Jack Grealish

[Scott mcfc]

Surely the club must have his 100% to make a 100 million bid. Easy to flap but the silence is good news surely. It’s more than possible he’s just saying his good byes at Villa and moving at his own pace, everyone just needs to calm down.
I can’t see any reason to not be confident it goes through

Thats the way im readin into it,hes bin there all his life,looks too me like hes sayin his goodbyes,idd like too think we will know exactly where we stand on this today,hopefully a medical at ethiad by end of day

 

[BLUEMATT23]

My hunch is he's staying put, the silence is deafening too be honest plus the fact he's training and nothing has happened for nearly 2 days now. I don't trust anything Sam Lee says - it's usually wrong.

I reckon he would have reservations about his game with us and not being the leading man like he is at Villa.
Just hope Bernardo stays.

It's today or never. If we don't hear he's coming today, he won't be coming imo

I think the opposite. If he doesn’t renew with Villa today he is coming.

The silence yesterday was inconclusive. If anything it suggests he's leaving VIlla because he was with Villa yesterday and it would have been the easiest thing in the world to say I am staying and Villa would not have kept that quiet.

If City bid £100m, meeting a release clause, then he has to push it through. He may have done that and it will break today, or he may still have to do that but the clock is now ticking.

Very relaxed either way on jack. This is his big chance and must be a tough decision for him. Either was we will be just fine and the key deal for us is Kane, not Grealish.

Yes, I 'd like him, but if we didn't get him we'd be fine too, think Kane is the difference maker.

 

[Sir peace frog]

In honor of all the whingers, and the fact that I’m on my hols and have better things to do late at night than answer the 10-20 daily notifications and then spend all day defending them, I’m going to leave you all to the wankfest.

Hope we get some resolution in the next few days, so we can ALL get on with life!

Phew, should make this thread a lot shorter not having to read your he's not worth it, as for whingers, there's seems to be you and one or two others that are whinging

Bang on

Massive mistake ambition wise if he turns it down but good luck to him if he does. Best (currently) team in the league come knocking on your door, you don’t say no.

Maybe he doesn’t believe he can make the team on a regular basis , he’s the main man at Villa

 

[asahartford1]

Not the end of the world if he does mate. If he stays at villa good luck to him, it’s probably a mixture of him being a villa fan and a bit uncertain as to how much game time he’d get with us. Probably 50:50

Yep, the odds would suggest that.

Also that despite the speculation, and the ITK's in both sides, the punter does not have a scooby.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Favourite to stay at villa now on sky bet
City miss out again
Let’s hope some youngsters get a chance this year

 

[EekC]

Only reason Grealish would be odds on to stay is because the villa fans are so fucking dense that they keep piling the bets in

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

So what time are United announcing Grealish today then?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Only reason Grealish would be odds on to stay is because the villa fans are so fucking dense that they keep piling the bets in

Maybe it’s giro day in Birmingham

 

[BringBackSwales]

The “ITK’s” don’t have a scooby either mate, nor do the media

 

[FantasyIreland]

He is incredibly ambitious and moving here gives him the ultimate opportunity to achieve his dreams - he wont ever get a better one.
So unless something has caused him to have a massive change of heart,he will be wearing our shirt next season.

Chill :-)

 

[skillman]

Yeah agreed. That would boil down to lack of self confidence though which, on the face of things, isn’t something he’s short of!

 

[SWPISHOME]

People stop with the whole odds thing! He was 4/11 to join City from Saturday morning up until Monday when he went into 4/6 now he's 10/11, Did he join us at any of those prices?? All of a sudden he's odds on to stay at Villa and it's panic stations.
Villa fans lumping on for him to stay will obviously shorten the price on him staying, It's not rocket science.
Bookies haven't a clue what is happening as well as the media.
Sit tight and see what happens. If the last few days is anything to go by Grealish packed his bags 200 times then unpacked it on the same bloody day.

 

[Academica]

If he doesn't believe he can make the team I think Pep and the board need to pack in football. To think we would be willing to spend £100m on a player with so little self confidence in his own ability, or the club paying that amount for a player that can't make our team. Fortunately I think Grealish would back himself to get in any team and I hope we have done due diligence on the player to know all about his mind set and footballing ability.

This is my feelings on it to a T.

To be fair to a couple of people on here they obviously know a fair bit more than me. When Kane and Grealish were both mentioned back in January, I thought there was no way they were our targets, Still thought that back in May. I was obviously wrong, and they were right.

 

[oldius]

Villa fans will be feeling exactly the same - silence means he's leaving or silence means he's going. Nobody has a clue so speculation is rife.
