Exactly this, so many making too much of general comments and responses to questions directed at him. I mean, for example, when you ask any player what their dream is, wouldn’t they all say “to win the Champions League or World Cup”? It’s not the same as saying “I want to got to x club so I can win x”, or “I want to go to a bigger club” etc. etc. Who’s going to say “my dream is to survive relegation every season” etc? (Not relevant but I’m suddenly reminded of Bacuna saying he wanted to play for a Champions League club ) Generic and expected responses, players are not going to completely open their heart and mind or reveal their innermost feelings to any random person or journalist are they? They’re forced to give responses and often on the spot. I’m sure the people that mean the most to Jack are his immediate family members and they would all be dreaming of him achieving and winning things with their beloved club… we’re more on course for that now than we have been for decades… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Imagine being the boyhood villa fan who became captain, idolised at the club… to then walk away and go join another team only to watch on as Villa rise up through the European ranks and win the CL without you. Grealish moving… it’s just not happening, not with these owners in charge and their ambition. Pay him a good wage and he will be here for life, it’s that simple, do players truly care about winning the CL… I mean really? Rather become a Villa legend and go down as an all time hero personally than a journeyman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from Jim White saying Man City have tabled a £100 million offer and he is as good as gone. To Man City are going to offer £100 mil for Jack Grealish after the Euro's. To be honest I don't think the board would let him go for that measly sum. Although not sure if it was Townsend saying a club like Villa could not refuse 100 million for jack. Obviously don't know Villa anymore, bloody mug!!! Jim White needs a good beating… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he wants to win the CL. Thats fine saying that if you're playing for Chelsea or Liverpool but when you play for Villa that ain't happening in atleast 10 years. Ajax reached the semi finals. Spurs were in the finals. We beat Liverpool 7-2. The only teams in the top half we didn't beat were the Manchester clubs and West ham. We can beat anyone and that's before presumably what will be in the ball park of 400 million more in investment between now and jacks 30th birthday.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 10 minutes ago, GENTLEMAN said: Reading way too much that comment. He said CL or WC/Euros. Standard answer, biggest prize in club football. Also said his idol was Gabby, and he had been speaking to him today with a cheeky grin. It was just a bog standard interview. For as much shit as Gabby got/ gets from fans, the one thing you can't say, is that he doesn't Love Villa with all his heart. He'll be in Jack's ear no end IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 He would just be another cog at Man City - he wouldn’t be idolised like he is at Villa. He would be regularly left out of the team and he wouldn’t be the main man. What makes his talent all the more special is that he is Villa through and through.

Remember him getting flack for it on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he does, it’s just speculation. There is nothing to suggest he wants to leave and the club is in the best position and healthiest state since he’s been with us, why would he want to go now? Again, the only reason for concern or discussion is if we receive a crazy bid. Hasn’t happened yet… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
