Yes, he ended up with the number 9 shirt shifted to 18 in between 8 and 9 for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Villa beat Man U 3-1 that day. 95 wasn't it? My 7th birthday party. My mother baked a cake with Aston Villa 2-1 Man U on it. Close. A day that I'll never forget. Villa won, I got cake, and most of my friends were Utd supporters. Edited August 8, 2021 by sparrow1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Was watching his YouTube clips, and realised I’d forgotten how good a player he is. His fbref stats are phenomenal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Angel was doing something similar until 9 became available? I also remember thinking that a striker wearing number 8 was strange at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Well it will take him a while to get going. He has missed the Pre season games and it will be tough for him. Hopefully he gets through and show his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had him for 6 months. 6 months earlier than we actually wanted to buy him by all accounts too. And he's had one injury that's kept him out for games we didn't intend to have him for anyway. So yeah it's a bit much to be asking 'is he ever not injured'. Never known a group of fans like it, guys barely been able to pull the shirt on and we're on his case and questioning if he's capable for a player they've never seen. Grealish misses 15 games a season and we can't imagine life without him. Same guys will be in the speculation thread saying 'maybe we can make Sanson convince Kamara to come here' Fat chance Edited August 8, 2021 by HalfTimePost 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if 3 months with an ankle and 3 months with a knee - or 6 months with a knee. He's barely played for anyone since Dec 2020. (He was out for a few weeks just before we purchased him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
