I'm sure when he's washed up and spewed out he'll want another payday from the Villa. F him. Let him go to West Ham or Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish was literally Villa family, from birth, ancestry and development as a player. "My city, my club". We were building a team round him. No comparison. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Wurzel said: I can't speak for anyone but myself, but as a Villa fan, if I was at the club at the moment, with this ownership, and this squad, with the potential the club has, wild horses couldn't drag me away to join another club. I cannot understand any Villa fan who would want to leave at this time. Fair enough but did you really see us making the champions league this season or winning a trophy. We are still two or three years away from doing that and Grealish is mid twenties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And weren't on the up. And he never claimed to be a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can see it now during his interview: Grealish - "i would like to say to all the Villa fans, from the bottom of my heart, the fans i love, the club i love, my home, my club.....i'd like to take this opportunity to apologise......TO ABSOLUTELY F****** NOBODY, THE PLASTIC SNAKE DOES WHAT THE F*** HE WANTS" (McGregor meme for anyone unsure) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I think it's a case of quit on a high with him. Never going to come back to us while he's better than he is now, and we'll have moved onwards (and hopefully upwards) by the time he would. He'll demand a massive salary from wherever he ends up after City, and we're better of using all the 100m we get from him elsewhere. All hypothetical and many years off even considering it, especially given he still hasn't officially left (what's the delay?).

Mantis Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 When Young left Lerner had already closed the chequebook and we were already on a clear downward trajectory. Literally the exact opposite is true now yet Mr "My Club My City My Home" for whatever reason has a burning desire to leave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I get the idea of not letting sport affect you too much emotionally, and it doesn’t usually, but this is a gut punch. He’s pretty much the reason I started watching and enjoying football again. Add in the homegrown, ‘one of us’ factor and the idea of him leading us on an upward trajectory and it feels like it was a once in a lifetime type of thing. I’m going to lie, I can’t help resenting him now. The memories are tainted. He’s taken the easiest, most soulless route to the top but **** hell, I’m going to miss him.

I just wanted something concrete and the photo of him in the Man City car got me there. I’m in the angry phase now! All the fluffy stuff now from others about wishing him well and we shouldn’t be call him a snake just grates at me at the moment. One of our own turns his back on us, he’s a snake and he can go f##k himself! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 31 minutes ago, penguin said: I've lost so much love for the game recently, particularly with the implementation of VAR in the Premier League and the bias in its usage. This is another sizeable brick out of the wall for me just starting to feel a numbness to it all now. A lot of the shine of football has been lost for me. I always knew it was a soul-less money making machine, but there was always hope under the surface that the mold could be broken with a bit of luck and careful planning. We had the perfect setup for it, but even that wasn't immune from being picked at by the status quo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I would be more discouraged if we lost Jack without recouping some attacking prowess during this window. With the addition of Ings, Buendia, Bailey, and maybe Cantwell we more than made up for that and in the long-run I think will be a better team overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he tries to come back washed at age 36 for some sort of nostalgic “last ride with my club” BS then he can not even bother He's got one chance to come back and that's tonight, anything else and he can do one.
