Jack Grealish

If ffp gets scrapped you’ll have a great chance to win trophies if your owner keeps investing if it doesn’t you won’t!

But Kane + Grealish post Covid. FFP, what FFP?

Because when you spend £200m and take in £100m in fees, you actually make a profit on the books that season as the £200m is amortised over the length of the contract and the £100m is booked in one season.

Our turnover is also 2-3 times that of Villa’s.

I can actually see ADUG creating a priority CFG club to compete in the Super League once it’s established, based in a part of the world that can attract the absolute elite calibre of players we’ve struggled to get hold of. New York City could be the one, or even the UAE, as I imagine it’s going to be a global competition with the big North, South and Central American clubs involved for exposure and prestige.

It must be a kick in the bollocks for them to be unable to attract the likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to the club on geographical grounds despite having the financial capacity to pay whatever it takes - especially when they instead opt for the Qatari platform in Paris instead.

This myth Manchester is a reason players don't come here or leave is as stupid as can be

How many top class players have played for us , the rags and the scousers? And where do most live during those years? Manchester /Leafy cheshire.

A few players every so often don't settle well, that's understandable, when I worked abroad every year we had maybe a dozen seasonal workers get homesick within week(s) and fuck off home.

Not everyone adapts to new places, no matter the place.

Also the it's cold and wet bollocks, it pisses down in france and Paris all the time so that don't seem to bother neymar and mbappe too much and Manchesters average rainfall is less than Barcelonas

To be fair, Mbappe is from Paris...

He isn't winning any meaningful titles at Villa in the next 4-5 years. Villa finished in the bottom half of the table this season and after all the hype around it.

So doesn't mind rain, and understandable he wants to play in his home.

Still not having where we are is what stops us signing players not with the players we have had in recent times and the players that have played locally.

Someone not settling in a new place is a different matter and if honest is not unusual for many people who move somewhere.

Fucking lol. Jack isn’t the brightest spark but he knows he isn’t winning titles at Villa. He’s already agreed personal terms with City and that’s coming directly from one of your former players who isn’t exactly happy about it.

I just hope you’re still on the forum when the transfer goes through.

I don't dispute that. And I admire any player who stays at a club through club associated loyalty.
However, Grealish has gone on record saying he wants to win a pot with England, and the Chumps league.
It took City with all our extravagant, cheating, dirty oil money spending 10 years just to get to a UCL final.
So, you think Jack from the black Country has already done his mathematics?
He will go to City, who have won 10 trophies in the last 4 years btw, give Villa a 1/10th of a billion windfall, and leave with a clear conscience.
Even Villa fans shouldn't throw a moody at that outcome.

Have you turned your spellchecker facility off this morning? ;)

Might be retired by then.
