Depends if he kicks off.

Yeah he's a Villa fan but mentally I suspect his head is a bit scrambled.

Probably getting ready to go room with Kane for Spurs and England.

now he's back in a room with Alan Hutton and it's Preston away.

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.

So... if what Sky reporting are true... how is Villa saying the player is not for sale at all Levy's fault?

Levy's fault for not getting it done before Villa had the takeover, sure. But now that's been done how is them saying no Levy's fault?

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.
If Grealish shits claret and blue I’m fairly certain he won’t pass the medical.

If he hands in a transfer request then he’s a Judas. I called this on page 2.

Must be pretty awful being strung along all summer being promised everything we can offer. Only for us to put in derisory offers to the club he loves at the last second

I mean I dont believe the sky stuff but lets say it was true, you answered your own question? It would be his fault for dicking about.

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?
Other Clubs have sussed Levy out now. The Club need a new approach to transfer dealings.

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
I'm guessing new owners thought Levy was trying to bend them over, and stopped the deal to "prove" they are tough negotiators also...

Eta - as I said above, I think they will regret not making the deal.

Because this should have been wrapped up ages ago

£25m was a fair offer to be honest - but we should have offered that originally when it was likely to be accepted and this wouldn't have happened. But oh well, we move on. Wasn't first choice anyway, right ;)...

Sounds like Sky are doing Villa a favour. If you carried on listening to Rob Dorsett, he said that 'other bids had gone in but his sources wouldn't name the teams who had bid' ...

Same old same old. Until someone on here tells me Jack is 'dead' I'm going back to my bacon sandwich and newspaper.

Not sure why we have this same debate about Sky every window. They're far more credible than most give them credit for. Their Grealish info is correct - we all know it.

Edit: AND THEY'RE NOTHING TO DO WITH SKYBET.
