withes_shin Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Maybe Onomah put a word in for Jack at Spurs? Weren't they close friends from their time together with England before Onomah came in on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where he would fit currently in that spurs side though, he is way off dele ali standard atm. Agree with this. In terms of how Spurs bring on young players (in particular English) how they play football and also with a top manager. I think this would be a dream move for him. I hope he really goes on to the be the player we think he can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Spurs can do one. They have one of the youngest, most talented midfields in the country. Last time I checked they could be successful in midfield for another 10 odd years without needing to add. I can't blame them for coming in for him, Jack's class and is worthy of a future at any club. Just shits me if we're going to lose a bit of Aston Villa's pride to a Spurs team that is competing in a way I imagined for us. Just highlights the misery of recent years, and I say that also being grateful and optimistic for the club. We're not gaining ground losing players like Jack to what should be our immediate rivals. Especially if our concerns are financial rather than how the player fits. That's no longer football but enterprise and commodity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I heard he was off to Spurs yesterday actually. Nothing concrete, just something I was told. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If we have cash bills to settle soon then maybe the best advice we are getting is to arrange Jack's sale in order that the club stays out of administration while it is sold. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just gutted that because of our owner, we not only won't get to see his potential in a villa shirt, we also won't be able to reinvest. Selling the best academy player we have had in a generation to just pay off the bills is right up there with lerner relegating us and some of the shit under Doug. For me, this is one of the things that means no way back for xia. **** him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It makes financial sense to sell him now before someone sells him on our behalf. Good luck to the kid, his form and attitude this season have earned him premier league football. It won't be nice seeing him in a spuds kit though. We need to do it quickly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Can’t see Spurs paying what we would value him at or what we may even need ... be amazed if they even went as high as £10m everton are usually the suckers for paying high prices , let’s hope they are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a buyers' market, we're in no position to hold out and hope for a bidding war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 For sure selling off Jack, is like putting salt on the wound. The trouble with times like this and why they should not be considered is what gets us out of the shite selling Jack inadvertently gets us deeper in it. Everyone in life makes calculated gambles, it makes the world go around.....but who would put their house on red on a roulette wheel. Yes , its not far off what we have done. There is a meeting tonight in Birmingham for the (non villa fan) Sympathisers......Its in a telephone box on the corner of corporation st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjay Posted June 6, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2018 Read on twitter that before all this kicked off Villa valued Grealish at £40mil? Living in cloud cuckoo land, 10-15m tops imo, potential is there but less proven then the lad at Norwich who they want £20mil for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
