The devil is in the details. If a team makes an offer and it is rejected, the other team doesn't get to come back later and say, "wait we will take that prior offer after all." Sometimes a club will make an offer and state that it will stay open for some period of time. Having said that, if...
If they thought they were about to sell the club, there is no way they’d sell Grealish first. The new owner is going to want to make that call. And Bruce has acknowledged that he was for sale as revelry as this week. Grealish would be right to have no trust in the club going forward.
Even as a Villa fan for life, if you’ve been offered double wages, Championship to champions league, and a shot at an England cap if a particular bid comes in and that bid comes in and you are prevented from going, you will be pretty salty.
I’m not sure you can infer that. Bruce has been talking about Villa’s valuation as recently as this week. And Sky didn’t report that Spurs had been told £25M but that Grealish had. Presumably, his agent tells Levy and the offer comes in with the expectation the deal gets done.
I’m sure that there are agents and players floating around waiting to see how things play out on deadline day so there are opportunities. Frankly, I think signing nobody is better than signing another Stambouli or N’Jie.
