    The only way we can replace him is bring in two or three players that can come in and bring assists, carries and goals with them. That said I don’t want him to leave….he is our talisman and the whole club benefits whilst he is with us. No signings can replace him and what he means to us.If he goes it means that this “project” is no different to any other.

    They are a little upset about things aren't they. They've gone from Pride of the Midlands to our feeder team in three years. Isn't it great to see the Villa acting like the biggest club in the area again at last...the last 10 years have been a gift to the Baggies but now they had their fun!

    You wouldn't tolerate it anywhere else. Football clubs and kit manufacturers (especially) get away with far more than other industries imo I stopped buying kits years ago, in fact I don't even go into the club shop......they really should to do a better job enticing fans to buy merchandise, especially season ticket holders.... But they don't care, especially while we just tolerate crap kits that we don't like and ridiculous lead times like the one you mention! I love Villa but i don't love being ripped off every time i have to buy anything but a match ticket

    Man City’s trophies are meaningless to us…Villa fans. Jack winning trophies with them will be meaningless to Aston Villa. His club….in his town. Of course maybe that means nothing to him as a professional player and he is just the same as every other pro,I just hope this time is different.

    Winning trophies at Man City is meaningless when: 1.You are a Villa fan 2.Your family are Villa 3.Your friends are Villa Who is interested when you win the league for the first time but it’s City’s 4th in 5 years? Not even City fans care…. I just can’t see what’s in it for Jack here…when he wins something at Villa it will surpass anything he can do at City. He could have an Aguero moment here….he can’t do that there. I just can’t see it happening UTV

    blah...blah..money...blah....and we have Jack Grealish in our side btw!
  7. MarkLillis
    I don’t think we are ready to move on from the Jack Grealish era just yet. It doesn’t feel right…..he has unfinished business still!
  8. MarkLillis
    Absolutely agree. I just happen to believe that our plan is to build a team around Jack and I also believe he is on board with it. This plan will also have its ups and downs and as you know means that we go through this speculation about our best player every year!

    of course the point is if they keep their better players they would have finished top 4..... Kante, Chilwell ,Maguire Mahrez have all finished in the top 4 and played Champions league football with their new clubs since they left Leicester.

    I don’t know either, but I always link it to his time at Charlton when they were an up and coming club. Villa were always an easy target for up and coming sides in the past.

    It’s a shame that the club can’t manage to produce a great looking kit. However we don’t have to buy it. I wish more people would decide not too, then the club might consider the fan’s opinion instead of signing off on another dodgy kit!
  12. MarkLillis
    Just imagine the fallout if Jack had missed a penalty. I for one…. am glad he didn’t take one
  13. MarkLillis
    I agree,in my opinion Man City have no need for a player at his level right now. I hope he can improve and for fill his potential with us.
  14. MarkLillis
    If you ask me the kit designers haven’t got a clue.
  15. MarkLillis
    Cantwell always seemed a very decent player to me.Good engine and a consistent performer for Norwich. May well be our second choice behind JWP.
  16. MarkLillis
    I would like to see us go top of the Premier at some stage.Eventually mounting a strong challenge for Europe. A win against Man Utd at Villa Park would also be nice.
  17. MarkLillis
    Fair enough.It’s not the way it’s being understood by the general public though.
  18. MarkLillis
    It’s crazy.There’s no credible news regarding this and yet the whole country thinks it’s happening! My Mrs came home from work on Friday and said “sorry about Jack leaving babe” Ive been visiting family this weekend in the North east and they are asking me how I think he will get on at Citeh. I can’t be arsed to explain…..
  19. MarkLillis
    I just can’t see him doing this…..but you are quite right. Legendary status is tough to keep after he has played and even scored against Villa!
  20. MarkLillis
    Not having that…. I saw Gazza play many times he was a great player. Not elite like your Ronaldos etc but deserves all the plaudits he gets.
  21. MarkLillis
    Players with Jack’s obvious talent have struggled to get picked by England historically. Matt Le Tissier Tony Currie Stan Bowles just a few I thought of…..and of course Gazza himself was left gutted by Hoddle not taking him to France 98
  22. MarkLillis
    One of my favourites. Not that it makes him anything special as Ashley Westwood made that list while was here.
  23. MarkLillis
    From the comments I just read (on an official England post on FB) then you do. The majority only see hairbands and diving (which he is guilty of....) They don't see, the vison, the football intelligence, the bravery, the actual skill with a football, the way other players respect him, the way opposition coaches and players fear him....i could go on. Is it me or are all football fans keen to only see the down side of something?
  24. MarkLillis
    We win a lot of set pieces but don’t have an efficient set piece taker. JWP is an efficient set piece taker. This all makes sense. Since when have Aston Villa’s transfer dealings made sense? Since we have been taken over by serious business men who don’t like to waste money. Maybe we won’t get this guy,maybe we will but links like this will be the “new normal” I think anyway.
  25. MarkLillis
    This is a consequence of us being pretty badly run on and off the pitch for years. Whilst we know we have been badly run and that had allowed clubs like Norwich to have better teams than us, they think we are at the same level. You can’t blame them.
