So sorry Jack, forgot you are the modern day **** Pele. The reaction to the things he's been saying is wild. It's really not that bad, and I don't see how it's disrespectful to suggest that the quality of player at City is higher than here. Is that wrong? And is it surprising he'd say it in a city interview, on their YouTube channel? The hate he's recieving overall is way over the top. Just before he left the general consensus was that he was handling the whole situation really well, not kicking up a fuss and treating the club with respect. Now suddenly the script has flipped and he's some sort of evil traitor and people are hoping he gets seriously injured. It's completely unnecessary. Yes, it's unfortunate that he left and we have every right to feel bad about it, and we have a right to voice those feelings. But Jesus Christ, he's not suddenly turned on us, hating us or deserving of actual serious injury. We used to love him and he did a lot of good for us, is that all going to be forgotten? There's a large difference between not being a fan anymore and actively hating him. It just doesn't make any sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the dude and as I said above probably just reading too much into the second quote that was posted. I've said before I appreciate what he did for Villa but not the way he dealt with the whole situation of getting to City. I know you are not really alluding to me in regards to saying hope he gets hurt and all that. I would never wish that on my worse enemy and anyone who does is despicable I concur.

Yeah I should point out that wasn't directed at you. I was just a little taken aback by your comment but you've addressed that already. It's a general comment that I've been thinking about for a bit now. He's not a Villa legend by a long shot, but his contribution to the cause cannot be understated and the amount of money he left for may well have left us in a much stronger position than before he left, with enough left over for us to even turn a profit. That could well be brilliant news in the next transfer window, allowing us to strengthen even more over a shorter period of time. Nobody needs to be his fan anymore obviously, but the hate he's getting is just sad as far as I'm concerned. I'll remember his time here fondly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem kind of hard to believe that he said that. To be fair, at around 15:30 he's asked a question along the lines of 'at Aston Villa it was all down to you to create anything, how will you find it having other players who can also create things?' and after talking about playing for England he says 'you have to remember, we did have players at Villa who were extremely talented and could create as well.' So he responds quite well to a fairly awful question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The mans a complete dumbass, very talented at football and good at keeping in shape but in every other aspect of adult life he’s as thick as ****. He has and will forever say and do dumb stuff. I think most just need to let it go now and ignore him. He isn’t Villa anymore. I’m not 100% convinced he ever really was based on those Man U quotes. He’s one of them now and an opposition player. I realise I’m contributing to this but let it go and let this thread drop apart from posters who like ‘brand jack’.

It's completely unnecessary. How many actually feel that way, though? I mean, how many seriously wish him serious injury? I’ve said some pretty awful things about various footballers over the years. I say them in affect. I don’t actually mean them… …most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Sensitive bunch in here. New signing bigs up world class players in comparison to players he played with that aren't world class. I'm sure Mings and McGinn are roping up as we speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I mean it's not like we weren't saying we were signing Buendia and Bailey to take the load off him and give teams more to think about all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Nothing he has said is controversial at all. He's bigging up his new teammates. Every player who joins a better* team does the same. He was responding to questions. Its not a secret that Mahrez, KBD, Foden etc are better then El Ghazi, Trez and Wesley! What is he meant to do? Wear black and mourn us forever like an old Italian widow? He's just a bloke, excited at joining a team full of superstars. *Let's be honest, City are much better than us at the moment, not even close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 So ober him now. And i believe a world record in terms of a fee recieved for an academy player. Which shows 2 things. One he is a late bloomer and 2 we held on to him for far longer than would be normally expected. Happy days . Good luck apart from when you play us or play in a final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on about attacking talent specifically, so the quote didn't have anything to do with Konsa and Mings, or our defensive side at all. He's correct because even Smith and Purslow said we had a massive over-reliance on him, thats why we purchased three players to replace him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think he's got the class to do the traditional not celebrating thing scoring against a former team. "Yeeeeeesss, I put one in past the former Jack Grealish promotional vehicle, get in!!" Hopefully Mings, Martinez and Konsa don't let him get close to proving it one way or another.

His careless driving and other off the field antics make me think he's not a man who thinks, period. He's thick as shit, and a bit of a word removed. Just happens to be a very good footballer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
