PieFacE Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2021 £100m for him is pretty decent business. We probably could have got a bit more had we not put a release clause in the contract, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. Ultimately, I think this will prove to be a good move for all parties in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will no doubt take Grealish to another level. The main gripe (unbelievably) is why would they give Jack the #10 shirt when Messi's available? I mean really?

If Messi was to sign at City for a year (meaning we pass on Kane), I'm fine with that if the plan is to activate Haarland's release clause next year. Haarland's always been my preferred choice to replace Aguero anyway but only in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villas in good hands & Jack missed the boat.. So you’re disappointed that you turned down an opportunity to make a lot of money yet Jack has taken a similar opportunity to make a lot of money as well as other perks. That makes zero sense. He also hasn’t missed anything. We are doing ok but are nothing more than stable as of right now. We’ve achieved nothing yet. Jack won’t regret this decision in a million years and it’s deluded to think he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Think Jack had an inferiority complex amongst his peers because he was at Villa. Disrespectful with his constant twerking for Utd during our first season back. Such an immemse talent and hero to so many but his conduct wasnt the greatest on the whole. Think we can move forward now and be better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His nice words about Villa yesterday was nothing more than PR rubbish but today his words are a deep seated unsubtle dig at his former club. The mental gymnastics in here are incredible Edited August 6, 2021 by R.Bear 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
