The club is being run well, we are on the dramatic rise, great owners, the manager loves me, I'm the best paid, I play for my country. The club are bringing in quality after quality into the club and for some reason I want to leave. I understand all the City reasons but to leave the Villa now.....I cant work it out and I hope he doesnt, I think he may regret it on several levels. You cant imagine why he would want to join one of the biggest clubs in the world, surrounded by world class players, with an all time great manager, playing in the CL, guaranteed to win trophies and potentially one of the biggest players in Europe? And what "dramatic rise" are we on? We finished 11th last season. I understand people are sad that he's leaving but how can anyone possibly be shocked or even surprised that he wants to take this massive opportunity? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Villa to bits but if I was in his shoes I’d leave. I guess we’re all different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large, insane part of my brain keeps thinking about this tweet from a few days ago and hoping it's true. Please Nadia, don't be another CJ Bellend. I also have a gut feeling the race is not yet run…! Odd that Villa are pushing through these deals so quickly. We haven’t even had any Ings content or pics of Bailey holding any Villa gear etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think 5th in Championship, to 17th in Premier League, to 11th in Premier League in two seasons is dramatic? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine at this stage the fees are what they are in the expectation Jack’s going. The final confirmation won’t matter. According to all sources it’s 99% done that Jack is off, so Saints aren’t going to add £5-10m once the departure is confirmed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one player, he's not greater than the team and it's not up to him to dictate things to that extent. If his head was really that big I'd take the money and run. This. Get him away as fast as possible if he's holding the club hostage like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him missing 1/3 of the games which would have seen us finish top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If Grealish needs "convincing" to stay then just get the f*** out. You clearly aren't committed to the cause in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 18 minutes ago, GingerCollins29 said: I am not ITK. I understand i'll get pelters for this but thought i'd share. A colleague of mine is friends with someone, who has another friend, who allegedly knows the grealish family well. According to them, his family are distraught that jack is going and have apparently been in contact all day with jack trying to get him to reconsider. That's why the deal hasn't been finalised today. Personally think its all bollocks but just passing on info. No wonder their dog was sick out of the Range Rover. He doesn't want to be walked in Prestbury or Hale Barns. He prefers the grass verges of Barnt Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
