I’ve been watching Villa for over 50 years and he's in the same category as God and Sid for me in terms of ability. I hope we have another Jack on the conveyor belt but I very much doubt we have unfortunately. Yes! We have loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said we were looking to kick on that year, we had spent, we have ambitious owners who were obviously going to spend even more, there was talk of European places. But no, he couldn't wait, and he set us back by how many years by leaving? No quality player is going to come to a selling club, and it's taken us until now to reestablish the credibility of our ambitions. Nah, f**k him. Its not grealish and villa though That is football, that's why it's bollocks, football as an open competition is dead We are a million **** miles off man City in a race that is rigged to favour them not us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 City will be in big for Bellingham this summer not sure if they need to sell Jack to fund it tho. Not sure When's the 'right time' or 'optimal' time to cut there losses I guess they will be atleast listening to offers this summer for him and see if the numbers work.

Maybe 2 clubs could afford that actually want him. He wont be going abroad so is stuck in England 2 teams are Chelsea and maybe Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, MNVillan said: Yikes, I didn’t expect to start all of this. I should probably clear it up. I don’t despise Jack as a person, nor as a footballer. It was the wrong word. I wish him no ill will. I do despise the decision he made, stringing the fanbase along. But as others have pointed out, it’s probably more the fault of modern football than Jack himself. He came nowhere near to what Delph did imo. It hurt more because of how good he was for us, loyal boy with DS etc and at the time we were on a good path. A player of his quality under a manager of Emery's quality usually gets you european football so that's why I'd be excited by him coming back. Surely aswell you'd be naive to think when he signed the deal in 2020 there wasn't any release clauses in the deal. Most players have them but Spurs probably set the Kane one at 200m so no one would pay that and will wait until he has 12 months left. Not sure with Zaha at Palace but he already had a taster with Man. United which went badly wrong so probably wasn't that desperate to move when he signed his deal.

Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted December 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2022 Time’s a healer. Like everyone else I was gutted when he left, absolutely gutted, but you know, you learn to get over disappointments, it’s part and parcel of life. It’s abundantly clear to me he loves Villa, it’s also abundantly clear that he wanted to go and win some stuff and be at an elite club, playing with elite players and under an elite manager. Whichever way you cut it we were years away from being able to offer that if everything had gone perfectly to plan - which it clearly hasn’t and was never going to do cos, well, it’s us ain’t it. If folks want to hold a grudge, claim he’s overrated and even revise history to play down his standing and stature whilst he was here then that’s up to them but I hope we see Jack in a villa shirt again and I’m confident we will, at some point. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I don’t care what your thoughts are on him, he should be starting for England, similar to the role Griezmann plays for France. I honestly think we’d have won a tournament by now with a manager that played him more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Anyone suggesting he should be starting after the season he's been having have an unhealthy obsession with him. Had an awful season and shouldn't even have been picked for the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
