Popular Post lapal_fan Posted August 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2021 Essentially, what we're saying is, we need a dynasty period to even be considered a top club, and not a 1 off club like Leicester. That's when all the African, Asian, American plastics come and buy your shit and that's when Adidas and Nike come knocking because they want to sell those people that shit. Our market is tiny compared to Arsenal/Liv/Utd/Chelsea/City and that's because they buy players who are marketable and play well, like Jack. And that's why it's oh so disappointing he decided not to be our Totti, because Totti is THE symbol of Roma and he was **** ace as well. That could have been Jack. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies were literally telling you that the chance of them winning the league was one in five thousand. I love Leicester for doing it, but it won't happen again, and it's highly, highly unlikely to happen to Villa. That doesn't mean "we don't believe", "we're shit fans" or "what's the point even following us" - a lot of us just see it for what it is, entertainment. I'm 34 and I don't even think in my lifetime I've seen Villa beat Man Utd at Villa Park yet.. Yeah, it was a total fluke. Literally everything that could've gone right for them went right. Obviously they've since gone on to be a solid top 6 club but I think that's in large part off the back of that league win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Ronaldo be getting a million or so a week I found it odd he said that. It was a strange occurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Bet he was well excited about playing with Ronaldo. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think given the recent news about City players, the contrast in class between us and them could not be starker. Enjoy the money and plastic trophies Grealish you worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I honestly think players such as Jesus and Silva are as good if not better than Jack. 100m was great business for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not sure about that but I do think 100m was great business for us. Hope we use them wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 He barely gets the ball for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 He gets like 5 touches a half. What a change of pace for him. £100m and he's like that new guy that nobody passes to at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though doesn't that also speak to how off the wall that transfer was from a City perspective. He is currently playing as a £100 million decoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Aye, that's why Pep bought him, though I'm in two minds on whether assists vs this Arsenal team should count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I stick to my thought that they didn't need him. I only think they bought him, to raise the commercial side more than anything, thinking he'll be the next Beckham. I mean they claim to be a big team, but no one really stands out as the poster boy fans go for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
