villabromsgrove Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 6 minutes ago, TRO said: we look more rounded as a team. I agree. I expressed a concern before Grealish stopped playing because of shin splints, that we had become so predicable with the blindingly obvious "give the ball to Jack" tactic. Our better players had become de incentivised due to their role in supplying JG, and opposition teams knew how to neutralise Villa. "More well rounded" perfectly describes our team play now because our threat has gone from being singular to multi pronged, and as such other teams are having a much harder time setting up to play against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, bollocks to him… Let him be just like Gareth Barry… That Representative for Wellingborough wanted to come back too, and was waiting for the call that never came… Dont need him anymore… We can beat Man United Let see out the rest of his days playing at Everton and West Brom… Yes let him be like Gareth Barry. Wins loads of trophies. Be the all time PL appearance maker and make an absolute shed load of money. That'll learn him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 3/4 years time, Grealish will be 29/30, at the absolute peak of his powers and regarded by everyone on the planet as one of the best players in the World. If we're signing Grealish back from Man City at that point, we won't have simply "progressed", we'll be one of the top sides in Europe. Honestly, I get people feeling hurt by the move but some comments in here are ridiculous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep doesn't sign players without the club knowing. I'm sure he's involved, but it's not like he's going out and buying Grealish for £100m without them noticing.

Danny_Villaman84 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) ^^ my previously post was joke and wish though as he loan and back sign for us. hope 3rd time when he just about retired might back to leeds. Staunton was my memories about him great especial 1994 Cup final was brilliant. love watch his left back play for Villa and Ireland (along Ray Houghton, Paul Mcgrath) Gordon Cowan's play for us 3 time plus 1 time staff. he always devilry good player - he is never let us down.

He'll be at his peak like Kevin De Bruyne currently is. If we can sign him then we absolutely would have progressed. It would be amazing if we've progressed that far.

tomav84 Posted September 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2021 OK 3/4 years was incorrect. but i've seen plenty say that they can see him coming back when he's in his 30s and finishing his career off with us, which i don't want...that's the point i was trying to make anyway, plenty of time for him to make a number of misdemeanors, cheat on his mrs a few times, and generally behave like a clearing in the woods in that time so we wouldn't be interested anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ever reach a point where we are able to turn our noses up at Grealish, we'll have done very well...but it would be very satisfying for him to want to come back at the end of his career and for the club to just leave him hanging.

Probably a good thing he didn't sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
