Popular Post It's Your Round Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Aston Villa are much more than Jack Grealish. He’s our best player, a generational talent, but let’s not pretend that we’re nothing without him. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all about hype. Hype about Pep. Hype about Citeh. Hype about CL. By being near that club, nobodies can pretend to be somebodies. And into the orbit of this BS is Jack: a once in a generation player. Isn’t modern football shite? It is but it’s just how it is. We’ve just signed what some fans of Norwich are saying is their best player of all time and that’s after they got promoted. Unfortunately there’s an hierarchy in football and city manage to get to the top of it by oil money. It is shite but we wouldn’t be complaining if it was us.

Villa_Vids Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 All about the money now! Hopefully we can galvanise and re-invest the cash wisely in the team/club. Lots of pressure on Purslow, Lange & Smith now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Okonokos Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Can't understand the "wish him luck" stuff. Why would we want him to do well at another club? There's only one set of players I want to do well and they wear claret and blue at Villa Park. Every other player, I couldn't give a flying fudge about. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From "Rob Dawson of ESPN", sourced from..."sources": https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4441947/manchester-city-table-100m-offer-for-jack-grealish-sources Quote Manchester City have put together a £100 million ($140m) package in a bid to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, sources have told ESPN. Aston Villa were informed on Friday that City are willing to pay £90m for the 25-year-old, while highly rated winger Morgan Rogers has also been proposed as part of the deal. City value Rogers, 19, at around £10m, bringing the overall outlay close to Villa's £100m valuation of Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Clipped from HalfTimePost comment from Percy a few pages back. Quote With Grealish now expected to undergo a medical early next week, this development was always an unwelcome scenario for Villa's ambitious owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, who are targeting a return to European football with the club's best player at the forefront. I don’t get this. As if NSWE had no control at all, which doesn’t make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph was a snake He owes us seeing through the project which he signed up for last season and not jumping ship at the first opportunity. If he had left the summer after we barely stayed up, then fair enough. He didn't, he signed a new contract, professing his belief in the owners' project, who then proceeded to conduct their business with this in mind. It's a snake move. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why i don't think Grealish will be the key player at City. He might do a few tricks and flicks and sell lots of shirts but I can see him moving on a 2-3 years time. Maybe back to us.
