I’m just saying I disagree and I think people try really hard to pretend he’s worse than he is because he left us. He hadn’t suddenly become a shit player in 3 seasons, one of which he was contributing heavily to a treble winning side Hes been coached into being a more boring player and he hasn’t had as many minutes this season as he’d have expected. If he came back then im sure Emery would get the best out of him. I don’t think he will, but if he did he’d be starting no question You said Quote Nah not for me. I think this is classic Villa fans “he’s left us so now he’s shit” stuff This implied to me that villa fans only dont rate him because he left and not actually thinking he is shit. If thats not what you meant thats fine but thats how i perceived it. I think he is alot worse than when he left us. He doesnt control or win games single handingly like he did at city like he did for me. He isnt starting enough either so pep agrees it seems. If he comes back ill get get behind him like you i agree wmery would get best out of him. But id say the chances of us signing him are remotely zero unless he takes a significant pay cut which he wont I dont think he will 100% be starting bit he would definitely be knocking for a start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also got a couple of goals in a Champions League semi final Coutinho was probably a better player than Grealish on his day Yeah i agree with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take long for Unai to get him firing again, train the Pep out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game kind of passes him by on the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicVillan Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Seems a shadow of the player that used to get me off my seat at VP any time I see any clips I genuinely don't know as I've not followed since he left but has he done anything meaningful in a City shirt - like grabbed a big winner or ran a game ?

VillaJ100 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 He was never going to have a long career with lifestyle and injury problems and is probably in terminal decline, and retired by 32. Avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The club moved on. He would be a terrible influence no matter how good he is. We’ve moved on from that thankfully. Let the past be just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I worry about that, because that flair he had, the mercurial thing, it's not something you can give or train into someone. It's natural, but like all creativity if you don't use it, or if it's beaten out of you, you might never get it back. The question is, does it still lurk in there somewhere? Jack's next move is unquestionably the most important in his career. I hope he gets it right for his sake, and for mine because watching him before he became cog No.2365 in the City machine was pure joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted May 22 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22 not bitter. just don't feel like we NEED him now. the one thing that would help though is that he would qualify for our home grown quota so if a loan with us paying only a certain % of his wages was possible it wouldn't be the worst thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
