The reason we will sell him is because we can't spend this money in the first place. Spending the money would just put us in this same position, may as well keep jack.

The nail in his coffin was Steve Bruce being kept on last summer, awful football dinosaur. Bruce is fair game for many things but not this. When Bruce arrived Grealish was still very much billy big bollocks going off the rails and since then he has really knuckled down, trains hard and looks after himself fully focused on his career and improving his game and that has shown on the field where he has played his best football over the last 6 months or so. Both on and off the field Bruce is a major factor in Jack starting to realise his potential. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly be better than just selling him so we can pay the bills but I still wouldn't be happy. I'd be more gutted about him leaving than any other player that has ever left. The thought of seeing him in another teams shirt is too much to handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Well if he truly loves the club and the owners are some how able to afford to keep him and not breach FFP. He should be having a meeting with them before he makes in decisions. I personally think he’d be crazy to turn down Spurs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Think we’ll know more about jack’s future in the next 60 minutes when today’s team against burton is announced. if he’s in the team, I reckon we’ll keep hold of him for this season. Rumours are Spudzzz want this completing ahead of their preseason tour. (Also wonder if they’ll pursue Zaha now instead after his alleged rejection of a new palace contract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still under the transfer cloud though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I really don’t want him to go but can’t help thinking it will stiffle his progression as a player if he stays Also players who play championship football have very little chance of making it into the England squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he is that good he won't be a bit part player. And if he becomes a bit part player maybe he's not as good as we all make out. I do not deny he is the best player at the club right now but in all seriousness, the bar has been set pretty low over the past 6+ years hasn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support Aston Villa not Jack Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to factor in that they already have a top 4 squad, who is he going to replace and keep out of the side? First drop in form and he's dropped. He will still be unproven to them, no matter how good we know he is. Also he has only really been playing at this level for a half season, surely it's best for his career to see if he can keep it up for a whole year before having to do it under pressure?

If he is good enough he will play. Ali came from league one and went straight in to the first team never looking back. Plus they have so many games in four competitions there will always be opportunities to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, I just think that he's seen as the second coming on here in some quarters and all I'm saying is we've really had very little to compare him against for a number of years. I don't want him to go, obviously, but I am intrigued to see what trajectory his career takes if he were to leave. Given his past Im also not sure the bright lights of London would be the best place for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but now they have that same player taking up a place in the team. He is not yet at the level where he can guarantee him a birth in a top side. Next summer may be different!

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 For some reason part of me think the media have blown Spurs interest out of proportion and they are not even that interested. Also he will end up staying at Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to look at this without my villa specs on here, but how many times have we as fans moaned when up and coming tallent is harvested by the top clubs? Surely it's better for them to play every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get clicks by saying "Spurs enquire about Grealish". You get clicks by saying "Spurs close to signing Aston Villa ace Grealish in move that will shock the West Midlands!".. The media know absolutely **** all, but they'll pretend until the sun goes down that they know every minute detail about the deal that may or may not be happening.

Nigel Posted July 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'd guess they are interested in the bargain more than the player. We will see just how much interest there is now they have lost some of the advantage they had, and they will have to pay closer to his value.
