Most unique player we're every likely to see play for the Villa who also dragged us from the brink back to the Prem. He deserves better regardless of how or why he leaves. I am with you on this.....but for the sake of the great club we support, if he does go, we need to see beyond it.

rbcuk Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I was more disappointed when we sold Yorke to now, if we do sell Grealish, as the money quoted is silly amounts and with the amount of games he misses with his shins, hope he’s used to being in and out of the match day squad at city now and again unlike playing every week when fit here Edited July 31, 2021 by rbcuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a shirt for a player that’s heavily linked to leaving then you can’t claim you didn’t know when he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangarooVillan Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 3 minutes ago, TRO said: I don't think its been any different in the sense the top teams cherry pick the lesser teams best players.....its just the sums of money are different and the agents are in the players ears, like flies on a donkey and the media want their predictions to come true, for credibility. There are so many moving factors, you have to be aware of replacing every player, Ollie could go, and we will have to replace him.....sadly its modern football, as I have said, not to get too emotionally attached, its that what consumes us. Despite players attempts to tell us different, its their jobs and behind the scenes they see the warts 'n all.....That must have an affect on them. from Jack standing on the terraces, to playing in the top flight with Villa....He must see a world of difference....That must affect his vulnerability and emotional standing.....eventually, its just a Job, albeit quite different from ours. In time, if Jack goes I will generally be appreciative of what he has done for us and the player he became, although I think I may always mildly resent the the notice being relatively short. But right now, and into the future the thing I’m mostly angry about is what I have bolded above. This is the state of modern football and it’s sterile and 100% dictated by money. If Jack goes to city just an extra visceral example of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Talk of us being in a relegation battle if Grealish goes is wildly pessimistic. If you compare the team we will have to what we had two years ago and we're better/the same in literally every position bar Grealish. GK: Martinez > Heaton/Reina LB: 2021 Targett > 2019 Targett CB: 2021 Mings = 2019 Mings CB: 2021 Konsa > 2019 Konsa/Engels RB: Cash > Guilbert/Elmo CM: 2021 Luiz > 2019 Luiz CM: 2021 McGinn = 2019 McGinn Wingers: Bailey/Traore > Trezeguet/El Ghazi CAM: Buendia < Grealish ST: Watkins > Wesley Obviously we don't know exactly where Buendia for example will play but even if Bailey is our only other major signing (and if Grealish goes he won't be), we're in MUCH better shape. Very real chance that 3rd and 4th choice CMs this season could be McGinn and Nakamba. Two seasons ago it was Hourihane and Lansbury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It would be absolutely horrendous PR for the club to not offer refunds (at least in store credit) or exchanges for Grealish shirts if he goes. He's got 4 years on his deal ffs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The people in the club shop know **** all about any of our incomings or outgoings. Amazingly, all those journos that are so well connected with our club, said nothing about Bailey today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
