I wouldn’t be surprised either way which is why it’s really interesting. Nothing will beat the will he won’t he that went on here with KDB though…that was brilliant fun with more twists and turns than Poirot.
Why do you think your owners haven’t just said we are not selling him whatever the offer? I think there is a buyout but, if not, why the silence?
From my perspective, and many Villa fans', they've no need to make a statement, because we KNOW they're not interested in selling Jack, simple as. Jack seemed committed to the project at Villa 10 months ago, when he signed a long contract.
The only way he'd leave this summer is if there's a buyout clause, imo, and Jack has had a huge 'change of heart' in 10 months. If that's the case, and City were seriously interested, I'd expect Pep would've pushed for City to activate it, by now. You'd know better than me, but I imagine he's more integrity and respect than to wait until near the season starts.
