Jack Grealish

[LexingtonSpurs]

Kind of reminds me of Berahino - Villa will regret not selling him now.

So FFP has no bearing on their future whatsoever? ...

 

[spursfan77]

so we've fucked it then?

This is posturing once again I'm sure. As I said the other day, it sounds like we are waiting until they are on their knees. With all the other arrangements apparently done then we have no reason to move closer on the fee before they are desperate. They have every reason to hold on in the hope that another team will come in.

It will probably be tomorrow afternoon therefore. Hopefully will not distract from other deals as I can't see why JG should be a backup option.

This entire window has basically been waiting until the last couple of days and trying to shaft everybody with disinformation in the meantime

 

[THFCSPURS19]

But Villa haven't said it. Sky sources are telling us they have said it.....

I mean if you look at what's come out, it pretty much looks like direct quotes from their new chairman.

Just waiting for the 'They're doing it for Sky Bet' before the yearly reminder that Sky Bet and Sky Sports are owned by different companies.

SKy Sources they say which usually means, some bloke hanging around the training ground.

 

[Streetspur77]

Yeah this one's done. People can delude themselves saying Sky are making shit up, but Villa are not going to go from 'he won't be sold this window' to 'we can confirm Jack Grealish has gone to Tottenham' in a day and a half.

Sets it up for a Grealish transfer request and then the club can say they tried but there was nothing they could do

Obviously Villa fans think Grealish shits claret and blue and would never do that but we’ll see

Doesn’t make sense for Villa to be getting themselves deeper in FPP shit + negotiate with us for months to then just suddenly decide they’ll reject ANY offer. It stinks.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Bringing the chairman in suggests a lot more than posturing to be fair. I don't think Villa fans would have rioted if he went so making him the Villain (forcing a transfer request) would be a dick move by the new owners.

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

Absolute shambles

 

[leemason2302]

Just a question, how does all this bollocks a few days before the season starts, help the club? Im genuinely interested as levy apparently has our interest at heart after all. I just don't get how in his mind this window makes sense.

Ok. But this is so reminiscent of the Berahino transfer stuff. People on here convinced themselves West Brom would have no choice but to sell him but then oh wait the window's closed and we have no back-up striker.

 

[zepstar]

Final attempt from Villa to push the price up, that's all. Playing chicken in the hope other big clubs will circle.

 

[iddebu52]

Don't think he will hand in a transfer request tbh.

 

[George94]

I'm double confused by Trix's info in here now - made it sound like we managed to sort this deal out even after we all thought Levy fucked it

 

[King of Otters]

Honestly, if we actually decide we want Grealish, and fail to get him, then it'll be a new nadir for Levy's approach to negotiating.

If fucking Leicester can sort Maddison out weeks ago, why can't we do the same with a broke Aston Villa?

FFP is a lousy comic book law, look at man city

Villa aren't Man City lol jesus christ.

I’m not gonna pretend I know what’s going to happen but I think it’s premature to say it’s done

 

[ParlyCicton]

This is making levy look like a fool, taken all summer for the chairman to say he will not be sold. Couldn't make it up!

 

[L-man]

Clubs don't just leak stuff so close to a deadline only to make a complete U-turn at the last second.

This is done and we've fucked it again.
