VillaChris Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The players are trying out there but it's clear there's a complete lack of confidence on the field we're capable of doing anything without Jack in the final third. Safe and predictable passing. It's hard work even trying to score a goal out there for last 6 weeks so I dunno but I'm not convinced by yet another bright future if our season basically ends if he dosen't play for two months. At least our results since mid Feb are the best advertisment around for desperately needing a summer transfer window where we sign quality over quantity.

MrBlack Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 This injury must be putting any club off buying him, silver linings and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Worrying that Smith mentioned get him scanned again. He is missing out on the Euros at this rate and that is such a travesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 Greg Evans just said the grealish injury was looking like the same injury as before. Doesn't sound like he will be back that soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 In fairness Smith has not said at any time that Jack was recovered or even recovering. His terminology was all about "controlling it" which means playing through pain either with or without pain killers. I fear its exactly the same injury as last time and he is not going to recover for very many weeks ..... the only question is whether he actually can play through the pain. Feel for the lad ..... what a time to fall apart ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically Grealish met Steve Bruce in a kebab shop a few weeks ago. Steve introduced Jack to a new cabbage salad to put in his kebab. Jack liked the cabbage so much, he has agreed to sign for Newcastle in the Championship next season, so he can find out the secret cabbage recipe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) He might just have to play through the pain with injections or else he might risk losing his euro spot. Edited April 4, 2021 by KAZZAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJay Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm a smith fan, but he's fuelling the conspiracy theories, the modern social media fan wants info right away. He's injured, that's it, it's obvious the original injury was 6-8 weeks and Smith should have just said that's what it is, anything less would have been a bonus.

Same rumours that went round when he had his kidney injury and the first shin splints problem. Basically, he's not injured but has an ongoing cocaine problem which he keeps periodically getting caught out for, hence the 'suspicious' hushed up injuries with no set end date. Implication being each injury is cover for him serving a drugs ban. The whole FA are in on it to protect their poster boy. I suffer with shin splints myself, they flare up randomly, sometimes lasts a week, sometimes much longer. It's bitter blue nose bollocks, basically. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The guy has an injury. It's a stress related injury so until you put it through intense work you're never sure how it's going to go. It's frustrating. All the daft rumours - which range from being addicted to Wine Gums or a Werewolf - are just laughable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) The rumours are mostly being fueld by fans of other clubs who are desperate for them to be true, we don't need Villa fans joining in a fuelling them as well. As if we would be photographing him in training and asking him to pretend that he's fit. Edited April 4, 2021 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It would be a typical slanderous attempt by that lot to discredit our best player... (I know incredible how tiny minds work) Basically jealousy manifesting itself as infantile rumour-mongering. He's injured nothing more and the originator of this slander should be identified and prosecuted for defamation of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't respond to rumours but the lack of transparency around injuries is strange, if it's to keep the other teams guessing around his injury status, i still don't see the point, we need to be more than Jack FC. The best sides in the world would miss a player of Jacks quality but the track record of villa and injuries in general is strange, Jack, Barkley Engels, Hause etc., Have all been missing for what we're told is weeks and ends up being months and it just fuels unnecessary rumours.
