Big Salad Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 3 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Grealish is class but fans go on about him like he is Maradona. If he goes then **** him, we move on. I agree. Obviously he is a fantastic player, but I really don't buy some fan's rhetoric that we will suddenly become relegation candidates because he's gone. Have brought in Buendia and looks decent will get Bailey. Nom reason to step up to the edge of a cliff if Jack goes imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubliner Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm fully convinced he's off. Just hope if I'm right that it's done and dusted in the next week. Really hope we spend the money wisely and don't do what Spurs did with the Bale money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It is a bit typical Villa fan that we’ve spent most of Jack’s time at Villa worrying he would leave. Modern football is transactional for everyone involved. Just enjoy players whilst we have them, move on when they leave. I mean Christ even Man Utd can’t always hold onto their stars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Even if he goes the hysteria is childish, great player but Villa have won one trophy since Grealish was born, he hasnt been carrying Villa for decades the way people are overreacting If he does I wont hold a grudge, disappointed but thats life 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_sun_never_sets Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Can't stand city. They've gradually ruined football over the past 10 years and this would be the final nail in the coffin. Don't do it Jack. Stay and be part of something special not something soulless. Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoVillan1983 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I will be honest. If it were me in Jack's shoes, I think I would move to City... He's definitely given us a lot longer than anyone else would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 19 minutes ago, ThunderPower_14 said: Don't get me wrong, I hope they fold tomorrow as much as anyone, but while they have oil money propping them up they'll be able to offer him more trophies and european football than we will, and he'll be able to play with some of the best players and coaches in the world. The trade off he has to make is that those trophies and European matches will be won at a club that means nothing to him. Imagine if he went to Man City and we won the FA Cup and made the Champions League in the next couple of years. That would surely sting quite a bit Richest clubs or best teams maybe but not one of biggest clubs - they can’t even fill their ground on occasions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Nonsense. He’s an absolute star and gave us another year when we were nearly relegated!!!! A lot has changed in a year and he has progressed a lot. He is now an international star. Everyone just stop with this hyperbole. We should be grateful he gave us another year when he didn’t have to. Of COURSE he wasn’t going to stay for another 5 years. The contract length is meaningless (I mean ffs if he stays he will be getting ANOTHER new contract). ”We are Aston Villa”. remember this means we are often relegation candidates and cannon fodder. Sure that seems to be progressively improving but a ‘middle-aged’ footballer can’t hang about waiting for us to become CL candidates again. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
