He's off - and Xia creates a hint of a sale (without much substance) to appease us - seems most likely. The timing and our need for cash would suggest that Xia has caved in on the price - @£20m tops..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 He ought to be priced above Maddison but then our financial position weakens what we can demand, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Gutted he will be going but you can't blame, especially to a club like spurs. At least we can look forward to seeing him in an England shirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighavfc Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Lets pray to god the club gets sold and we are able to keep Jack for another year at the very least, i cant bare the thought of him playing for someone else !! Saying that i wouldn't hold it against him if he decided to go anyway, i believe he is going to be a top top player in years to come and he needs to do whats best for him and his career. To think we may only have him in form for 6 months is terrible, typical Villa ay! He may even save the club by being sold, which would push him into legendary status without really doing a hell of a lot ! Imagine him in the Liverpool or Spurs teams He would fit right in imo, and will only get better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact of the matter is we need to make FFP right... and hes the only way at the moment. Hes forced out imo. it's not, its just that we can't afford colour pictures any more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 If he goes because he wants it himself and isn't forced out it's a bit easier to come to terms with it. It's still because of the missmanagement and failure to get promoted that he will leave though. I read some rumours about Terry having played a part in his decision, thanks for that John (if true).

John Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 If Jack is sold for quick cash I worry it will only prop us up until the next crisis comes over the horizon in a few weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 This thread is grim reading, I think it’s always been a case of when not if of him leaving, he’s an outstanding football talent who i’ve seen develop. No player is bigger than the club though but he still hasn’t gone yet and might not (who knows?). I haven’t seen his brother in Solihull town centre for a few weeks so can’t get an inside scoop unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Withe, no doubt, even Savo, has more qualifications for the hero status, I mean that was some goal for a Wembley final. Jack is one of our own, but I'm afraid that doesn't make him a hero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I would hope that the people making the decisions realise this too. If (and it's a big IF) Tony either sells up or gets some investment, then even if we only get money to pay the bills for the next 12 months, the club can give the impression that the finances are all fine, which puts us in a much better bargaining position when it comes to player sales. A bit of forward thinking is all we ask for. Remember when Lerner wouldn't stump up the £6m for Cresswell when we were on that constant hunt for left backs? Instead we bought Bennett, then Luna, then Cissokho, and probably another 4 leftbacks I've forgotten about, when we could have just bought Cresswell for £6m and sold him for £20m 4 years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him going there and struggling for decent game time. I think he'd be a better fit at Liverpool as their replacement for Coutinho. Mane, Firmino, Salah and Grealish would be lethal for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
