That in essence would be moronic on their part and they are far, far from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like he knows he's good enough (he clearly is), and the exposure to real elite football / players over the summer may have whetted the appetite even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have no idea do I, nobody does. I hope and think that Buendia will prove to be a good signing, but he isn't a one-man guarantee of survival, as Norwich found. I'm not sure how much Young is going to play. Other players arriving is possible, and of course they might make a huge difference, but equally they might not, it's just guessing at this point. What I am saying is that our squad minus Grealish but plus Young and Buendia - leaving aside hypothetical other signings - seems likely to me to be significantly closer to the relegation zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's our captain and the belief from some of our fans that he will not remain loyal, that he will just give it all up for a seat on the bench at City or as a rotational player just to go win some uncertain trophys or medals I find unreal to be fair. If we have fans thinking like this then maybe we don't even deserve to have him here anyway because why should Jack stay at a club and play all loyal when you don't give him any loyalty or love back when he needs to hear our support.

Keyblade Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 lol @ Jamie O'Hara slating Grealish, let me guess this was on Talksport? Just like yesterday how Charlie Austin (yes) was saying Wan-Bissaka is not good enough for United and they need a new RB urgently. They say things to get fans wound up to call in. Can't believe people actually listen to that drivel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't possibly think they're spending the thick end of a hundred million quid on a player they're just not going to bother to play.

Spoony Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 6 minutes ago, KevinRichardsonsMoustache said: Interesting post: I remember the Quickly Kevin interview with Jamie Carragher, who grew up an Everton fan, talking about his time at L'pool. Eventually, the money became so significant that his dad stopped caring, even while his old pals mocked him for sitting in a box at Anfield. Perhaps our own marketing spin about Jack being 'one of our own' etc masks how shallow it is? This is my take. Has anyone actually heard the words “my club, my city” come out of Grealish’s mouth? Whether we like it or not his brand is bigger than Aston Villa now. If he moves he will revel in so much media attention, actually start for England, win trophies, etc. It’s so blind to assume he would actually want to stay and be a Villa legend rather than just being another golden child of football for the international football community to fawn over and. If he does want to be a Villa legend then that’s amazing but that’s an absolutely massive if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
