I was busy with school at the time and couldn't really watch games so I'd be following from the newspapers. It was a three way battle between ourselves, City and Spurs and we had to play City and City had to play Spurs in the last 3 games. It was heartbreaking when I saw the 3-1 scoreline. But luckily Spurs pipped them to 4th at the end. They finished 3rd next season despite spending a shedload and I was enjoying them not doing much with all that money. But you couldn't hold back that kind of oil spending for too long And by now the only team allowed to spend big without repercussions is them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dealt with it as well. Gutted for a few days but fine now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it helps that there was a stonking transfer fee and we're on the up anyway. Barry hurt because we were close to the CL and they weren't even that much better than us. I accept Jack's decision at this stage of his career, I accept the £100m, I wish him all the best (kind of), onwards and upwards we go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll have every success but I'd love us to finish in Europe and win say the FA Cup, while City end up potless just for a season. If he's any sort of villa fan to know he could have been there when the hoodoo was broke and win a trophy with us would really wring. Especially if he's on the bench/stifled in his play. Saying that we'll probably lose 4th round to Barnsley and Man City will win treble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Tevez, Adebayor, Bellamy that day I think and done us 3-1. Who knew where both clubs trajectories would go at that point Well we knew where City were going, they were ludicrously loaded then as well.

Keyblade Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 In a cruel twist of irony, if the roles were reversed between Kane and Grealish and Jack didn't sack his brother as his agent in favour of Stellar and Kane did his, Jack would still be a Villa player right now and Kane a City player. As much as we hate the job, only one of the agents did their jobs right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Over him now but the one thing i want the footballing gods to arrange is for us to win the Carabou Cup so that we win something before Jack does. It would finish the jack years off properlyand even though he would probably win the league 10 weeks later it would be so good for our soul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 Can you imagine saying the words “No disrespect to Villa” in a sentence if you support that club? Saying it like we’re just some other team. This whole transfer feels like some parallel universe. Jack Grealish has become Wayne Rooney. He’ll be kissing the badge knee sliding into the Holte End next. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 So he's basically saying Mings, Konsa, and every other player he shed blood, sweat, and tears with the last couple seasons are not good enough to play with a God like himself? So sorry Jack, forgot you are the modern day **** Pele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
