We wouldn't even be playing Man City if it wasn't for him I don’t think anyone that says “I’m in it for the five year project” “my city, my club blah blah blah” whilst then inserting a release clause fully knowing he will probably leave within the year deserves anything other than being called a liar liar pants on fire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact that we'd be championship at best without him, and possibly in financial ruins/further down the leagues as worst case. His contribution to getting us in the PL and keeping us there far outweighs anything he said. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were joking earlier. **** sake I remember Jack saves in the West Brom shootout and his defensive performance in the Playoff final when Mings got injured and all them goals he scored dressed as Tammy Abraham Roy of the Rovers for the Tiktok era 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 16 points from 15 games. Across a season, that would have seen us finish 20th. With Grealish, we got 17 wins, 9 draws in 31 games. That would have put us 2nd across a season. We also won our play off games with him. You can pretend it wasn't down to him, but the stats don't lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 13th when he was fit and playing everyweek under the clown Bruce If Bruce stayed the season would it have been as successful with his one crippled centre back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He was our star man and also the demise of Smith when he left. Top top player, would have loved him to stay. There I said it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He's gone. He will win the league against us. Therefore he got what he wanted. He left to win things and he will. He is never coming back. Move on people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Would imagine our away end will be like a fire drill at 6pm next Sunday. Just hope he dosen't go any kissing of the badge nonsense, he's better than that even if we give him some stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys, let it go, the bitterness is boring. Nobody is saying he wasnt our star man but the single handed promotion thing is a bit OTT and takes credit away from Smith, Mings, McGinn, Tammy, Steer who also played huge parts in that season and then others like Whelan, Elmo, Hause, Chester, Hourihane, El Ghazi who also contributed. Probably missing a few others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Regardless of whether he was our star man, he betrayed us. He allowed us to think he was in it for the long haul when he really had one eye on the door the whole time. If he had been honest and said he wanted to move to win things, I’d have accepted it and wished him well but it was the deceit and the false promises and false hope that means he cannot be regarded a legend. There are plenty of players who left Villa for bigger things that still get plenty of respect but the reason Jack gets stick is the way he went about it.
