VillaJay Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I read a brilliant comparison this morning, we are "like the Corrs without the women" with Jack missing. Hopefully back fit for Fulham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you should look at that and think we're going to beat everyone in the world 4-3 Unfortunatly we have a manager who shares the same snatch a 1-0 mentality as Steve bruce (I'm aware that we'll put 8 past San Marino) Completely the wrong manager for such ability in attack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 not sure if this has been posted but World Soccer magazine dont write these biographies unless you are top of the tree Quote Jack Grealish is the talk of the town after a sensational season for both Aston Villa and England, captaining his boyhood club in the Premier League and becoming a key man ahead of Euro 2020 Sublime Brazilian-like ball skills. Lashings of boldness and imagination. Exceptional ability to dribble at pace. Slicked back hair. Socks at half-mast revealing shin pads the size of a postage stamp. On the field of play, Jack Grealish has no trouble standing out in a crowd. It’s what he’s always done, even cutting a conspicuous footballing figure as an infant. Just ask long-serving Midlands talent spotter Jim Thomas, who first clapped eyes on Jack when the Birmingham-born showstopper was just six years old. Thomas, whose list of discoveries includes Villa, Liverpool and Rangers winger Mark Walters, Manchester United wide-man Lee Sharpe and Derby County striker Dean Sturridge, still has vivid memories of that damp Sunday morning back in 2002, turning up at a park in the Shirley district of Solihull and watching open-mouthed as the kid in the oversized shirt turned on the style for Highgate United in a six-a-side encounter. “You couldn’t fail to miss him,” Thomas told the Birmingham Mail last year. “As soon as I’m there, he’s got the ball in his own penalty area and has dribbled right through the team. He was very small. It was like looking at Maradona.” More on link below https://www.worldsoccer.com/best-of-ws/player-biography-jack-grealish-411613 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Chelsea supoorting mate who said something similar when they ditched Frank Lampard. He's not saying stuff like that any more. Doesn't everyone? And the progress of the Team these last few years has been amazing. We finished 17th and Jack signed a new deal with Smith as manager, after hearing the long term plans for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the club replace Smith with a real managerial heavyweight and have a splurge on top level players, he's not going to stick around for another season of this. This is the increasing worry. Do the board just keep handing him renewed massive contracts to appease him while we wait for Smith to get the club back to the heights that we want to be at - part of Europe's elite. I fear this method won't last forever and it wouldn't suprise me if Jack starts glancing over his shoulder eventually at the other clubs pursuing him that are part of Europe's elite already, if we cannot get there ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) We seem to be going around in circles with the Jack conversations. Let’s just say he wants to leave which is understandable. The club even accept that if the price is right. Now which club out there is going to spend 100M + on Jack. I just can’t see it. Which is why I don’t get how people can say ‘he’s gone in the summer’ with so much certainty. Who the hell is going to pay for him? I see a Wilfred Zaha type situation where his valuation just isn’t met and he has to stay. Edited March 24, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask who is pursuing Jack? Honestly We had no bid from Man Utd in the end last season despite us being on our heels for longer than any of us liked and then he signed a five year contract Some managers have said they really admire him but where is this pursuing of him. A few rag tabloids have done the usual on a slow news day and linked him with no source or anything other than guessing and then moved next day to another player. He's one of the best players around but only a few can afford him and we've already gone through why they wont and to be fair there has been no serious links anywhere. Only really Man City can afford him and we have all debated why in my opinion that wont happen re the other players they have and the expense Jack would take to go there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the media, newspapers and shitty pundits on Sky trying to generate stories and a lot of self promotion. Don't forget, modern day football was made for the so called big clubs and the likes of Sky have to keep them in the news. Modern day reporting is rather lazy and a bit pathetic really but it's the world we live in and i'm afraid it aint going away. If we have the resolve we do not need to sell. Play hardball with whoever, close the door and get on with what we are trying to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
