It's just a kick in the teeth because we're obviously a club on the up and he's a lifelong fan - so it's a horrible time for him to move, even if he's basically taking a once in a lifetime opportunity.

StefanAVFC Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Is it really a shock? He wanted to go every summer for the last 3 years. He's a Villa fan but he's also clearly a bit of a knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 43,000 Villa boys On the steps of the Holte And on Trinity Road They're singing your name And you still want to go? Remember your heroes Like Barry and Delph Who left for a trophy To rust on a shelf But now that they're finished Who's singing their names? Just the echoes down B6 At the end of the day Well said 100% true and what he is doing is worse than them two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A minority seem to be in utter denial. What's to be gained from telling those that love him and are desperate for him to stay that they are in denial. He's an amazing player and people are simply gutted that he might leave. Making them look stupid serves no purpose. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad day for football if he goes to City. It will represent everything that is wrong with football It's not much worse imo. This will be the beginning of the end for any ambitions of us being a top 6 club. Instead of building something special and being a club legend he's give it up for what an extra 100k a week and possibly winning the prem while sat on the bench.

No he’d be much worse given everything he has said, our growth, the project, his love for the Villa. So much worse but I still don’t think he’s going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is in his prime and wants to win trophies, but it really does make you think he only said was invested in the project because there was no real interest last year. He wanted to leave when Spurs came in, but we got took over and the sale was pulled. He might be a fan but he will never be a Legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph wasn't a Villa boy through and through. Jack leaving now makes him a total snake for the most disgusting team in football. All the City fans laughing and baiting us for months and calling us shit club and fans. **** Judas leaving us on the up Edited August 4, 2021 by Kiwivillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I honestly can't decide who I'd despise most out of Delph and Grealish. Delph was a liar, but he was never meant to be one of us. This feels every bit as much a betrayal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rosk Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This is a real killer. Football is dead. No need for lovely goodbyes, he did brilliantly for us and was paid handsomely for it and given all more adulation than any Villa player has got since McGrath. Now he's out, we move on and he loses all of that. Time will tell if he regrets it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post omariqy Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Genuinely think we have been treated like crap by Jack and his agent. This move has been in the offing for months and they have manoeuvred all the pieces to suit them and it’s ended up destabilising the club he loves. I have no time for him. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
