A'Villan Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'd have him back in a heartbeat. I felt for him when he went to City. He's one of us. One of my favourite players of all time. End of. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 He'd have been better off going not a team who don't play in a rigid system, like Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal. City or Liverpool (less so Liverpool) were the wrong choices. I'd have him back here and I'd give him a piggyback down the M6 to do it. No so much for the martyrdom, but because it's probably faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wainy316 Posted February 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2022 Watching our hopelessly unproductive attacks on Watford the other day, I kept thinking myself how good would it be to have Jack running at these now. It would lift the whole ground too, I realised how much I miss watching play for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 50-60m fee, a statement from Jack to explain his intentions and full commitment to Villa, and I'd have him. But that's crazy talk, he will be at city for the next 2-3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It gets to the point where you're almost wishing City win the league so he can get that off his bucket list early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the majority of the true lot feel exactly the same Was in Manchester last weekend and was in a small pub full of City fans before the game, mostly to hide from the rain. Got chatting to a few and asked what it's like for them now. One said that when they've won the CL he'll probably lose interest, was about my age (30ish) and there with his dad and uncle. Said him and his mates are the last generation who remember what it was like before the takeover, and that he'll probably lose connection with the club over the next decade or so as the new generation of City fan becomes more prominent. All a bit odd really, on the one hand he said he's loved all the success, but was very much aware that it's come at a cost. None of them that I spoke to were sold on Grealish, although most expect him to improve next season. Have to wait and see on that one I guess.

Nobody forced him to go and he’s been made a very rich man. “Felt for him” JFC. For this exact reason. You wonder how many people would be in his ear to take the money, the silverware and glory that City would have to offer? Anyone and everyone who is thinking of what they would do in his position. Forgetting that it is his position, not theirs to assume. Anyway I don't have much interest in a debate, and I certainly don't sympathise with Grealish for his pay package or the luxury he will be afforded for life, providing no dramatic downfalls occur. I see your point, and its fine. I think you are missing the boat on mine and it's for that reason I do have some thoughts for Jack.

Even if City win the title, Jack will have been a complete passenger this season. Yes he’ll celebrate and delight in winning the title but he contributed almost nothing to it. David Unsworth contributed more to Villa’s rich history than Jack will have contributed to Man City’s title win based on the season so far 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
