Its his choice of course but in the long run his departure could trigger something even bigger for Villa and Jack will have contributed to that. We're on seperate paths now but could end up both getting what we want. Contributed by chasing a move for months, allegedly meeting with their CEO and Pep, pushing it all till 8 days before the season starts. One year after chasing Man United and 3 after agreeing to go to Spurs. He has been flirting with other teams whilst saying “this is my club” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The thing that pees me off most about the commentary is the implication that Jack will improve so much under Guardiola???? I must have missed the huge improvement in Sterling's game over the last 12 months - I know he scored some goals at the Euros but in general his game has gone significantly backwards hence the lack of playing time last season. I'm not sure who he has improved significantly other than those that would have developed naturally with experience. He largely takes very good players and gets them play as a team. And then attempts to be too clever in his selection/fit too many Foden and Grealish types in (he is the ante-Safegate) and loses the big games. And have they not seen how much Jack has developed over the last few seasons and would have continued to do so with the addition of Bailey and Buendia! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like being dumped and realising you really are better off without her. Bet this prick squeezes his toothpaste from the middle of the tube as well.

jacketspuds Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’m assuming we’re waiting for Man City to release their £40m Spielberg directed welcome video for Grealish before we can officially announce anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that just me? Let us all know when you get your occasional quicky with Jack - can we please keep the thread open for these updates?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I hope they don’t try and use the idiotic minority of the fan base to make Jack out to be sympathised with and not the mercenary he revealed himself as Edited August 5, 2021 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks for memories Jack. Some fantastic performances and great goals. Obviously you know what's going on at both clubs - and the chances of it not working out are slim. I do think you might have overlooked the juggernaut that is starting to roll at Aston Villa - and you could have been the figurehead of that. Your call. Best wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Thomas Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Bye Jack. Was angry and disappointed in him a few days ago, but already feels like old news and don't wish him ill. Just feels like an irrelevance now - a sideshow and nothing more. I am quite amazed how positive I feel about it all, almost relieved it's nearly over. It certainly doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I suppose 100m and signing new exciting players will do that. Just want to focus on our players now and honestly can't wait to get down Villa park and support them all - new and old. Very proud of our club and our team. UTV Edited August 5, 2021 by Gary Thomas 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot understand any Villa fan who would want to leave at this time. I understand this view completely, but part of the difference between him and us is that we are all fans, but he's also an elite level athlete. You don't get to those levels without incredible levels of commitment and determination. Yes he probably does feel torn and might not want to go from a fans perspective, but if you're determined enough to get to the level he has, and you have an opportunity to potentially go up even more in a new environment, it stands to reason he'd consider it, and decide it's something he wants to do. I don't want him to go, and when he does I won't be welcoming him back whenever he plays for the opposition, but similarly I won't boo him. He'll just be another athlete, another opponent. He's decided to leave where most fans wouldn't, but most fans would never be able to get to the position he's in anyway, and the traits that got him there are why this is happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moustache of Teale Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I always said to mates who support other teams that Grealish is one of those players, who, if he plays for your team, you love him, but if he played for someone else, you would think he was an absolute word removed. I was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 People are angry now but I'm sure we'll be welcoming him back with open arms later in his career. That's if the club hasn't surpassed him by then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
