In the fours, is not good enough for this guy - its looking like a really poor move on his part, driven by ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2021 The (very strong) likelihood is he will win stuff there. Trophies, medals. He might not win a league title this season (I hope he doesn’t), but he will within the next few years. And he’ll make a sickening amount of money there too. Ultimately it will be a good move for him. I’m not sure how good a move it will have been for City. Or rather, how necessary a move it will have been for them. I think he will do better out if it that them. My hunch is he won’t be “the star” when winning these things. He’ll play his part, but someone else will more often than not be in the spotlight. Again, my hunch. I don’t know how much that would matter to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's done so far is excellent.."). Doesn't particularly sound like a 'dressing down'; he's essentially saying: this is what 'stepping up' to the next level means and requires. He played the Championship which was as many midweek games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Villa he was very much the local boy come good, combined with being one of the most naturally gifted players ever to wear the claret and blue - even if he had a duff game, he could be forgiven due to his contribution as a whole. At Citeh, he may get more global exposure but to a very fickle, expectant fan base. When it’s going well, I imagine it’s amazing but a couple of lesser performances could see you panned to oblivion! He’s made his bed and he can lie in it, with the jeers ringing in his ears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been a spectacular start for sure, but for it to seem an outright poor move, Villa have got to start doing the business with their half of 'the equation' and get moving back up the table (if Villa lose tomorrow and Leeds beat Norwich, the latter will draw level with Villa - and Watford - on points).

Xela Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 He's already done something at Citeh that he wouldn't have ever achieved at Villa - play in the Champions League. He wont' be as appreciated by the plastic mancs like he was here, but thats the deal with the devil isn't it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they wouldn't have drained him in terms of momentum and confidence, because of his natural playing level relative to that of a lot of Championship players (plus he was two or three years younger then).

I am sure the automatic starts for England, the high odds of winning trophies and the extra millions will cushion the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
