Most others would have left after we just avoided another relegation on the last day the following season. He obviously loves Aston Villa. It was a professional decision to make the jump to City. He's earned the move. All this snake talk is embarrassing, frankly. He was the brightest star to play for Villa in my 26 years following the club. It's been a thrill. I thank him for that, and wish him well. It is sad to see that promo video. But look at where we are now as a club, in large part because of Jack Grealish! Exciting days ahead, and I suspect he will look on with nire than a tinge of envy for missing out on what is around the corner for the Villa. He wanted to go last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people keep regurgitating this nonsense as if he was anywhere near the player he is now, back then, or that anybody wanted him at the time? Is it a coping mechanism? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Must have been so hard for Jack ‘the legend’ to be the highest paid Villa player ever and still put a release clause in. Coward couldn’t wait to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 His leaving posts have got me as expected. I’m gutted. I’m not a child, I can respect the fact we’re a million miles off City and can’t offer him the trophies and European football. He helped get us promoted, he pretty much single-handedly kept us up and now we’ve got £100m from him to move on and start a new era. It’s absolutely nothing like the Delph situation. I’m devastated it’s come to an end but I personally wish him the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t blame him, but the hero/legend talk is nauseating. A very good player who is now an ex-player, nothing more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
