Jack Grealish

Why do you think it's so unachievable? Leeds missed it by eight points in their first season back. West Ham had a very average team and finished two points outside.

Villa had a good season last season but you're not in the same class as Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd or Manchester City. You have a job just to get past Arsenal and Spurs.

Believe me, every Manchester City fan would prefer to see VIlla do well over those clubs. Liverpool and Man Utd are especially disliked but much as I would like you to replace them, I can't see it.

No doubt there will be a few Villa fans in them their canals by the end of the week.

Villa offering 200k a week apparently. I just think his agent wants Jack to move since euros his popularity has sky rocketed

If Grealish does sign then I would say with near certainty that everything we've heard out of the Villa end the past 2 months has been pure posturing.

Lucky contracts exist then; if Villa don't want to sell then he isn't going anywhere no matter how ambitious he is. On that matter, I'd also say it is more ambitious to try and get into the Champions League with Villa and perhaps win an FA Cup than win an inevitable league title with you. Ambition means taking on a challenge, he wouldn't be doing that with you.

So it wouldn't be a challenge coming to city and putting himself up against a lot of talent and also trying to get in the starting 11 in place of them?
Your post just shows how little you know about football and how blinkered your views are.
Villa aren't winning any cups or getting anywhere near the top 4. You should of kicked on after battering the mickeys but instead chose to play the next few games with a cigar on.
Grealish wants to win things before he turns into Matt le Tissier. He isn't doing that at Villa Park.

Because that is what he would have cost last summer, before the new deal. How does it make sense that Villa give him a new deal when the current one has three years to run and introduce a clause that limits his value to what it was before the deal? Better to let the old deal run and sell him this summer without a release clause in that case.

Happens. Deals have many factors in them, they play off against each other.

Club wants player to stay another year, they may end up offering a new deal that contains slightly better wages or signing bonus, and an escape clause that suits the player. The alternative is the player gets bigger bonuses for signing, bigger wages, in return for accepting that a bigger fee would be required when they move.

You really have buried your head in the sand and you are only capable of looking at football through the prism of an Aston Villa fan. Let me spell it out for you.

Manchester City are at a party they weren’t invited to. We gate crashed it. It’s a world of cartels. The establishment aren’t happy and they’re gonna make damn sure no other upstart crashes the party. Not a lot they can do about us.

You might be allowed to be a Leicester and win the odd trophy every five years. They’ll ruffle your hair and declare it the romance of football. The exception that proves football is competitive. But you even had a daydream about dominating domestically or regularly taking a European spot from United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs etc and you’ll get absolutely butt fucked. Prepare for headlines about your owners eating aborted foetuses for breakfast. Hackers rifling through Villa’s emails and stealing your scouting database.

Easy you say?

From what I gathered from reading these posts is that we don't have a lot of opposition fans that like us.

You know what so be it :)

Remember that scene very well.One of my daughters ex pupils plays the young cousin Michael.

Honestly wasn’t even fussed about him but after a read on Villa talk and now here I feel like he’s a must…

no one knows the exact figure of the release clause if there is one. your owner wouldn’t say there is one for your best player that would be stupid. You would have every team in the top 4 come knocking

This is jacks agents work 100% he knows there’s a clause and told City about it as he will get a nice signing bonus and gets to say one of his big players on his watch is now playing for the premier league champions and in the champions league. Euros was the worst thing to happen for Villa as now Jacks popularity is sky high and that means money signs for his agent. I commented before Jacks got deals lined up with Boohooman , aftershave sponsors, other clothing brands High end.

A lot of brands want to work with Jack. his agent has a goldmine in Grealish
