Yup. I think this is more likely, along the lines of if Spurs were ever to sell Grealish, Villa would have a contractual right to match any bid that we accepted.
Then it would be down to the player to agree terms.
But "buy back clauses" in their literal sense are what Barca and Real Madrid put in their young players' contracts when they sell them, so that they can buy them back at a fixed price if they develop well. Eg Dani Carvajal when he was sold by RM to Leverkusen.
The club and scouting team includes think so ! Let's just support the player and hope deal gets done!

So we’ve waited until 2 days until the transfer window closes to put in our first bid for any player which we know will get rejected.?
Are we seriously on just one big wind up?

Why would you contemplate believing its the first bid, when Bruce has mentioned several times in the summer that we've not met their valuation (implying we've made offers)

Dunno where this guy got this info from, but he reckons we bid £9m for Grealish initially when they were in trouble - I'd like to say that figure surprises me, but with Levy it absolutely doesn't
"Levy opened the bidding at £9m... (Yes nine million). He did that because he saw us in a position of pure desperation and like the vulture he is, tried to pick our bones for a ridiculously low figure.
The guy (in football terms) is scum.
Well now the shoes on the other foot. Now after a summer of coming up short on deals, it's Spurs who are desperate. Time to return the favour and treat him with the level of disdain he did us. Quote him a ridiculously high figure and sweat him out for the next 48 hours without giving an inch!!"

They seem to forget they are still in a desperate position.

We’ve obviously had talks with them for most of the summer.
For a Championship player.??
We’ve only put in an official bid today. Which will get rejected. Truly laughable.

That is quite a paradoxical post. Is he an inferior player, or is he worth so more than the supposed £25m that the bid is laughable?

Well Golly Gee! if the scouting team thinks he's worth over £30m then he must be!
I can still support the player (if we sign him) and think he's not great.
