Cheers Mate! The Spirit of Captain Sensible lives within me! ;-)

We were on the brink of administration under the previous owner, Tony Xia, after we lost to Fulham in the playoff final. Since the take over, we've achieved a miraculous promotion, winning the playoffs after being 13th, 11pts off 6th with 12 games left. We had to buy a virtually new team for...

You're talking to another fan about 'slush money'? :-)) Behave yourself!

Don't know what that's got to do with my post, but I'd say the beauty is the natives haven't disappeared up their own backsides!

We hoped we could sign them, more than anything. We didn't feel entitled to get them, if we so wished. A lot of your fans don't even seem to rate Grealish, bizarrely enough!

Steady on, mate. I think I've been pretty respectful. It's a mutual thing, is it not? Are jokes and banter not allowed from visitors? What ott versions of logic are you talking about, specifically?

Well the greedy, arrogant, mis-managed (some of them) cartels got a butt-fucking of their own quite recently, didn't they?... ended up scurrying away with their tales between their legs! :-) You love to see it! They're not as invincible as you're insisting. Ask Barcelona! The dismissive...

Maybe they've visited Bluemoon!? RedCafe2.0! PMSL!

:-) I have no fuckin idea if there's a release clause, that's correct. Hence 'I think'...My other two points I state with absolute confidence.

I'd suggest you move on to other targets, then. Concentrate on Kane, maybe. :-)

I don't think the much-talked about release clause exists and, if it does, there's no way Villa would've accepted one so low, and no way Grealish would've insisted.

Double Bollocks! :-)) It's actually more a case of he gets set upon by all opposition players in the vicinity who can get near him, who constantly commit desperate fouls on him, because they sh** their pants, and can't handle him...true story!

No, it's not...and there's no chance he'd be sold for that price.

I don't know that a fee IS being discussed! :-) I was just repeating what the poster said. £100m would be the absolute mimimum, tbf. It would all definitely be spent though, yes.

Can we really do that much with £100m, though? Replacing Jack, who 'makes the difference' so consistently, who inspires the club, with two or three lesser bods isn't an attractive proposition at all, tbh. I don't mind the 'shite', as you put it. Par for the course when crossing 'enemy lines'. ;-)

No. Based on my 40 odd years of watching footballers, and 6 years of watching Jack's development. I think it's a better barometer than 'he plays for Villa'! :-)

I think Grealish would be viewed the same by your fans, too, albeit he's not 21.

To stop 'footballinsider' and talksh*te speculating? Really? You think that would do the trick? :-) I think you're making Villa's non-comment something it isn't, tbh.

Yeah, the sky's the limit for Foden. I was surprised at how much of an impact he made last season, tbf. Guess I maybe hadn't paid enough attention. Similar to some commenters on here, in regards to Jack. ;-)

Maybe. He's 'experienced beyond his years', as the saying goes. It's not as absolute as you say, though.
