Thanks for sharing. Goes against all we’ve recently heard. Link/source?



As I said I don’t know how reliable he would be normally. If Jack doesn’t want to join a PL team with a number of quality England players and play in the CL then his loss.

FWIW, Steve Bruce has been asked to inform Spurs and Stoke that any transfer activity involving Grealish and Chester is on hold. JG wants to stay, SB wants him to stay, JG’s agents want him to stay. New owners only have to say he can stay and job done...

Sunday People journo so may not be reliable

Villa fan or not, I struggle to believe he'd rather stay there instead of coming to a club playing in the Champions League

There might be a fair amount of PR going on here from all parties at Villa’s end, inc Grealish himself. Make noises about him wanting to stay, and about him only being available at a premium, then have the deal happen under the notion that the new investors said there was no other way to meet FFP.

All signs point to this reaching a conclusion one way or another on Tuesday.

Looking at his previous posts he doesn’t seem to just make up rumours and seems knowledgable about Villa

So from the Spurs end, it's all more or less agreed (at least it was) and from the Villa end, Grealish wants to stay and Villa won't sell him unless they receive a massive offer.

:meh:

BULLSHIT!!!

We'll soon see, I guess - I was hoping this would be one of the potential "Monday-Wednesday" signings, but after this weekend I'm starting to think it might drag on a little longer...just want to get this one over the line now...fingers crossed!! :nailbiting:

I think people are getting the wrong end of the stick, it sounded like one announcement to me, between Monday and Wednesday.

Herc said "announcement/s" so could be more. Regardless, let's hope this is one of them. Or it. Whatever.

Crazy as this sounds, I'm more excited about the potential signing of Grealish than any other link so far this window ( reminds me a bit of Paul Gascoigne.)

I just see so much potential with Grealish under Poch. Onomah I am hoping for to shine as well but him not being with the squad on tour I really don't know that means....unless he's injured.

Maybe the crux of that tweet is correct but there is one major flaw with the info. Since when was it Steve Bruce's job to inform Spurs and Stoke that transfers are on hold? I'm pretty sure Villa's directors or an agent working on the deal would be doing that. Not Bruce. It's a bit like reporting that Pochettino has been asked by Spurs to thrash out terms with Villa for the transfer of Grealish. Without getting basic facts right, it's difficult to believe that tweet.

Your right it does sound crazy. Before the window opened would that have been a true sentiment?
I do rate Grealish, it's just that the clusterfuck that is our window has lowered's peoples expectations so badly that any potential signing is being overhyped. That's what I think anyway.

I get what you mean about the overhyped potential transfers however we've also been linked strongly with Martial Di Ligt and Zaha for some strange reason Grealish excites me the most.

mrTHFC on coys: My 1st and prob only bit of ITK. Apparently he will be announced on Tuesday. My cousins partner is a community coach at WBA and happens to be good friends with Grealish, he has told her himself.
Someone posted on r/coys with similar (maybe same person/same connection):

Sorry if this isn't allowed.

My cousin's girlfriend is a community coach at WBA, she's been friends with Grealish for years. He's apparently told her that he's travelling down to Spurs on Tuesday. Dunno if that's to complete the transfer or just look around the training facilities etc.

Never had any info before, probably won't have any again, but thought I'd share. Take with a large amount of salt, though.
