Villa is like most on here a massive passion of mine and all I ever wanted to do as a kid is play for Villa. Jack is doing that and it was his dream as well. He's the star player in a team that is progressing, earning a phenomenal amount, massive media profile and international recognition...I just dont think I'd move to Man City...yes trophies I understand but playing for my passion of a boyhood club after 25 years of wanting it all my life (Jack's age) and then giving that up makes no sense to me. If it wasnt a Villa fan like Jack, they'd be off quick smart obviously but that life he's had is all about Villa like us, to me it means he's staying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is a born and bred Brummie, with the Villa since he was six. His whole family are Villa through and through. His great grandfather was a Villa skipper. Matt le Tissier stayed at Saints in the face of accusations of lacking ambition. Well, his club was never going to get anywhere, so his loyalty was doubly laudable for me. But the 2021 Villa is very much on the up. It has never been better placed to go for glory in my long lifetime, let alone Jack's. THIS is the opportunity. Not selling out your roots to join a bunch of TV mercenaries and incurring the contempt of so many loyal Villa fans. Go, and you'll never be forgiven. Stay, and build a legend. I feel like someone needs to tell him this. What most fans will feel. Not his Villa family, not the sycophantic suck-up Villa fans in the media who will tell him 'Yeah, it's time to go now. Don't worry fans will understand, you'll still be loved' to try and be his mate. Not many players in the history of football would be the legend at a single club that Jack Grealish will absolutely become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Harewood had something a bit original, although I'm pretty sure it was done for Yakubu too. Yorke's song was amazing. How our fanbase came up with that I'll never know. But you're right, Carew's was original. Quite liked that one tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have to say for me he would be leaving a year or two early IF he went. If he & his family are so Villa through & through & his Great Grandfather a former Villa Captain, then i simply cannot comprehend why you would not see where AVFC could get to this season & if we indeed then progressed into Europe then maybe even wait another to see if we could actually break into those top 4 places and you could fulfil you & you friends & families dreams, rather than being the catalyst which caused those dreams to yet again be set back for however long & even worse signing for one of the teams we were trying to catch which in itself would also alienate the very fans you were one of?! So easy for me to say but i feel it's just a year too early. I truly reckon this would be brought on by the muppet that is Southgate barely playing him in the Euros. I really think that has made him think he has to go to get in that England team as he won't fully unless he's playing on the biggest stage regularly. A "helpful" hint off Southgate maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't do it - it's your fault when he goes to Man City I have a better plan that doesn't involve getting naked. When he gets back to BMH next week, Meatball will distract Jack with his turkey costume so Wesley can ambush him and put him in one of his famous "Stoke" headlocks. Meanwhile Dean can lock all the doors and cut the line to the fax machine. No fax, no transfer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) If he goes, in the movie of Jacks life, after he wins everything, there'll be a sad quiet bit when he realises that doing it at City was meaningless and that he sold his soul and he would have been happier at Villa after all.

The Fun Factory Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If he wasn't Villa through and through of course he would be off. He would be earning more, playing for a better team and would win trophies which we haven't done for over a quarter of a century. We are getting closer to the top but why would a player wait when he can have jam today not tomorrow? Having been at Villa since he was about 7 and in a Villa family I hope that heart will rule over head but we will see. Quite frankly I am so bored of this happening every summer.

Sam-AVFC Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The best thing about this is there are probably fans of local rivals who are feeling smug that we may sell a player for £100m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
