Popular Post Midfielder Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's late for me to say this, but I cannot think of seeing again, such an amazing, enviable, literally beautiful footballing intersection in our lives as fans whereby we have a Villa fan as manager, as captain, with a back-room and exec infrastructure that get things right. It's like the ultimate goldilocks zone for our growth and gradual rise up the table to get the club back to where it belongs and we have missed that until recent times. This steady growth is no fluke, it is a by-product of a well run plan that has buy-in from all levels of the club. Look at the quality of our emerging talent, I can honestly say I have never been so excited by our youth as much as I am at present. Whether it is the standard of player we source young from other clubs lately or those already in the development squads knocking on the gaffer's door to get into a matchday squad. Everything, is right with us, as things stand anyway. Jack - please, the superstar life with Man City, the medals, the glory, the wages and perks, the Champions League games... I totally get the attraction. Intrinsically though, deep down, you have a club / employer for life here that will do everything for you. A fanbase that idolises you. Everything is moving in the right direction, jigsaw pieces such as Buendia and Bailey show the progression. You are 25, not quite young, almost "in his prime" years, from what I have seen, it is scary then, that you're not even at your peak yet. De Bruyne etc would be amazing to play with, sure, would help add something to your game. But nobody is guaranteed a start at City, whereas here, you are captain and the life and soul currently of this club. The players we have and are signing, will allow you freedom, lessen the creative burden we have come to depend on from you. The trickery to come, from Bailey and Buendia, their ability to draw players to the ball, exactly the way you do... it is going to be a different season. You will have total oversight of that as captain, our manager on-the-pitch, extreme footballing weaponry at your disposal. Stick around. See it through. Be part of what is coming. It could be something special, even more so with you. After this last year and all what has come of it, sometimes in life the best thing to do is to stick to what you know and what matters deep down. With you here, we are art. With love and hope... a guy in his 40s. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’ve studied the training pictures that the club has just released from the training camp. Absolutely no sign of Harry Kane. Perhaps he went straight to BMH for his medical? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope I'm wrong. What's in it for us to keep him fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to think. I'm just thrashing round in the dark. Well in regards to Kane’s situation, he’s staying away because he’s demanding to be transferred and it’s well known he wants out.

The_Steve Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Bailey mainly plays on the right. He’s there to play alongside Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we think there's a real risk of him going, I would have thought it'd be a priority over him training. Sod having him out training for the last 2 days, we'd need to be preparing what we do with the money, we'd surely not be dicking about waiting 2 days before settling this?

Popular Post It's Your Round Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’ve just looked out into the garden, pondering Jack’s future, along with my own future should this transfer speculation go on for another week, when I saw a blue tit fly straight into a fence post. Me and my cat both agree that this is a very positive sign. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
