I think he wants to come back after he's won stuff, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 £100m - it was nothing more than stopping us as it was improving them. He has no future there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He’ll be back in the City rotation with all of them, he’s been injured. By the looks of it, Haaland will really help with his numbers too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're wrong in stopping us, were never any threat to them Them buying him so he didn't end up at utd or Chelsea is something different though 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anything that would make me angrier than a washed up shadow of his former self, injury plagued Jack Grealish rocking up at Villa Park on what would be massive wages. Maybe he'll stay fit and well but I don't think this is the way his career will play out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangarooVillan Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think he’ll be back at some point. The whole thing is a horrid commentary on the commercialisation and discrepancy in financial fairness across the league. Curious, let’s say Jack wins a CL and a few more PL trophies this year and next. How much would you give to get him? Assuming wages were re negged as that seems like the main sticking point at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans from teams I think had more respect - not just abilities, but the hometown lad, but now, nothing. Just another spoke on the wheel. It was always about showing they could rather than necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on his age at that point, and how long he has left on his Man City contract. He could just wind down his Man City contract and then come to us for free when he’s 29?

Yeah if he rocks up at 35 can't run can't pass always injured etc giving it the mr villa I hope they tell him to do one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree £30 million would be about the mark if he’s still capable and wages are reduced. He’ll be 27 in a few daysand signed a 6 year deal IIRC which would take him through to about 31/32.

Tom13 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 There's no way he's not missing the VP atmosphere. That yesterday was the stuff that money can't buy and I guarantee he felt some sort of positive emotion when we equalised. However, who was thinking about Jack during that match? We've moved on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect won't be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
