    Exactly. And if they lose Grealish they'll go back to being even more ****

    They do have alot of money, but until they get into the top 4 or even Europe they won't get him. Max will leave as soon as a top 4 club comes in, but otherwise he'll stay.

    The oldies love to think sport doesn't get better and better mind.

    The standards are far higher now both on and off the pitch.

    Best was one of the best of his time, but wouldn't get in the team of a top side now.

    Now I'm going to get some argument that standards have fallen.

    Nope give me a break

    They're athletes on and off the pitch these days

    They'll all be sniffing around that's for sure, but his injury problems might put a few off..

    At the same time his injury problems and potential fir a serious injury might tenor nufc to take the money as soon as its adequate before anything major happens.

    It's the way he plays he's going get clattered alot

    It’s the captain to nip that in the bud early doors. The first time he gets clattered the captain should be straight to the ref and say “ keep an eye on this, it will keep happening unless your on it”.

    Take the Fabinho assault. It was a dangerous tackle and his eye was on the player only. He didn’t have to go into him so hard it was clear he was getting away with one but hurting him.

    Man City do them fouls but they are niggly ones and in the main are not dangerous. Just breaking up play.

    And finally him signing a 1 year extension HAS to be seen as great news. Surely?

    I would argue Bruce should be bringing this up in pre match and post match interviews, but because he's a dinosaur he thinks it's part of the game. The games changed and he's failing to look after the lad.. If Bruce says nothing and the players as you don't go nuts every time he's going to get a broken leg.

    What if Grealish is sold?

    Besides, I bet he'd rather play with Mbappe next season than Olly Watkins

    For now. Yes but when the takeover goes through we will have a better management structure and hopefully better training facilities.

    And are the fans of Aston Villa ****ers really?

    Olly Watkins looks good. But yes I’d rather play with Mbappe. But he’s coming to Newcastle and Grealish is staying at Villa. :1980_boogie_down:

    Only issue for me would be that his next move will be to a club in Europe

    We are in Europe. Just kidding.

    He wouldn’t have signed a contract extension if he was leaving in the summer. I think we have him for another season at least.
