Just had a quick gander on Villa Talk to see what they think of the transfer....

Fuck me are they deluded, none of them think that he’s leaving, they’ve got a massive chip on their shoulders about how they are perceived to be a small club, they think their owners are billy big bollcks who can’t be messed with

lads , you‘re just Aston Villa, you’ve won fuck all of note for 40 years, most of your trophies came more than 100 years ago , you have consistently shown that you are a selling club as we’ve found out with Barry and Milner

your boy Jack has decided he wants to play at a higher level than you will ever be able to offer, and he’s a die hard Villa fan , what does that say ?

im looking forward to revisiting when he signs ...

I feel it was why Grealish was out “injured” for so long because he was pissed of with club not fulfilling his contract buyout of 60m! Thing is his agent should know that a buyout in the uk isn’t enforceable!

It is enforceable. It just isn't as cut and dry as other jurisdictions.

thing is those fans like our fans who were there when they were winning are right they are a massive club they were bigger than the scum in the eighties trophies why’s anyway! So now they have a very good squad a very rich owner I don’t blame them for that it’s just now with ffp it will make it very hard to even get top four!

Really thought clubs don’t have to abide by them like a gentleman’s agreement?

Even if they had a gentleman's agreement/informal clause and not an iron clad contractual one, Villa's new owners aren't going to throw away all their good will they've built up since coming in over £15m or so.

Grealish is the club captain who stuck with his boyhood club through a terrible period in their history and lead them back to the PL and the good times. The Villa fans adore him for sticking with them when they went down.

If the club turn around and say we're not honouring a gentleman's agreement of £80m, the fans aren't going to side with the owners, they're going to say "fair enough he stuck by us, now it's time to let him go and book an enormous fee at the same time".

Most of that applies to about Harry Kane as well.
City rescuing club captains since 2021 :)

I don't believe that but if it was true then fcuk Grealish.
I hate it when players down tools when they don't get their own way.
 
What planet is Agbonlahor on

"If Jack leaves nobody at Villa will hold it against him... when Gareth Barry left nobody at Villa held it against him"

The Mahrez bit at the end is interesting...have you been told that as well, or is that just from the writers of caughtoffside?

No. Only about Grealish and from you know who (who I presume still has contacts at Villa).

Having said that, I did say (when the season ended) that Sterling’s team had put the feelers out in Spain to see if there was still any interest. That’s from a current player slash pundit.

fwiw, in two weeks I’ll no longer have anyone to find out the odd bit of gossip from as I won’t be in Qatar and I’m deffo not ITK.
