They've been having a medical for days so I'm not convinced that is true plus they arent going to be like a doctors surgery and say whoops you missed your doctors appointment no deal. If he asks for more time, he'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously wants to go or he wouldn't be going. Even if his family are trying to persuade him to stay he still wants to go. Dont think I'd want him here on that basis.

LondonLax Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 23 minutes ago, Phil Silvers said: So they spoke to our player and agreed terms with him months ago. Tapping up........ Currently, under FIFA and FA transfer rules, if a club wants to procure the services of a player registered with another club, they must speak directly with that club and not to the player or his representatives. The player and his representatives will only be brought in for discussions with the potential purchasing club once the two clubs have agreed a fee. This could be 200m by the NWSE finish with them. We did the same to Buendia according to this source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tweet is 99.9% bollocks like they all are, but if on the off chance it's true then I'd rather Grealish left. He's one player, he's not greater than the team and it's not up to him to dictate things to that extent. If his head was really that big I'd take the money and run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is being run well, we are on the dramatic rise, great owners, the manager loves me, I'm the best paid, I play for my country. The club are bringing in quality after quality into the club and for some reason I want to leave. I understand all the City reasons but to leave the Villa now.....I cant work it out and I hope he doesnt, I think he may regret it on several levels. You cant imagine why he would want to join one of the biggest clubs in the world, surrounded by world class players, with an all time great manager, playing in the CL, guaranteed to win trophies and potentially one of the biggest players in Europe? And what "dramatic rise" are we on? We finished 11th last season. I understand people are sad that he's leaving but how can anyone possibly be shocked or even surprised that he wants to take this massive opportunity? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine at this stage the fees are what they are in the expectation Jack’s going. The final confirmation won’t matter. According to all sources it’s 99% done that Jack is off, so Saints aren’t going to add £5-10m once the departure is confirmed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him missing 1/3 of the games which would have seen us finish top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
