Aston Villa Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours/Champions League Thread 2024/25

I find it hard to believe they accepted offer so fast , unless theres something we dont onow

3 good years? There is zero chance you would be of that opinion if he was staying with us

Club release here .

I would go after Saint Maximin to replace Grealish personally.

I think some of the names mentioned there aren't really appropriate for a Grealish replacement. If we're getting that wedge of cash, I'd like to see a reasonable sum of it spent on someone who I've very little doubt about their quality on the left hand side.

Saint Maximin and Zaha are 2 very obvious names there. Zaha in particular only has 2 years left on his contract so Palace may be pressured in this regard. There would be other clubs in for this calibre of player too, but what do we want to do here, spend 20 million on 5 different players when we already have a settled enough team of Emi, Targett, Konsa, Mings, Cash, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins, one of McGinn/Luiz. You go sign a top wide left player, and Ward Prowse or someone of similar quality and you might be in a better situation overall than last season.

2 years in prem and last season in champ he has been top class, mayby half season before?

Nothing t0 do with him leaving

Im not turn on him at all

Thats your opinion that hes been top class for 4 and half seasons , hardly a huge difference in opinion to 3 and a half

Hes certainly a contender. Grealish is about to break the British transfer record though, for me he is the winner.

Just thinking back through some of his huge moments, Birmingham away, Derby at home to start the impossible run, Rotherham away, West Ham away, Liverpool at Wembley. Liverpool at Villa Park, Arsenal at the Emirates. I feel like that’s more big moments than I can remember in the decade that preceded Jack.

For such a young lad, it would still be the end of an era if he is on his way. We can hopefully use the money to make us stronger across the team, but there won’t be another Jack.

I haven't been able to wrap my head around the idea that everyone seems resigned to Jack leaving, with zero indication from the player, the club or the suitors. Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen a formal bid placed yet. And Sky Sports are banging this Grealish leaving drum for two years now, nothing has come of it.

Villa don't need to sell, and the player has given zero indication that he wants to leave. Four years left on his contract, and the club is showing some massive ambition, without actual bags of money on the table I feel this is big talk. I'd agree with Esse85, I think he's staying.

Spent many years defending JG to Irish people over his international switch...now I get to join in giving him dogs abuse :-)

Eden is in VP now. My gut says he stays. What would be the point of flying in if Grealish said he wants out. Just needs to send an OK on an email of that was the case.

Two owners at villa park today.

Tomorrow is crunch day , if he is not training then hes gone , if he reports back there must be hope

Where did you see this? Keep trying to find it but can't find anything reliable

Jack out for so long and Covid completely derailed our season without a doubt. We were on the cusp of a special season for a long time and the football we played before both was super to watch.

I think him leaving is more than 50%. People are naturally gonna cling to whatever percentage we do have until it’s confirmed either way. And it would be fair to say it looks a bit brighter than it did say on Friday evening.

Grealish training at all today, even if it's no contact training, has to be a positive sign for Villa. If you were about to sell your car for 100 million quid, you wouldn't use it to nip down the shops, especially if it has a dodgy shin.

And according to twitter he now stays with new contract , after seen videos from training ground today it looked that way , was all smiles

Keinan Davis? Woo!

Tammy and axel rumours back again today

Today is a disappointing day, but there is enough in the squad now to suggest that if we spend this 100 million well we can keep pushing forward. Spending that 100 million right after teams know we have it, might be difficult, but it is still absolutely necessary to fill that gigantic Jack shaped hole. Buendia and Bailey are great signings but they don't do that.

This is a joke , season starts saturday week.

Surprised no leaks from team mates as hes trained all week.

Dissapointed , club need to make detailed statement.
