Indigo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Having him back at all is a massive boost. I suspect these will be the last 12 games he'll be a Villa player for so it'll be good to see him play as much as possible. He wasn't at his best at the start of the season but was still our best player, just received unjust criticism based on the expectations placed on him. Particularly once he found form he was levels above anyone in the side and it's really been felt during his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does then I cant see us getting as much for him as we would have if he had played more games this season. Moreover, cant see our owners selling him for less than the 'agreed' release clause, whatever that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, in fact i'd go as far to say that we'd still be right in the hunt, even possibly for automatic promotion, if he'd been fit all year.

I'm totally of this opinion too, it's £40mill or no deal - and nobody is going to pay that other than maybe a newly promoted side but not sure that'll turn his head. At least I hope not.

WakefieldVillan Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Absolutely delighted to see Jack named as captain, what a proud moment for him. I would give him it till the end of the season and tell him if he stays it's his for as long as he's here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for being somone Smith can use as an excuse for poor performances while he(Grealish) is out injured. But yea, should be wearing proper protection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok fair enough. Seriously though we have no weapon without him. I think our team doesn't necessarily need Grealish to function, just a type of player who has some pace and can be a bit dangerous. That's what we've been missing since he's been injured. Also, the quality in the captain's football ability has never been as different between two games as today and the last game.
