According to the media who said he was moving for 80/88/95m /90m and one player and much more for around 5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blunther Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just now, Spoony said: No thanks. It’s our club. Our city. Our home. He isn’t welcome back over the threshold tbh. I didn’t feel this strongly with Young, Milner or Barry as they were doing the right thing by leaving really. I get his motivations and that’s all fine but he’s abandoned his boyhood club at a time of exciting transition where he’s the captain and we are really going places. He’s no more a Villan than Kevin de Bruyne Absolutely no thanks to an over the hill Freakish coming back for a last payday and a nostalgia trip to feed his ego. He's made his bed. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’m not just saying this because he has left but he really does go down easily. I’ve just watched videos of both Ings and Bailey taking on players and they are touched by defenders but stay on their feet because it’s not enough to take them down. I’m just picturing Jack in the same situation and you know he would fall Watch the videos yourself it don’t believe me. We can start being honest about him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Wouldn’t surprise me if he only had 4 years at the top - if his shins are bad it might be his only chance to play for his new boyhood club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we didn't go up at the first attempt, he stayed When we were penniless and nearly ruined, he stayed When we went up, he stayed When we nearly went back down, he stayed Now that things are looking good, he's leaving in exchange for £100M. He hasn't slagged the club off, he hasn't demanded a move, he has played his heart out and he deserves to go off and win a few trophies (real trophies like the Premier League or Champions League). Villa are at least 4 years off competing (assuming we can continue to improve), this is a very competitive league, and for a team so reliant on the form and fitness of one individual this move gives us a chance to improve as a team even if we lose our star. Nobody is bigger than the club, and it's small time of us to bleat about him going. I wish him all the best, i won't look for Man City results, i don't really care how successful he is or isn't but i thank him for what he has done for us and for our club, and i hope that one day he might come back and wear our colours again. What a good post. I agree with every word you've written. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is his own biggest fan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of situations over the years where we'd be have been in a much better position attack wise had he stayed on his feet. Though, I think with Villa and the players we have it was more of case of winning a dangerous free kick so we were happy for him to go down. I think Pep will demand that he has to stay on his feet more tbh. All those niggly little fouls break the fluidity of their play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 All those hoping he’s miserable and regrets his move are going to be disappointed. So let’s get through the announcements, then mute him on social media, remember the good times and focus on Villa. Id like Mings to be announced Captain shortly after the departure announcement and a cheery interview with him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Honestly looking forward to talking about him without claret and blue tinted glasses on now. We’ll start to see why other fans hate him so much. Before we wernt allowed to say a bad word about him. It was blasphemy. Good Luck Jack.
