We aren't the first club's fans to demand an insane price for their star player and we won't be the last. I have been on many a message board and chuckled when linked with a player. Jack is everything to this team though, with him we stand a chance without him we are Bolton. Technically without him we were 5th (as of December/November maybe) and with him we rose to 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will not happen. There is that middle ground between the £15-£25m with loads of adds ons that the scenario can swing between depending on who is the most desperate. That's the area you'd be looking at IMO. 30-40m is well over the top for Grealish. You pay that for world class players, and he's still not proven to be a consistent performer at the highest level. He could very well go for 30m though. No chance you will get him for less than 20m. Other clubs will be interested, and I can see him going for at least 20m and that's with add on's. Very young and talented player, so we won't sell cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don't think we can even turn away anything north of 20million to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment 20 million gets put on the table for him, Xia will take note. He will want as close to 30m as he possibly can, but 20m is the trigger point.

Which world class players have sold for £30m recently? Maybe if they had half a day left on the contract you'd have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) youre paying for his ceiling and then hoping youre the club that gets him there Thats why i think he is worth more than the likes of maddison and maybe even sessegnon Edited May 31, 2018 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted May 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2018 He’s worth whatever clubs are willing to pay. If we can whip up a bidding war then I’m sure we’ll receive over the odds for him despite our plight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Everton paid Swansea £40m plus addons for sigurdson and I think Grealish is in that level of player - the market is crazy and clubs are paying silly money for average players these days - aim high but don’t take less than £25m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cizzler Posted May 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2018 He was phenomenal after he came back from his injury, a much better player than I ever realised for sure. But considering he's been at Villa since he was 6, getting about 5 months of consistent football (in the Championship, no less) would be a shocking return on a player we've invested so much in. He'll be 23 at the start of the next season. If a Champions League club came in, it's impossible to begrudge him the move. It's the move to a West Ham or a Leicester that would really sting. I mean fair play to Leicester, that fluke Premier League season was an unbelievable thing - but I really can't see them doing anything else for a while (Mahrez will go, and even with him their football under Puel is horseshit). If he moves to a bang average Premier League team, it's for money, nothing else. There's not an international football tournament next summer, so his England prospects aren't as big an issue as they could have been. Michael Keane would have gone to the World Cup if it was last year. I just can't see how he's hamstringing his career by staying one more season. He's going to be the main man at a team which is going for the title. I think he owes us one full year, and if we fail again - that's fine, he can go anywhere and I'll wish him all the best. And I'm not having it that selling him is our only option of complying with FFP. There has to be other ways. If there truly is no other option than choosing between a points deduction or selling Jack Grealish because we spunked silly money on dross like Ross McCormack and Scott Hogan, then Wyness and Round should lose their jobs. It's that simple. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 He can become a club legend of he stays and we progress with him. I think the smart thing for him will be too wait till January at least and see where we stand. I'd we're in the promotion mix, might as well see it out. No point signing for Leicester or West Ham when we can be right there with them next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Grealish over his entire career (including reserves/u21 etc) he has played 192 games, scored 20 goals with 31 assists. People keep saying his end product will come but his best ever season is still 2013/14 when he was on loan at league 1 Notts County. He might be running around a bit more but he is still incapable of creating anything on a regular basis.

The problem when you just look at a couple of stats and not watch the game, you don't see the talent in front of you. He has been excellent and clearly will be superb in a better team.. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Got to remember he had half a good seaaon in premier league and this year's been the year where he has been really good consistently. I'm not sure how good he could be but 40m for me is a fanatstic deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the 4th best team in the league, He should have been superb for us, Especially against some of the absolute shite in this division. At least 3 other midfielders in our team created & scored more than twice as many goals, As an attacking midfielder that is pretty much his job... If he is as world class as the 50 million nutters are shouting about he should have dragged us out of the league on his own, He didn't, despite playing in a team with far better players & far more experience than just about every other team he came up against. If he is so vital how has only managed to play the full 90 minutes for us 29 times in 2 full seasons, Incidentally we have only won 12 of those games...

That’s because Everton were stupid enough to pay it. I can’t see any club offering as much as 40m for Grealish. I think we would do well to hold out for 30M. Personally I’d rather we just kept him. He is the only entertaining thing about the team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
