Big Salad Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm at the point where I don't even give a rat's ass anymore. If he goes he goes. If stays, he stays. Just want something decided so fans and club alike can move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 6 minutes ago, bobzy said: What the actual **** man Footballers get a very short career and very few of them are blessed enough to be able to win major trophies. Understandably, you've got a better chance at doing this (currently) at Man City rather than Aston Villa. I imagine that Grealish is weighing up a once-in-a-career move versus trying to win something with his beloved club who are on the up yet still a long, long way behind the top teams. It's a big call, to be fair. He's 25. He could still feasibly win many trophies if he went in, say, 2 years time. Not even in theory at his peak yet. And only signed his new deal 10 months ago. Stop trying to justify this if it happens. It's a bullsh** move and completely not fair on our club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think if a fee has been accepted he will leave. Football careers are short and you want to play at the highest level with and against the best players. If he goes I wouldn’t blame him tbh.

Imagine how he'll feel looking on if we win a few trophies or make the Champions League during his career at another club. I'm certainly not wishing him any luck if he goes. It won't matter how much he loves the club, if it's his job to beat us he's the enemy. I'll be gutted if that's what eventuates while we're still on the up.

Since when was football fair? Its not a bullshit move by any stretch It sadly just what football is Edit - if he moves!!

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Grealish is class but fans go on about him like he is Maradona. If he goes then **** him, we move on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a ton more pressure and the culture of the club he's leaving is a world away from the one he will find. That's short term. Longer term, if Eden's and Sawiri's project with Smith really does keep on getting results at the pace it's gone so far, he might find himself losing some important games to us.

He could also suffer a horrific injury at any point during any game and fail to return to anything like his recent form. Moves to top clubs only come round every so often. The only reason he ever leaves Villa is if he has an opportunity to move to one. This doesn't mean he moves to Man City this summer but, if he does, it's pretty understandable.

I get your point but we rely on him so heavily, second half of last season being the evidence. IF he was to leave we have to spend that money wisely to improve several areas of the team/squad or we could be in trouble (captain obvious, I know).

It's stemmed from his content. I don't begrudge him the move - it's a chance to win serious silverware and let's be honest, we, as a club are miles off. However he will need to own the backlash he will inevitably receive too. Not that I think he'll care. Yes of course. Sure he posts his own stuff but some of it comes from the club and his agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If it's happening we need to be well compensated. £100m just ain't gonna cut it to effectively rip the heart out of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there isn't a clause but just that it hasn't been confirmed by any important party. It's all guesswork and rumours from sources that know nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
