I think him not starting is good for Villa. Edited July 3, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a player represents their national team, who pays their wages means absolutely nothing. If Grealish scores the winner in the final, it isnt a victory for Aston Villa, it's a victory for England. It's no different to West Ham fans trying to say they "won the World Cup". It's cringey and small time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Grealish should have been involved way more than he has been not just in this tournament but going further back. Also worth pointing out that if it wasn't for Grealish there's a strong chance that England wouldn't even have got this far. It would surprise me if Jack starts another game in the tournament. He will get on if England find themselves in a hole and need a goal or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platt was also great for England in World cup 1990 although probably most of us were too young to see that live. He left soon after anyway so it's not always a good thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you feel if you failed to celebrate an England win cos JG didn’t get picked and then he f**ked off to City a fortnight later anyway? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the he needs to play for a big club line then why is Foden not playing after being one of City’s best players? Give it a rest man. Lol, you seem to have some issues with differential opinions. Perhaps it's time to go to bed now!? He gave Jack a hug after the game, I'm sure that will have meant the world to him. It's not like these players want to play or anything. They're just happy to make up the numbers. Lol. And fwiw Foden is equally undeserving of a place on the bench.

useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'll be glad when the whole thing is over, get fed up of hearing about Southgate and the whole Grealish thing, same with when England have friendlies. Looking forward to pre-season now (i'm not taking part, I mean seeing who we sign, sell, and how we get on in the friendlies in preperation for the new season) which will hopefully see Grealish sign a new deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love him to be a major star of euro 2021...however rival fans (and not just those in UK) will be squinting at league table and wondering what player this good plays for a team that finished bottom half in the league. Puts pressure on us to get even better very quickly rather than just sticking around 10th-11th next season which you get from a few on here. That won't be getting Jack signing a new deal anytime soon given the company he is now keeping, isn't his best mate Ben Chilwell? That is a concern him telling him every day how much better it is at Chelsea compared to Leicester and Leicester were top 6 team in his final season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very unhappy if he was overplayed returning from injury and missed the start of our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also If he becomes a star on the world stage he sells more shirts. So if we demand 150 million for him, City will pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heskey and Milner both started first game while Warnock was unused sub. Heskey and Warnock just became expensive wastes of time straight after and Milner left us two months later. Thought Ashley Young made the squad aswell but he didn't. Barry also started playing up and wanting to leave once he started a few games for England. Southgate also put in a transfer request just before euro 2000 started IIRC. S We don't have a great record keeping key players once they become regulars for England tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God i must be happy to be agreeing with him At villa Grealish is the main man, the go to guy and rightly so as our form showed when he was injured. In the top 4 English clubs or the European elite that won't be the case and that's why they are up there and we are not. Yet. But you're missing my point there's a difference between a successful club and a big club. And, we are, without doubt a big club, and always have been, and always will be. Fact.
