Ok, let's be more accurate. Unimaginative, unambitious, waste of a unique financial position. Who thinks the way to replace the icon of the club is to replicate the Norwich attack? It's that a good use of resources? Spurs have just signed a proper prodigy from Sevilla and we throw money at the Championship? Are we supposed to think that will seriously challenge them? No, it's a half-step away from the exact way MON wasted his chance. Good to see us keeping up our traditions.

Are we in for a few more seasons of “plucky Villa”?

Hopefully not

If we sell Grealish I'll be gutted. However, it would be completely unreasonable to slate any incoming signing for not being as good as Grealish, as it will be impossible for us to attract players of that calibre if we do let him go, in the short term at least.

Sarr and Cantwell aren't as good as Grealish but they're both very good players.

Do you have to be so condescending? I'm just expressing an opinion about transfer targets in a football forum.

Sorry, I thought you were a bit over the top. Posting angry rarely ends well, I do it often enough. ☹

We have had our noses rubbed in it all day long.

Nothing short of signing the Argentinian Gary Shaw will cheer me up if Grealish goes.

Well fair enough mate, I was definitely waxing hyperbolic. But I can't deny I find those targets tremendously underwhelming.

Fair enough, and apologies for coming across as condescening, I was going for irreverant/jovial.

I think anyone is going to be underwhelming if you judge them by the criteria of being as good as Grealish. Dublin wasn't as good a player as Yorke, but it wasn't his fault Yorke left and I still loved him for a while.

If Cantwell wants to present any property programmes, though, he can fuck off. There's too many of them already.

Must say, if Percy's right and our idea of replacing Jack is Todd Cantwell or Ismaïla Sarr, then someone needs to be fired as that is pathetic.

Bailey would replace Jack Grealish if those two transfers were to happen.  We aren't going to be able to replace Jack Grealish with a similar level player unfortunately, but we can still get a very good player who could fit in to the way we play and be very effective.

It's seems like we are in the market for a young attacking midfielder, hence the links to Smith-Rowe and Cantwell.  Wouldn't see  a player like that being an automatic starter, more one to develop over the next couple of seasons.

I would love us to go get Aouar that's being linked with Arsenal and Liverpool. A player that would show that while Jack might have gone, Villa are looking up not shown and will find a way forward.

Leicester have lost players. Liverpool lost Sterling to Man City. Arsenal have too. Their budget is totally different to every other club. What we have to do is go and buy 4/5 players that will get in our team. A top centre mid, a top winger, a number ten. Proper competition for Ollie. We do that, in spite of Jack going I reckon we'll move forward. There are terrific players out there. Look at Rafinha at Leeds last season. The players being linked are 22/23. Get them right, with our youngsters, in 2 years time they won't need to move. And Jack will be kicking himself.

No worries! Tone is always the first thing to die in the internet.

It's true that Jack, properly speaking, is irreplaceable, I just get a distinct whiff of midtable from the names mentioned so far apart from Bailey. Of course it could be that I've caught S_E's aversion to 'Todd' as a name. I just wish we'd use an extra hundred million on, I don't know, Camavinga, or indeed Aouar.

Actually, I'd love Aouar.

I've never heard of him but can imagine singing his name.

"I drove my tractor through your haystack last night (Aouar Aouar)
I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet (Aouar Aouar)
Now something's telling me
That you'm avoiding me
Come on now darling you've got something I need
Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony"


Might need some work. Maybe change "combine harvester" to "Emi Buendia" and I think it's good to go.

Maybe we should just sign Aouar instead.

No thanks, it would make us all sound like Bristol City fans.
