The ambition of the club now compared to back then are worlds apart. If southgates tenure was now I don't think he'd push for a move like he did back then. He was a Villa captain, they should be leaders, not walk out on the club and to Middlesbrough. They were a blip, they are not Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many eating humble pie in that regard! It's more their 'insight' stuff I don't like. I had a free trial for throughout the euros and a few of their articles about players I was like WTF are they on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adman Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Bye Jack, thanks for the memories - from the jewell in the Crown to one of man city's many trinkets. I am gutted he's going, but there's many reasons to hope that this will strengthen us in the longer term. We can be unshackled from FFP and reinvest, and not have the annual circus destabilising the rest of the team. Jack has (current) injury / lifestyle problems which the club have given him love and support to get over. The pressure ranks up, and the support and love drops off, so interesting to see where he will be in a year or two...especially if another few trinkets arrive in his place.

Keyblade Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 32 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: Can people not change their mind? Is it not possible that in an interview when he's just signed a new contract that he did think his future was at Villa? 12 months later after he's had a great season, a good Euros, become THE superstar of English football, and has one of the best clubs and managers in the world wanting to sign him for a record transfer on huge wages to play with some of the best players in the world, including his idol in KDB... is it not possible that that could change somebody's mind? I'll never cease to be amazed at the narrow mindedness of Villa fans. As if we have a gods given right to keep every player we want to keep just because we're villa. We're a midtable club. Our best players get sold. It happens. Get over it I don't care about any of that "one of us" stuff, he's a footballer and his career comes first. What really annoys me about this is that he said he fully bought into our project. At the time he had Manchester United in for him, so it's not like nobody wanted to buy him so he just hung around. He spurned their advances to be part of this project. Now, if we didn't make significant strides since then, fair enough. But we did, 20 points better off, the most points for an 11th placed team since the 20 team format began. Broke our transfer record again etc etc. This is a kick in the teeth for footballing reasons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Anyone thinking he's not going to be a success at City is deluded. He's an elite footballer that I hoped we could hold on to for another season. That front 4 was potentially very frightening. We have to get kamada at any cost. His commercial value to us in the far East will mean we can in 3/4 seasons go to City and try signing their best players. Sick of these clubs being able to stop us in our tracks. We need FFP gone.
