Any other player I would take it seriously but Jack Grealish, to put it nicely, seems not to be a very deep thinker. Sometimes it's almost as if he's been smoking wacky backy the way he acts. Probably helps his game as he thinks so little about things he's always relaxed and playing freely. Unless somebody triggers the release clause I doubt he will give moving a 2nd thought. His biggest priority after the Euros will no doubt be to go and get pissed.
As far as I knew we didn’t have a release clause in his contract, that was his old contract set at around 80m, I would of assumed the owners would of taken that clause away after doubling his salary and probably giving him a sweet signing on bonus.
I get what you’re saying, an I get what
@mike_field is saying too, I’m just not sure myself, it was only last summer he said he was 50/50 on staying, an Deano said we didn’t have any offers for him.
He’s never once said I’m staying at Villa for the foreseeable with all the rumours floating around, I think we’ve done enough to keep him, an as long as the owners keep pumping money in, we keep replacing our good players with even better ones then I think we’ll match his ambition, bring players into the club that excites the lad.
I think if we did bring in Rowe and Prowse for example not only would it cement top 6 for me, which I think we’ll get with Buendia here, but I also think having someone like Rowe to learn off Grealish might be his future replacement if he really wants a Premier League/Champions League title that he might not be able to get with us.
I’m not worried about this season, an with the current rumours/business we’re doing I’m not overly concerned, He’s earnt a move if he really wants one in the future.
