Keep Jack, add one or two more (Alvarez, JWP) and suddenly our team sheet looks like a proper threat to most/any other side in the league. The penny-dropping moment will be delicious. So much this it's unfathomable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 hour ago, desensitized43 said: Do you not think he'll already be a Villa legend? The local lad who came up through the ranks, got us promoted and stablised the club, probably the best player to wear the shirt since McGrath, beating Blues after taking a sucker punch to the head, playing in an England squad that got to the first final since 66. If he wants to leave now to win medals because deep down he doesn't believe the owners can get the club there then who am I to argue that? Take the point about whether he wants be someone who forces the move or not but all players, even legendary ones get to the point where they look around, Shearer with Man U, Gerrard with Chelsea, Messi with PSG/Man City. 1 - No, absolutely not. Everything he has done becomes largely irrelevant if he sets us back massively by leaving and helping to increase the gap between us and teams like Man City. 2 - If he doesn't believe in this project, as a self-professed dyed in the wool Villa fan, then what hope do we have as a club of ever being anything?

I'm all for people disagreeing with my footballing opinion, it's the beauty of football, but that shouldn't result in people being personal with me, there's just no need for it. I don't know who you are or what you are talking about. I'm sorry to hear about this, just ignore them... However, welcome to the forum. Ultimately we are Villa fans, that unites us!

Pick any of the following: Jack has no ambition Jack is scared he can't perform at the highest level Jack's ego wouldn't let him sign unless he had assurances he's play every game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't know why he doesn't just join the team that will win the league by 10 points without him and 25 points with him, where he'll only play 65% of the minutes he's available for. Trying to overhaul that behemoth and all of the others along the way with your boyhood club shows a real lack of ambition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
