LondonLax Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Just now, rubberman said: With claret and blue glasses off, it's a mid table side being offered the domestic record fee. It's not surprising non villa people would expect it to be accepted. Not only that but it sounds like we have accepted it and it’s now down to Grealish to decide on a new contract with us or a move to Man City.

So if you can keep me up to date that'll be great, instead of hearing to that radio station gagging for Jack to sign for Man City all day. Let's hope it's just you going to Manchester today!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, imagine if he'd have got a hole in it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, Monkeypuzzle said: Quick question, have the press ever stated that they expect a club to accept an offer before, rather than waiting for an official response? I don't remember ever hearing them say that before and it seems so disrespectful to the club (no surprise there). Basically yes! The attitude of the press and particularly Sky think the “big 6” have a divine right to all the best players. They will always try and paint a picture that any “big 6” making a big bid to a smaller would inevitably be accepted because they believe the smaller club needs the money. Because in most cases it’s true. Even with current Villa, it’s somewhat true. Our owners are rich, but the club isn’t. FFP keeps that in check. FFP keeps football in perpetual state of sameness. Big clubs staying big and smaller clubs staying small. The press will carrying on using this problem to their advantage, rather than actually calling it out and demanding change to FFP rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I reckon there was a release clause in Jack's last contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he sat there and told them that he loves Villa and wants to stay here forever but also wants to win something before he finishes playing so wants to always have that clause in case Villa's ambitions don't match his. He was sold the plan last year and we've shown on the pitch that we've improved. It'll all be about the signings this year and whether Jack thinks they add enough quality to the team to take us top 6. We're probably a solid back-up striker, back-up centre back and, a starting defensive midfielder short of becoming that team, for me. But, is it enough for Jack? Ashley Young's return might be the swinger. He's come back to welcoming arms at the age of 35. He left and won trophies then returned to a club he loved playing for. Jack may be thinking he can leave for 4 years then come back before he's 30 and still have a final 5 years playing for the club he loves with trophies in the bag. He knows we'd welcome him back if we can do it for Young. I think that Man City knew about the release clause and it got met, which gets them to put an offer to Jack. I think Jack will probably now be hoping that when he sits down with Smith, Edens and Lange, they can give him enough confidence to stay by telling him who they're looking to bring in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
