to Jack then the loss wouldn't be noticed as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If they accept £100m I’ll be bitterly disappointed with the club and question this so called ‘project’. What a crap summer this has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are under scrutiny and could face further sanctions… I don’t see why they’re prioritising Jack and how they could afford or be allowed to splash out on a top striker too… Hopefully, they will fall on their faces and be found out… financial doping and whatnot… buying the league should not be allowed… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If he goes it will be devastating as a Villa fan. As a football fan I will still enjoy and follow him destroy the best players in Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
