Awol Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The absolutely maddening part of all this is if he stayed we’d now have a team pushing for Europe. Watkins, Grealish, Buendia and Bailey is a kick-the-back-doors-out-of-it attack. I can’t name a better front four in the league. One or two more in midfield and we’re there. If he leaves now and smashes that up… what can you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want it to happen. Yes and no. He stays and we’ve cracked it anyway. We can still afford to make the additions we need to break the top 6 this season, maybe even top 4 next season. FFP is a slag, but we can do it regardless. If he really was Villa to the core how could he walk away from that and set his own club back? 5 minutes ago, omariqy said: Hes gone - sooner we all accept it the better.

bannedfromHandV Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Jack Grealish is an elite player. Aston Villa are not currently an elite club. It’s about as simple as that. It’s strangely cathartic to remind myself of that, everything else is peripheral ultimately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest club for 100 miles in any direction, the original superpower of football. The originators. The one and only. Even the name is superior. Aston Villa. Will always be elite. Vulgar 2 bob soulless mug clubs like Man City, with their crook owners will never be what we are. Class is permanent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a much worse team in both cases. We've already done the impossible, twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems far from a certainty he’s leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
