Dronfield Blue Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A very good player, he was never going to stay at Villa. £100,000,000. I'd snatch their hand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Fantastic talent but doesn’t seem an obvious City player to me. Then again I said that about Mahrez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 100 million is a no brainer. Definitely sell. He's a brilliant player but they can't turn down that sort of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 No, I don't think Villa can replace him very easy for 100m to be honest, it's crazy but 3 average PL players would likely cost 100m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 I think they (Villa) are adding to their squad to cope with the loss of him. Interesting to see if he links up with Kane - which we only saw glimpses of with England but I would bet that Pep thinks it’s a dream pairing.

Keeping in mind he already has Sterling and Foden at his disposal.. He’s nearly got a more ambitious England front line than the one we got from Gareth. I’m genuinely undecided on if Villa should sell him or not. I don’t think they are cash poor and unless they can use that money to bring in 2-3 players that immediately improve their squad (and replace Grealish) then I think it gets a little complicated. It’s madness that £100m to a team that was only in the Championship a couple of seasons ago is even up for debate but that’s where we seem to be with the game now..

Putney Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Guess the aspiration for them is Leicester's ability to sell and reinvest without harming their status as a top half club. Villa have spent an absolute shed load over the past few seasons just to stay up and looked like they were on for a good season before petering off. Keep Grealish and benefit from another season with a more established squad and they should improve. Lose Grealish, sign a few players and you're probably looking at the same outcome albeit a season later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey, Ward Prowse and trying for Smtih Rowe. I'd say that's good business for Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good player , A big game player who will do well at city. think smith will follow Southgate to England job after next World Cup if he keeps his stock high so will need to spend this money well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. For this reason I’d take the 100m off City (who Villa and most clubs aren’t going to be competing with) and I think everyone’s a winner.

Kopparberg Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 “ Manchester City will end their pursuit of Tottenham striker Harry Kane, 27, if they sign England team-mate Jack Grealish, 25, from Aston Villa.

CalmJimmers Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Is he going to make them more than £100m in the future? If he wants out and lets his contract run for a bit there's a chance that value could start diminishing. I'd be selling. £100m is a scary amount of money and could easily get you 2 quality players.

Skyline Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 He has been a fantastic servant to Villa and shown a great deal of loyalty to them. I'd be surprised if his recent contract he signed has some sort of gentlemen's agreement in regards to a big money transfer. I think he's ready for the next step.

SiJ Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's pretty simple really: stay at Villa and perhaps challenge for Europe every now and then or move to Manchester City and likely win several trophies. That's just the reality of modern day football. Villa are a massive club, but they are just not in the same stratosphere as a Manchester City these days.

Guest T Hardy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Quite funny City and United spending near £100m on players who don’t even start for England Or maybe it’s a sign our national team is actually ridiculously good now?

Grealish would always start for me Sancho I’m not convinced about, but German fans and media who’ve watched him a lot more than me said he should have been the first name on the team sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
