  1. Think we need to calm our expectations a little . We have new players that will need to time to gel and adjust . For us to finish higher than last year the new creative players need to hit the ground running. European football may be a stretch this year.
  2. Nothing to do with England , Southgate doesn’t trust him . This won’t change with Jack in a city shirt.
  3. This was always going to happen . What’s frustrating is the lack of honesty integrity from Jack . He claimed last year he was here to rebuild and support the project , here we are 12 months on and his off , Good luck to him but he isn’t legend status at Villa and I’m sure he will be berated more critically by fans . Football is a business there is NO loyalty anymore !
  4. True but once a player head has been turned , it can ruin his performances and impact the spirit in the squad . If he wants to go let him go under our terms.
  5. Don’t think this is the case, it’s all about money and what you throw in front of the players .
  6. Don’t agree , if he stays at Villa he plays if his fit , if he goes to city I’d say his not guaranteed a place . He will have much more game rime at Villa than city to demonstrate his ability. The simple fact Southgate don’t trust him defensively for England is the reason he won’t start for England nothing to do with playing for Villa or city,
  7. Players come and go they always will , would love him to stay but our project is a few years down the road to City. Villa can’t continue to rely on one player we have to move on . The games JG missed last year we struggled we never had a plan B . If jack wants to go is the key here . If he goes take the money we move on , I love JG but the club is always bigger than any player .
  8. Yeh love that kit - And the round badge is brilliant.
  9. That’s cheered me up , you just never know
  10. I hope not , I think he will stick with the system we have with a straight replacement for cash
  11. Think we should calm down a little, great start and the signs are good , but its three games in !!
  12. I agree with the assessment of how he can be utilised to a degree in the future , but you didn't and continue to ignore or fully appreciate what he has done for the benefit of the team .
  13. Really ? did you read anything from the previous post
  14. Based on the fact what manger goes into a season with a 31 player turnaround you mention and attempts to play football cavalier style, with a new team! Had DS been just a little more cautious we could and should of secured more points. Hopefully we will get the 3 points we need Sunday . Im not blowing smoke up DS bottom if we srcape thru and survive he has been very naive this season and only changed strategy during the close down due to COVId. Had we started the season playing a little more defensively and cautious my opinion is we would be safe. Lets hope we get the job done Sunday UTV
  15. If we survive and finish 17th this would have been realistically the minimum expectation . Given how the season has now panned out and looking at the league and teams above us now safe , we could have done a lot better. Lets get Sunday out of the way first !!
  16. Correct they were safe (just not mathematically) they are playing well tho and im sue will be a tough team to break down Sunday. But were playing better also with a little more confidence, we need to win to avoid looking over our shoulders.
  17. I agree mate but the players hold all the power today not the clubs. If he wants to go id let him go, regrettably. You have to have players who are 100% committed to the cause.
  18. I believe he could have done a lot better particularly at the start of the season. Its an opinion given our position, football is never black and white and every fan on on this forum wants the team to succeed!
  19. I dont believe that is a fair post. We all want Villa to be a success with Smith or any manager. This is a fans forum i still believe where we can discuss and share opinions . Some fans believe smith has done a good job other fans believe he could have done better with what he has. UTV
  20. I have been a fierce critic of Smith, but since the restart we have defensively looked a lot stronger as a team. Im not taking anything away from the result or throwing any ifs or buts about other teams results Smith got a result . Its in our own hands going into the last game, whatever happens i have no doubt we will all have opinions post Sundays game . So come on Smith engineer another great result Sunday then let the debate begin!!! UTV
  21. yes i agree with a bucket loads of cash
  22. We all love the club Mike but the name Villa alone will no longer attract the top mangers we all as fans want. What will attract a manager is cash and a strategy to move forward.
