HalfTimePost Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Jack could have gone 3 times. And so far hasn't. Top players will be linked away. The club doesn't matter. United, Arsenal & Liverpool have always lost players during their Prem heydeys to Barca / Madrid. Real/Barca have lost players to each other. PSG are going to keep seeing Mbappe linked away. They'll always be linked away. Getting 'bored' of it isn't an option. We either have top players and they get linked away, or we continue the cycle of the end of the Lerner and Xia years and simply don't have top players. Then they won't be linked. Those are the only options, I know which I prefer Edited July 28, 2021 by HalfTimePost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be his future if it happened. I hope not. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so gracious as to wish him every success but booing Jack Grealish at Villa Park would be an all time low for our fan base. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jas10 Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 What the hell is going on? Why are certain people losing their heads and discussing how Jack will be viewed or treated if he leaves and even worse the potential of breaking his leg? WTF?!! And barely a reaction to such stupidity? There’s nothing to suggest that he is leaving, so why the crazy and absurd overreactions? Bloody hell.. If he was to read this thread now he probably would want to leave if that’s what some of our “fans” are like… Right now, he’s not going anywhere. So don’t turn on him! At least hold tight and see how things pan out… FFS 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest news we getting is Man City are preparing a bid. Its been over a month of preparing.. It just reaks of the press trying to link the best player outside of the “big 6” to one of them clubs. Because it’s easy bait and a likely thing to happen. but this story hasn’t progressed. Just Twitter, reddit, lowbar journos and football bloggers chitchat, trolling and speculation.. also you add in things like pep saying there isn’t money a for big name striker.. which they need most. yet, can spunk 100m on another midfielder that they don’t need. the whole thing seems like standard transfer trash talk Exactly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon the hate directed towards Gerrard stopped him going to Chelsea. I just can’t fathom this passive attitude. Our owners have said we want European football that means top 6.

Keyblade Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 1 minute ago, bannedfromHandV said: Of course there is, he’s only ever one bad tackle away from never getting the opportunity again, and therein lies the dilemma. For all the hot air in here over the past few weeks it’s a pretty simple equation, at least where Jack is concerned, stay with the club he loves or go and win but trophies and play in big games. If he decides to leave it won’t be because he’s stopped loving the club, and it won’t be because of money, it will purely be because he wants to play on the biggest stage. Yes, it’s possible it could be achieved here but that’s 2-3 years down the line at least and that’s if we continue on our upward trajectory at a similar rate to that we’ve seen thus far. It must be a horrible decision for him, move and upset the fans, perhaps the family too, or stay and in ten years time be filled with regret (potentially). I hope to McGrath he stays, like we all do, but I think we have to accept that it may not pan out that way and adjust ourselves accordingly. He was 1 tackle away from never getting the opportunity to play again last year as well, but he signed a new contract. He still had that desire to win then. Also if he stays now, it doesn't mean he won't or can't leave in the future. He'll remain a world class player for the next 5 years at least. There'll be no shortage of suitors, just like there haven't been for the past 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidence in point. Last season signing a 5 year deal and saying he believed in the project. If he goes he is saying he no longer believes in the project and is happy to actively weaken Aston Villa football club.

Nah part of course for football these days and although I won’t be doing it, Jack will have made his bed and will suffer the consequences. No loyalty one way will mean no loyalty the other way and he’ll deserve it if he makes that choice and forces the move away whether through asking to leave or utilising a release clause if there is one. It wouldn’t be low for our fan base it will just be our fan base reacting to a one of our own turning their back on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If I was in his shoes I’d leave. Careers are short and you want to play with the best and win things. However I’m unfortunately not him so will still have to do my shitty 9-5 while he decides what to do next. The word removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants the big money he can deal with the flak nothing comes for free in this life, yeas he becomes even more wealthy but his legacy as a Villa legend is gone. I’ll give him grief after he’s retired to if I see him at VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
