Dave-R Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Shouldn't a lid be put on players mouths from saying things like a player you play alongside has outgrown the club or deserves a move, be it true or not, surely players like Conor should know to keep there gob shut and just not say anything. Anybody would think some players want Jack to go. If Jack goes we wont be back in the premier for a long time or if he does go, who can fill his boots because none of them came remotely close last season. Jack leaves and I think even Jack knows it will hurt Villa alot more and for longer than what we think it will, it will simply be a long wait to the next big star comes in and makes waves, which may take years. We cant afford to let Jack go I dont think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to put too much pressure on him but if Grealish does go then young Jacob Ramsey could step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Reading those hourihane quotes makes me cringe. Grealish isn't too good for avfc. Hourihane however is too **** shit for avfc. There's a difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted April 30, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2020 Players have such short careers that they have to do what is best for themselves. I couldn't blame Jack in the slightest if AV get relegated & he wants to move on. I also would have a hard time being too critical if a top six club came calling for him and he moved on. Clubs like Man U & Man C use their money & status to get what they want, Leicester lost Mahrez to City & Maguire to united but did manage to get top dollar. The system is set up in favour of the big boys !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the clout our owners have we will be back up, possibly stronger, for not being a one man team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Conor has the same agent as Jack or at least had 18 months ago. go on Jack’s transfermarkt you will see Stellar Group. look on their website you will see this guy. Just google him and bungs, when I say Jack’s already done, I’m not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester has looked stronger after selling Maguire Villa barely ever make good signings. Last actual good signing has been McGinn. And that signing was made by Steve Bruce..

Chindie Posted May 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2020 I would expect that Grealish already knows exactly where he's going to be next season and is having furniture ordered as we speak. And he's known for a while. On a personal level you can't really blame him. But when he's gone he's just another opposition player. I won't begrudge him going, I won't despise him for it, but the moment he no longer wears claret and blue I can't wish him well. Regardless, he's not going to be at Villa Park every other week next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) He made it clear he was off when he liked that tweet that of him in a Man U shirt. An act of petulance hours after we got battered 6-1 by City. Seriously, a club captain doing that? Jesus Christ that's poor. Not been as arsed with him as villa player since then.

sharkyvilla Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'd be very surprised if any move at the kind of fee Jack will command happens this summer. It'd be pretty reckless even for the biggest clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Nah Man Utd's main target is Sancho. That's probably 100 mill They aren't really in need for Grealish when they got the likes of Pogba, Fernandes and Rashford. Unless Pogba is sold they won't be in for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think i'm over all this Jack Grealish shite now to be honest. At this point i'd rather just have a solid, hardworking and consistent TEAM, than all the distraction of one "Star" and the constant stories and comments from fans about him being "too good for us". I want us to just get safe and get it over with, wouldn't even surprise me if he ended up at Newcastle. Use the funds towards building a team of consistent performers.

Popular Post sne Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 But we need the players brought in to be closer to the standards of Grealish rather than to what our current team is. Most of our players need to be upgraded on if we are to push on. Grealish needs players on his level to play with brought in rather than getting rid of Grealish and getting inferior players in so that the rest of the team doesn't look so feeble. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) There's every chance Grealish can go to Newcastle if they get Pochettino or another top tier coach He won't and shouldn't waste anymore time under Smith Edited May 1, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, I think his potential is a level under World Class, however, it is yet to be seen how he would perform with great players around him, as we all know. He still has some deficiencies to his game, in which our excuse is always that "It's because none of the other players are on his wavelength", which is not always the truth. Would you have seen Robinho going to Man City? For example, players like Griezmann have so far been relative failures at Barca. Making a step up can either expose you for being overrated, or see you thrive. Not every team is setup for certain players, no matter how "great" they looked in a team with them as the central focus. You see how quickly the best teams move the ball? Grealish slows it down, and sometimes takes way too long on it, for example.
