It's very hit and miss and even if we find a gem they will just get poached in the end anyway. Football is dead.

Popular Post Reivax_Villa Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 He’s off, medical is apparently booked for today. Too big of an opportunity to turn down. I will be watching him in the Champions league to see his development. He has given a lot to this club and there are no grudges on my side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get booed by large section of the crowd when he returns and that's one of the consequences of this move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was bigger then Jack and Villa, this was about the game standing up to what's ruining the game. It will never stop, it's a juggernaut that is put of control, the super league will happen in due course and then football will change for the worse forever. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kiwivillan Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 If he leaves to Oilchester a week before season kicks off he's a bigger snake than Delph and MON combined. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We need to look at squeezing the most out of this deal: I hope we got them to plunk the £100m up front and then included a few add ons for the future. Will help us in our FFP (although heaven knows how Citeh fudge it so often) and will allow us to go out and blow other teams out the water. Have to say, I have total confidence in our set up. There is no way our backroom team had not been planning for this scenario. 'If x team offers £100m for Jack, this is what we do: options a, b, c'. Time for us as fans to move on because that's what the club will do: as soon as that money is wired over, it will trigger the next phase. Thanks for the memories, Jack, but the project carries on.

Indigo Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The closer to the season this drags on the worse a position it leaves us in and that's the main thing for me now. If he was so set on going I wish he'd have just done it as soon as possible rather than dragging this out, I do think we can more than bounce back from it but in the short term I'd have been a lot more confident had we a month or two to prepare for the season without it being a dark cloud hanging over us.

Sour way to go but think people will still like him FFS people on here still love Milner and he left as soon as he could later in the season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think loyalty in football is long gone from the players point of view I don’t think that, I think that he’s given up that the club would challenge soon. Towards the end of last seadon, you could see him losing interest. If we got to Europe last season he wouldn’t have done this. But I think his abcense and our performances helped him making this decesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 don't think we should boo him , he's carried us for a few years , been great to watch and he's clearly given a lot for us ... a footballers career is relatively short and all out winning at the end of the day , even if people seem to be bitter about City and their money , by and large the richest clubs have always won things , signed the best players , that wont' ever change .. we use the £100m and kick on by stealing the best talent from Arsenal instead of Brentford . I'll probably watch City with slightly more interest than I have done previously (0%) ,as although no longer one of our players , there is still that element of "we found him first" and having championed him to my mates for years , I want to see how far he can go , he's never going to be Ronaldo levels , but his ceiling is still going to be pretty high That said I think we should all have "My club , My Home" banners to wave for him when he returns to VP I'll be curious to see how it pans out .. the greatest manager in English football , thinks that Sterling , Grealish and Foden cant' play together in the same team and yet Pep , who admittedly isn't a patch on Southgate and can only win things by spending a billion £'s , thinks that they can . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a fan is different to being a fan that is a player. It’s their career and they may have held ambitions to win things long before they broke through to the first team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God I hope electric vehicles become the global norm ASAP. Maybe there will be some rare justice one day soon? They've wiped their arse with FFP and all the other regs, they wiped their arse with our game with this ESL bullshit. Maybe they will get hammered for it? And we have to hand that tin pot nothing club our best player? That's not right. We can't let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really happened about 30 years ago, it just took a lot of us far too long to realise. Still good fun to be had in the lower leagues if you don't take it too seriously, but **** getting bent over by the Premier League for £40+ a ticket and £90 a shirt.

Fairy In Boots Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just now, useless said: The club haven't heled the situation with the whole training in public thing and allowing it to be filmed, got a lot of people's hopes up. Think it was to show they tried, Grealish’s camp will try to spin this as the club wanted to cash in. They didn’t want to, this isn’t on Villa we’ve been tied down with one hand behind our backs all along. Grealish’s PR people plan to have him plain clothed watching us at a game down the line for good PR it’s false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
