Wait a second, our last Trophy was in 1995-96, the season Jack was born, and we've not won anything since... He's the reason we've not won anything since! and he's taking one for the team and giving City the curse instead, genius!

Assume will happen in the next half hour, if doesn’t I think there’s still some serious conversations going on inside his head and with his family. Sorry to break it to you but he’s gone.

Legacy tarnished because of the manner after the contract renewal and the shit he come out with on signing the new deal. To think he'd been planning this at the back end of last season would not surprise me if this is why we were reluctant to bring him back. To concerned about himself. Yeah, he given us some great moments. We've watched him grow, but lets not also forget how much the fans invested in him over the years, elevating him as much as anything. You don't snake off to win trophies and then come back when you've finished poncing about like some come home hero. FFS, what is the world coming to. I'm not in too much on us bringing Young back either but Jackanory is another level of turncoat in my book. Might seem petty to some but that's me unfortunately when it comes to Villa. VTID and militant with it. seeing young on the bench who used to be our main man shows how far we've come though i'd have jack back just so he can rot on the bench and play keepie ups at half time, watching the villa fans singing the names of their new heroes and not his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why offer terms to a player who has "gone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he should have been out of the way at Bodymoor Heath with a fitness coach. Not plastered all over social media. I hope his blisters get really sore.

Possibly. Either way, I'm glad Grealish is the one that comes out of this looking bad. We need to be united behind Smith and NSWE now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour of the facilities, having his family there, videos, pictures, meeting the players and coaches and owner. This transfer has broken the English record and he’s their star signing. Probably a shit ton of stuff for him to do before they actually release the nail in the coffin tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent has been agitating this all along, including chatting pure shit. Because he's a massive vagina. Also, terms being agreed is not a deal being done. Villa had not accepted a bid at that point, and had planned to keep him. Actually, I no longer care. Think what you like.

Not plastered all over social media. I hope his blisters get really sore. Too be fair, Villa didn’t plaster him all over social media. It was just people staying at the hotel. I would assume the plan to practice there had been set for awhile… Although who knows, maybe they did it in London so it would be easier for him to meet the owners in person? I dunno.
