Words of friendly advice here; you've pushed it way, way too far with this. Poor effort. Apply yourself next time.

Do you know this for sure? Genuine question.

But he did literally sign a 5 year contact less than a year ago and said he saw his future here. My City, my club, my home. I wouldn't go down the snake route but it would make those words seem dishonest now if he left so soon after.

Probably. Will be interesting to see. I'm not sure as I didn't watch any football last season besides Villa. I guess we'll have to move on from Rashica. There are plenty more fish in the sea.

Speak for yourself

No I know you're not laughing. The other guy was in a very suspicious way whilst also ingnoring the actual point of my post.

But his question was "how many of the 10 teams COULD we overtake this season". I only would say the top 3 are untouchable. Any of the others are. No idea what will happen though and for me 6th-8th would be a good season. Even top 4 last season may have been 2 points away if Grealish didn't get injured. I see no reason to just dismiss it and laugh at that suggestion now.

Leicester fans would have said the same at the start of 15/16. This league is crazy. We could conceivably overtake 7 out of the 10 teams that finished above us. Anything can happen. Not saying it will but I'm definitely not ruling it out either. If we hadn't lost Grealish for 13 games last season I think we'd have had at least 10 points more. Not unreasonable to think that is it? That would have put us 6th. 2 points off 4th.

Why would a Villa fan laugh at that? Ignored the rest of my post, I see. Bye now.

SIGH... Try and follow now... @nick76said Clearly meaning that since the owners came in we have improved drastically and they have the aims and means to take us to the top. We are not owned by Lerner or Xia anymore. These are serious people who know what they want and a player who is a boyhood Villa fan would want to be part of that. But you took it literally as in the position in the table we finished.... So I tried to explain that Grealish himself has stated that the owners sold their ambitions to him and he wanted to be part of the project but you glossed over that for some reason, despite the fact that that was the whole point of the first post! For some reason you asked me... And gloated when I ignored that bit to address the fact that you'd completely missed the point of the discussion. Now why would you gloat like that? For the record, I see no reason why we can't or won't finish in the top 4 next season. See, I can answer the question.

You missed the bit where I said that Grealish said in his own words the owners sold their ambitions to him. End of discussion.

He said himself he was sold on the owner's ambitions and plans for the future. That's where we are. We're in the most exciting shape for years.

I like the cut of his jib. Come on @samjp26give us more
