Dont shoot the messenger by the way, just what I have been told Leicester May well be interested but now so could other clubs - A bidding war would help push up the fee .

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted May 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2018 I wouldn't want to sell him for £50m. Best player in the division by an absolute mile. We will never get another Jack. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I just don’t see what he gains from going to a club like Leicester, as a Villa fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 He gets a chance at playing for England if he leaves this club. Luckily for us, there is almost nothing to play for international football wise next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton got more wages, champs league footy and a premier league winners medal out of it. Cant blame the lads ambition if he does leave, as hard as it would be for the club, fans and the lad. Alby still goes to Villa games, so his decision won’t have been made lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton was pushed out of the club, basically. Grealish isn’t in the same situation at all (unless FFP kicks in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a decent team, and club. I think he'd fit in well there. Not sure if he's good enough for the top clubs. Does anyone think Jack wants to actually stay at the club? I know we could do with the money, but by keeping him we could gain a lot more than 20-25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the advantages Grealish would gain are basically more money and playing in the Premier League. I’d even argue that he has more chance of winning something (Championship) at Villa than he does at Leicester. If he wasn’t a Villa fan, then a move just upwards makes sense. As a Villa fan though? I just don’t see the appeal unless he’s going to a top 6 contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good inbetween club before the big move. More money, playing week in week out in the prem and probably an england call up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Alan Shearer allegedly said when signing for Blackburn ( who !?)...."every man has his price and they've just found mine" I don't know grealish at all but if this does turn out to be the case then it kinda fits in with the modern day, want it all society we live in and to a degree, if playing football was probably the only thing I was good at in life then I'd cash in too.

They are also a dark horse team for a Europa league place. It would do his England chances the world of good, and add to that financial gain.
