Jas10 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Can’t we just sell the whole “first team” & fringe players, at least try and strengthen at CB if poss and chuck the kids in around Jack? Oh and also get him to sign a new 5 year contract? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Bruce has said selling Grealish is 'inevitable'. Why would he say that if it were even slightly possible that we may not need to? Edited July 14, 2018 by A'Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had a soft spot for Spurs, so many class player's. I really hope Jack fills that potential, if so, then the sky's the limit. I have never understood fans wanting to see our best players flourish at other clubs. Soft spot or not, how does it benefit us? (Aside from possible sell on clauses) I'd much rather see our best players flourish HERE, and help us to flourish. ESPECIALLY a home grown player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Why play him then? I understand having to get him fit but if he is for definitely leaving why risk a long term injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2018 There's not a chance he's staying. We need money, he's one of the few saleable assets we've got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Be nice if we showed a bit of front at the negotiating table with spurs and ask them to chuck carter-vickers into the deal for a season. I think stoke will get Chester. We are gonna be desperately short there and for a 20 year Carter-Vickers has played a nice amount of games in the championship. Sheffield United's season actually went tits up when he left. He ain't getting a game for spurs anytime soon. Oh yeah and we want winks aswell.!!!!

mikeyp102 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 So he’ll go to Spurs shine and get selected for England. All the bullshit media will say that it is all down to spurs and how they have developed him, we’ll never get a mention. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know who will be doing negotiations our side? Levy will have him over the table within minutes. ...in fact if we can avoid paying jacks wages for the first year I'd consider that a win!

I know he learned his craft here. I won't get hung up over Jack and that's not meant in a sulky way. Fantastic player, attitude and work rate phenomenal this season, but he will leave shortly and we must get ready to focus on all things villa and we have a trying season ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some strange reason the media have a very bad impression of Villa, we never get any praise off them. For an example during the World Cup, ITV did a piece on southgate, they talked about his time at a Palace and then Middlesborough. Never mentioned his time at Villa (and the fact that it was Gregory who made him a cb). Im not hung up on Jack going, that’s football and unfortunately as a championship club we’ll always have to sell our better players. But I am hung up that the media doesn’t give fair praise when it’s due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
