Weren't his normal white pink gt pair. The Laces on them didn't look like the gt ones where they are slightly off to the side. Could be a switch to the mercurial superfly perhaps. Anyone else notice this? Sometimes brands use blank/unmarked boots when testing a new model. Could be that? They look like a Nike boot at least. I would guess that Nike have cottoned on the the fact Jack is a marketing dream and are working more closely with him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted January 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2021 God was world class for 7 years for Villa. Jack needs to stay to here longer to beat him. 3 years now I would say Jack has been amazing let's call him Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have his own range soon. Can't wait for all those kids and adults buying grealish boots whilst claiming they support wolves, or even "think he's overrated". Would make my day to see a BCFC parent having to coil up in disgust as they are forced to buy them for their kids. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by that first half take down from a long pass I reckon those new boots have built in Loctite on the toes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2021 Quite simply, he’s the best player in the league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 When was the last time he had a bad first touch? Any kind of pass from any distance just gets cushioned instantly. I've never seen an English player like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 There was ridiculous one from a Konsa 50 yarder. I don't know if "killed" is a strong enough verb for what he did to that ball. He massacred it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 More and more people calling him the best in the league now. He’s just special, so ridiculously good at playing football. Neutrals seem to just enjoy watching him as if they were us, he can go right to the top of the sport I have no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Once the 2 freaks retire, I can see him being in the conversation for Balon D'or. Can't be too many players than him right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I was kind of prepared to lose him last summer. I will be so gutted if we do. He's just so good, it will be another generation or two before we produce someone as special as him. I know we will get a shit load of money for him and it may help us become even better but I just love everything about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NSWE continue to put their money where their mouth is, he might just become our Totti. Let's say we finish 6th season. Then we invest even more in the summer in a few top class players to push on again. Why even join United or something when you can become a legend at your hometown club while also seriously challenging? I can only imagine that's what they pitched to him in the summer and why he stayed in the first place. If a team that just escaped relegation by a chin hair could keep him, imagine one with Europa League football next season with aspirations of going beyond that (hypothetically speaking of course)? Last summer ripped up all the playbooks. I was astounded he stayed. Our performance this season seems to vindicate what they promised him (it could have been even better but for some bad luck). Unless Madrid or Bayern (or lamentably, City) come calling, I'm not worried. United, Arsenal and Chelsea are floundering. Not the propositions they once were for truly world class players, which Jack currently is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramshackler Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I don't think I can ever repay my gratitude to Daniel Levy for his incredible stinginess. Could of had him for £15mill, but bid £3m plus Onomah Then dropped best part of £150m on Lo Celso and Ndombele 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I don't think Barca or Madrid are in a position to sign the £100+ million signing at the moment. Interesting piece by Guillem Blague that Barca are absolute **** financially but also Madrid's days of galacticos are behind them with Covid pressure plus their billion pound stadium redevelopment. Might be the perfect timing to hopefully keep hold of jack. My only concern is City. Jack has always been complimentary about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can, the saving grace is none of these so called mega clubs are in a position to fork out 100+m on one player. They're in financial trouble. Only PSG could potentially, but I seriously doubt Jack would go there. He gets more of a test playing against Southampton and Burnley. We're very lucky in that sense. In regular times he'd have been snatched up as quickly as Bale and Suarez were, and if we were the Villa of old he'd have been a United player already. It's the perfect storm of everything falling into place nicely for a fairy tail story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
