WallisFrizz Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Jeez this is getting nasty now. We’re all gutted and varying degrees of angry but I’m dreading the abuse he’s going to get on his social media and at VP. It’s going to sour every good memory we’ve had in the last few years. Why do it to ourselves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surround him with the quality city have and he will be unplayable imo. Don’t think he will stand out as much with stars around him. They’re all amazing talents in that team.

He's a professional footballer, has the chance to win the european cup, the league, treble his wages, work under one of the greatest managers of all time, etc. The begrudgery is laughable. Good luck to him he owes us nothing and will go down as one of the best players we've ever had. Exactly. Normal employee leaves company in order to further his career in line with his ambitions. "Fair play to him for taking on that new challenge", "good luck, maybe we will work together again in the future" Footballer does the same. "He's a snake, a rat..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after 18 months of no paying spectators. Oh well we know we don't really matter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Zen Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just now, Stevo985 said: How is that defeatist? He's one of the best players in the league. We're a midtable club. He is far too good for us in our current state. Yes we'll improve, i'm sure we will. But he's going to one of the best teams in Europe. Even in our wildest dreams when would be the soonest Aston Villa could offer him the success he'll have at City? 10 years? Saying a player is too good for us just sounds like giving up to me. Like we’re holding him back and that staying with us would be akin to charity. You probably didn’t mean it like that excactly, but any notion of him deserving to leave and being too good really doesn’t sit right with me right now. We’re much better than that, and who’s to say how good we’d be this season if he chose to stay? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 £100m… smashes the record for a British player. Not surprised the club have accepted, now time to reinvest and climb. I thought this would happen a year ago. Bailey, Watkins, Buendia is still a top half forward line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Another thing is, we will finally be able to improve at OUR pace, none of the constant bricking it, and bending over by the club " Oh no, we've got to get Europe/Champions League this season or he is off ". Young team, with constant, steady, sustainable improvement. Who will form a strong bond. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Bye. Just another Dwight Yorke now. I hope we hear something from Nassef, Wes or Purslow following the completion of this deal. Just to reassure we are still moving forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He know he'll get a lot of stick and if he as any sense he'll wait till it all blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, nick76 said: A bit condescending mate. City haven’t confirmed a bid, Villa haven’t confirmed they’ve received a bid, accepted a bid or rejected a bid and Jack has been training with the Villa since he returned from holiday. Every day the reporters report something and when their last report is wrong they move the goalposts. I’m not asking for much, just something a little more concrete before I would change my decision. A photo of him in Manchester, a comment from any of the three parties just something more than journalists that keep getting it wrong. None of the three parties will comment before its official. They never do. Every single respected journalist is stating the same. Its crazy to believe they're all just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do it to ourselves? 100%. There is no bigger waste of time than putting negativity and hate out into the world. It's just a game. He's a great player and fun to watch, that probably won't change, even if he leaves Villa. I'll be happy for him if he does well and I'll get a kick out of it if he flops, but I hope he isn't abused, etc., it will make Villa supporters look really bad, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
