stewiek2 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 To be fair to Jack I left Villa for Lyon on FIFA career mode. Mind, I wasn't getting much starts despite smashing it when I did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's frustrating to lose Grealish, but our biggest weakness as a team was being a one player team. The one benefit that could come from Grealish being sold is this great club figuring out how to be an actual team. We go to shit every season when Grealish gets injured, if we spend pre-season solving that issue then we're better off. Watkins, Traore, Buendia and Bailey is insane. If we get those players to gel and working well together then we will not miss Grealish. Yes, I think we'll be a stronger team next season with or without Jack. I think the thing that should comfort everyone is that this is a club on the way up losing a player, not one in terminal decline which is where we were with Milner, Young, Downing, Benteke, Barry.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest he doesn't love it quite as much as he tried to have us believe. Or he had a once in a lifetime opportunity that he decided to take? Disputing his support for Villa and that he's loved playing for the club is utterly bizarre. But, then, this thread is pretty bizarre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan501 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 At this moment everything for jack has been villa soon to become a city player. Guys we will move on and stick with the villa, I personally think this move will destroy jack mentally. This scenario is like when you've ended a relationship and lived with regret once it's gone it's gone. As soon as he signs the contract this relationship ends but who will have more regret? . Jack will win trophies and earn more money,but he will become a normal player with no special affiliation, he can and will be subbed,left out of starting lineup and not the go to guy. He will still crave his true love Aston VILLA who unfortunately for him will have moved on and left him behind. Buckle up guys this juggernaut is ready to propel forward.

Don't agree it was a once in a lifetime opportunity though, coudl have comfortably stayed for one or two more years of his contract seen how it went with us and then had the pick of the best sides in Europe to go to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrchnry Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Sky sports saying he's with Villa training camp but a plane is on standby. I just don't understand why he's there today. Training serves no purpose for Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything could happen this season which could lead to him missing out on a massive move. A footballers' career is short. With Man City right now, he gets to play alongside his apparent favourite player in the world (KDB) at his peak, driving towards achieving a first CL win for the club. You're kidding yourself if you don't think that's a once in a lifetime move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bailey and beundia with more to come, we will be a more rounded team with no reliance on one player. When jack was out injured with his shins we struggled. Jack has issues with those shins it's clear but our great club can move on and try to get to the promise land without jack. I'm.excited where we can go the owners will get it right and a new hero can be found. Onwards and upwards thank-you jack grealish goodluck at city. You don't choose aston villa it chooses you. UTV As i was reading this i thought I'm going to give this post a like. Then i got to the bit in bold and that blew it for me. Agree with the rest of it though. He gets zero good luck from me. He's just another player playing for the opposition who (regardless of who they are) i don't want to do well. F*** him.

TRO Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 48 minutes ago, AVFCforever1991 said: I was sure Jack would have wanted to play 1 season back in front of the Holte end in a Villa top again, after the hollowness of the empty stadiums last season. I think we are all seeing a situation, that was not exactly clear to us.....Only Gabby was ever going to hold the torch, for never leaving the Villa. Jack has followed his dream and it never was going to be with us, realistically.....I wish him well, and no recriminations from me, I think his " my club, my city etc looks a bit silly now and the disingenuity, shouldn't really surprise any of us, but Jack was different,he was one of us, I believed in his loyalty, but he is actually no better than those who made their name with us, from elsewhere....No better than Andy Gray for example who learned his trade at Dundee utd and fine tuned it with us, winning the players player and young player of the year award, but Andy was from Drumchapel not Solihull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing for England a big factor too with the World Cup coming up. He knows that Southgate won't give him the chance he deserves while he's at Villa. I honestly think Southgate will start him now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
