weedman Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 OK so I just came on here, saw about 100 extra pages and have skimmed through. From what I gather, the deal is now done, the only things left to iron out are the fee, wages, bonuses, contract length, and whether or not Jack actually wants to go?

Probably because we won't put up with their rubbish. It is Thomas Shelby vs Curly Watts when it comes to both clubs All Mancs hate Brummies because they think they should be the second city and hate that it's us. They've got such a massive chip on their shoulder about it, it's why they all walk in that stupid way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not won anything with him for him to earn that kind of money from us. I think that sets a rather dangerous precedent for any incoming stars we chase in the near future. Tell that to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Speculate to accumulate buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 yikes this thread. To me its clear, i am very confident that the owners/management would not have plastered Grealish literally all over the new kit stuff and advertising, if they thought he was leaving.

Keyblade Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 See this thread balloon by 20 pages and fear the worst, but it turns out it's because of what some guy on reddit said? I wouldn't even trust a redditor to tell me the time. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The narrative of the Kane and Grealish transfer saga’s is so different and annoying if I’m honest. With Kane, it’s very much, the player wants to leave but Spurs won’t let him and he’s not for sale. With Jack, it’s about if he wants to leave then it will happen. Nobody seems to mention what Aston Villa want in all of this. What if we just flat out refuse to sell? Nobody mentions that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no doubt that if Xia didn't kill us completely we'd have headed for league one rather than the Prem under him. I can't fathom how people can still be questioning NSWE's aims. They literally haven't put a foot wrong in 3 years. And it's not all talk either. We are the only club in the league with ZERO debt and they have broken our transfer record at least 3 times that I can think of. Money is being put where their mouths are.

Keyblade Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 He has time on his side, just like Kane did to see if he can realize his dreams with Villa. We're on the up. If it all goes tits up or we stagnate, then fair enough, go win some trophies lad. But as it stands we're marching our way up there, with him in the front. Who wouldn't want to see that through? 4 years left on his current contract. He even has leverage now to improve it even further. He gains next to nothing from not sitting tight for a year or 2. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the script is all but written and Jack has the lead role. It is a much more compelling narrative than whatever Man City have on offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
