Southampton are a model of how to do it right and make a better all round side. Losing your best players now and again is a fact of life for all but a handful of clubs in the world. It's what you do with the cash that counts. I wouldn't begrudge him the move either. Put simply, he can do better than us at the moment. He'd be well into double figures for assists if he'd had some half-competent players around him this season. The El Ghazi and Davis misses merely underlined that. Time to look forward and not shed tears. I just hope Suso is not around to decide who we buy I don’t think Susu is that bad, most of who we got were 2nd or 3rd choices. Mings, Hause, Guilbert from Susu’s first winter were good choices. Then, Luiz, Konsa (been under Smith so I can’t say it’s Susu’s). Engels, Targett. Those are very good signings. Nakamba, Wesley, Trez, Samatta might be questionable but they’re so cheap (apart from Wes). And infact Trez has a great return. I don’t think he’s that bad. It was so hard to anyone to be honest. It’s not his fault also that his first choices weren’t made. Also the timing wasn’t much. All teams had a month before to start discussion and knowing players plans and who’s possible to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2020 If we stay up i hope we put up a big fight to keep him! We are still a season away from being able to compete without him. We need to put a marker in the ground, he goes when we are ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however hope and think he will stay if we retain our place in the PL. Lets pray we do our job this weekend and the fallout determines whatever happens.

Villarocker Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think it depends on our survival. If we go down he has to leave, there's no questioning that. If we stay up he may be convinced to stay if he thinks we will challenge top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good footballers need to be playing at the very highest level, anything less and he would be selling himself short. Better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.

Speaks highly about both clubs. Think he finally realizes he had no idea what he was doing and was lucky to be in both jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz90 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If we manage to stay up, I hope that the owners match his ambition and convince him that we can grow into a team that's capable of competing closer to the level that he can play at. I get the feeling from the post-match interview, though, that the wheels are already in motion for him to leave (not to say that anything's finalised though). If we have to sell him, there are many clubs that sell their best players and build a better team off the back of it (hopefully we manage to recruit effectively), so I won't be too annoyed with him leaving his boyhood club. It's better to have had him play for us and for him to have helped drive our club forward (especially considering what could have happened following our relegation) than to never have had him play for us at all.

Anybody who thinks he's going is equally deluded. There's no evidence to suggest that he is. In fact, from what the owners, CEO and Smith have said there's more evidence to support a case that he is, even though nobody, likely even Jack himself know either way at this point.

MotoMkali Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 3 hours ago, LondonVillian said: I don't think he would who are united dropping from their midfield ? Pogba, Fernandes don't think they can play all 3 and have a balanced team. Same with City who are they dropping ? They also already have Foden in a similiar mould. City are probably losing both silvas this year. David is off on a freebie and Bernardo said he is homesick and he is also a racist. United could start grealish on the right and have him rotate with martial, rashford and Fernandes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Almost all United fans I've spoken to expect Grealish to be signed as a backup option / impact sub. Sancho and the current starting forwards seem to be their hopes for next season. I've got to the stage where I could cope with Grealish leaving, but for him to leave to sit on a top 6 bench would be too much. Stay at Villa and become a legend Jack.

You have to have players who are 100% committed to the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 So Man Utd are supposedly signing Jadon Sancho, they already have Fernandes, Pogba, Martial, James, Mata etc...how is Grealish going to fit in there? He's more likely to be on Man. City's radar surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 When we played them first time this season and pep was singing a jacks praises, he said they couldn’t afford him (which is obviously nonsense). My dad said at the time that he wouldn’t go there because Sterling would keep him out of the side. I suggested since Pep seemed such an admirer that maybe he was looking to Jack as David Silva’s replacement, as he’s leaving at the end of the season. A stretch I know, but he really could shine in a central role, more forward, in a team that’ll be creating chance after chance. I still think he stays if we aren’t relegated though.
