Is it bad that the main reason I want Grealish is because of comments like this on VillaTalk...


"Jack is going nowhere ............fact!
small time spuds and smaller time Levy can do one."
Right, so let me get this straight. We have CL football, a world class stadium, world class training ground, the ability to pay greater wages than Villa and premier league football, but we're small time and Jack wants to hang around for another exciting year of Championship football? :ROFLMAO:

Jesus wept. I don't know what these brummies are smoking but I want some.

Just taken a look on Villa Talk.

My god, the sheer willful ignorance as to their current situation is astounding.

They've had their heads in the sand for a decade. New owners made it so they could keep it down there for a bit more.

If it wasn't for the fact they seem to absolutely hate us on there for some reason (jealousy?) I'd feel sorry for them.

A big club, now fighting to win Promotion in the Championship for the last 3 seasons with loads of debt and FFP regulations about to slap them up.

They dislike us because we are trying to nick their best player on the cheap.

TBF, a couple of different moves and our positions could have be reversed, I totally get why they dislike us

You're probably right, however...

"It's still a bit like deciding between a kick in the sack or a knee in the sack but IF he goes, I would actually rather see him at Chelsea rather than Spurs. There is little rational logic behind it other than I hate Spurs and Levy more than I hate Chelsea"

"Terrible for Jack's career but would be funny to piss Levy off."

This is turning into bit of a joke. If we've started talking again, that means we're keen on him. If we're so keen, why didn't we wrap this up ages ago when Villa were in trouble and needed the money? We've fucked ourselves over with this one.

Or we don't buy that their new ownership fixes their FFP problem and now they have a player who wants to leave on their hand and have to figure out how to balance that and still improve their squad. Notice how despite them now being loaded and backed by huge benefactors they've not bought a player yet... Shrug. You could be 100% right but a lot happens in negotiations and not everyone wins every one even if Levy tries his damnedest to whatever fault we perceive.

I saw something that says just because they have new investors it still doesnt mean they are safe from FFP as its all to do with transfers and not anything else.... just means they could be more likely to take a hit on the fine with new investors

They need to generate their own income to comply with FFP. They can't just take a fat cheque from the new owners and carry on as if nothing has happened.

Why are we wasting our time. I was actually happy that’s the deal was dead but taking time this long to sign a player who’s not even going to I start for us is actually pathetic

What does it matter how long it takes? He's still going to be the same player.

I assume it’s because poch wants him
I prefer sessangon than Grealish. I watched the finals game and Ryan stood out for me more. Other teams are going for players who will start or atleast challenge for the first team except us. I thought levy or Pochettino promised isn’t that they will get transfer dealings done early
