This is where a lot of the anger comes from, and why if he'd stuck around for another year and we had another season middling mid-table season like the last one there wouldn't be anywhere near as much venom if he left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it'll be the fans who get hit with higher ticket prices etc. It's not just a Man City issue either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said countless times, De-Bruyne, Marez, Foden, Bernado, Sterling, Gundogan, Torres, Rodri. THEY DON'T EVEN NEED HIM!!! It's the Bayern ethos of just taking the other teams' best players just in case. Don't want them getting any big ideas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivevilla Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm curious how others will feel if he comes back near the end - let's say a 30-something year old JG with a few CL medals at home. Would you take him back or tell him to piss off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack coming along has been great, for once a stand out player to come through the ranks not seen since Gary shaw and Brian Little days......but to see the clear progress being achieved (from the dark days) promotion and the FA Youth Cup, the academy which is buzzing, fills me with hope, I have long felt, we was aone man team, but kept my own counsel in fear of appearing ungrateful....Jack has given us all untold satisfaction in his superb play......but I want a team, I want my Villa Back and gradually, I can see it coming back. I am still keen to see us strengthen centre midfield, I think its a clear weak spot.....That done, I think we can surprise a few, with out Jack.....but in order to keep players, we need to be constantly improving. Its this incremental improvement that keeps me going.....from 1960 to now and just got my new season card. I have never had rose tinted glasses and can see our warts 'n all, very clear......but I think we will go on from strength to strength, just sad Jack couldn't do it with us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what state Grealish will be in in five years though, let alone when he's 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't. I think he'll go. But I was told today that as of last night it was still 50/50 and he still had to speak to the owners which would indicate that as of last night nothing was finalised. I was also told that meeting wasn't yet which was the most interesting thing, because if true this saga has a couple of days more to run and the media are jumping the gun. How much has changed or escalated today I'm not sure but funny how it isn't playing out quite like the media are reporting and he keeps landing in Manchester, without actually landing? Whether anything has been agreed or not this club is all he has ever known. That's a monumental thing to walk away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem will be like the Scottish league soon. part of the problem is sky and the media you'll tune in to say spurs first game of the season (well i **** wont...) and i can guarantee it they will drop some sort of notion in there that spurs are contending for the title let alone top 4 and CL, they will talk about what nuno can do this year to make it click, i'll definitely guarantee that they'll talk them up as this european bollocks favourites they'll then do the same for leicester, even everton and leeds for the CL it already is the scottish league but it markets itself as this magical competition where the odds of teams winning is seemingly akin to buying a raffle ticket right now there are 3 teams that can win the league, one of them has spent £1bn in 8 years and a further £150m to try and make it happen, one of them spent £200m last summer and want to spend another £100m on 1 player this summer and the 3rd won it last year and are now looking to spend £250m to retain it its **** bullshit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack's burnt his bridges now this love affair is over for him, large amount of fans will not forgive him for this. It's the most high profile player Aston Villa have lost from those big names in the past and what's made it harder to accept is " He's meant to be one of us" Surely his advisors could of said Jack 1 more year and you will know if villa are heading further on the right direction and like you said if we go backwards his move absolutely would have alot less venom and hatred.

He did say if he wasn’t a footballer he’d be a club promoter in the Med somewhere. It’s not enough to be the biggest earner in Villa’s history it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
