striker Posted April 17, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2018 Can’t see him being sold as Villa will go up through the playoffs and then the Premiership team will be built around him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Jack is a big fish in a medium sized pool at the moment. Would he want to become a small one in a slightly bigger one? As one of our own, I would like to think he is more likely to sign a new contract with us than press for a move to somewhere like West Ham. Lets not worry just yet promotion might be just around the corner and we might be the ones shopping for players of the quality of Jack in the next transfer window to play alongside him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they come to sign Jack on a new contract, all they have to do is take him down Roman Rd and say " That is Gabby's House" can you do better than that. Yes Jack, I thought you could......very minimum son. Sign There................................... Edited April 17, 2018 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you get your big move. Think Cahill after a few seasons at Bolton as one of many examples. Also do you really think we have a realistic chance of promotion next season? The Cahill example isn't the same as a] he isn't a Villa fan and b] he wasn't a guaranteed, first choice player (albeit, it was a mistake to let him go). Sure, it worked out for him and he's done well, just as I'm sure it would for Grealish, but is there really that much of a pull for the player to leave first choice football at the club he supports with realistic ambitions of being promoted just to be at any old Premier League club? I'm just not convinced of the attraction given all that. And hell yes - of course we have a realistic chance of promotion next season. You don't think we do?!

Thats a valid point but if we go on thinking like that we will never spend any money. We have had some good buys like kodjia chster hourihane adomah etc and some bad hogan mccormack tishbola. luckily most of our crap buys were under di matteo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 We’re a very ordinary side when he’s not playing or isn’t at his best. I dread to think what we’d be like without him. When Bruce said he wanted to build the side around him at the start of the season, I scoffed...along with many others Well now he is our most crucial & creative player. That’s how far he’s come this season imo Do not Sell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. If the FFP situation is as bad the reports suggest then how much can we strengthen? On top of that we will most likely lose Snodgrass and Terry. Then we have to try and keep hold of Chester and even then need 2 more players for cover at centre half. Adomah being one year older is unlikely to have a season like this one again. Unless Taylor steps up we need 2 new lbs. Are we really going to be stronger than this year to suggest we wil do better next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez cost around £800k and is now one the best players in the Premier league. Hidden gems are out there. Not so easy to find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Leicester offer 20M and he is gone. Hopefully just paper talk. Edited April 17, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Why? Dont think £20m is enough and im not sure jack would exactly bite their hand off Hopefully we think we will get more and the player himself thinks someone bigger will come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted April 19, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well at least Villa would be getting 20m plus for Grealish rather than getting **** all for Albrighton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
