Oh that's a good point. I have no idea but I guess that would make sense. Seems kinda odd though. "Well, he doesn't fit in well with the rest of the team so here, you can have him back." Especially if a team already started spending the money that was part of the transfer. But, I do not know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 26 minutes ago, villalad21 said: Mad to think he signed a new Villa deal only last summer. Goes to show how worthless contracts are. Doesn't mean anything. Just pushes the price tag on a player, that is all there is to it. Yeah. That's the whole idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know what the LaLiga regulation was that ultimately killed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think he has signed his contract at City so it’s probably too late. I do wonder if City regret not holding out though. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bunch of videos going over how badly the club as been run for many years now, that and some awful player purchases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the legal jargon, until "performance" of the contract begins, a signature on the document isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Grealish signs new Villa contract at Messi is unveiled. When asked about the pictures of him at Shitty he says his girlfriend was out with Harry Kanes wife and as he was at a loose end he had one of those stadium tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
