I’ll wish him well but he will have missed out on perhaps being a true club legend and icon with actual hero status. If he goes then to me he will just be a great player who used to play for us. I don’t begrudge him his move but if he’s gone then I won’t be clapping or cheering his return. He will be the opposition.

I don't understand booing him, calling him names and wishing him injured. It's mental.

All this talk about dreams ect sounds romantic but In the real world he is in the peak of his career and there are probably players in that England squad that he is better than playing European football.. If we are being realistic Champions league football is not coming here any time soon. Not if we lose Jack. A world class player such as Jack is a game changer. Our training facilities have been upgraded significantly to be up there with the top clubs. I'm a bit annoyed at Mings saying Wolves are a similar club. They aren't. The only similarly is league position, and geographical location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The Romano tweets are rather positive IMO. We clearly haven’t given up hope and the new contract is on the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an elite footballer not many better than him in world football atm. I'd rather have Watkins, Martinez, Cash, Traore, Sanson than Grealish. They collectively cost less than £100mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 When we lost Yorke , we built a team with the money and the Gregory flirt with the top 6 started results without Jack last season showed we are a one man team , 3 (more) £30m players means we don’t have to have nights were West Ham can double up on him and dominate us , we can hit them all over the park . Yeah Jack is exciting to watch and he makes things happen like no other English player does ( hello Gareth ) we’ve known it for years , sadly the rest of the world has slowly come around , IF we get it right with spending the £100m ( or more hopefully) then by the time our next superstar breaks through , champions league and challenging for trophies will be at Villa Park and not elsewhere 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be the opposition. I'll begrudge his move. All the talk 10 months ago and getting a 5 year deal, being a Villa fan...his club, his city and all that. If he leaves then it makes a mockery of all that hence why I dont think he will leave because I believe he was saying what he feels and we have old clips of loads of things like that. I understand football is different today but some things arent and for Jack to feel like that for 25 years and then turn him back so dramatically would be terrible. His status by half the Villa fans including myself, would be that he's not one of us. If Jack was in the same position as us I bet he would be saying the same. He's in his position though but he will still have those thoughts and I dont think he'll leave because he knows what it means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Villa nor City have commented on the potential transfer. So City are ready to accept our bid, although Villa or City have not commented on the transfer. So who has said they are ready to accept the bid???? They know nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phily85 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Unless your top of the tree you lose your best players that how football is now. IF he moves on which I think he will in the end we move on and support the next breakthrough player encourage them to make themselves a grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They collectively cost less than £100mil. I'd rather have them and Grealish. Put yourself in the opposition shoes? Villa with Grealish have a fear factor without him we're just another 3 points. He's the leader of the pack. That's what we're losing. £100m won't replace that. Even Barcelona without Messi (even though teams can smash them now) are not a feared team, which is the same with us. Without Jack we won't have that fear factor. Then there's the commercial aspect. Jack can bring the money in the FFP breaking deals. With Jack this season I'm confident we'll finish top 7 at a minimum. With a little bit of good fortune I think that can be a place or two higher.

If you play for Villa, you are one of us. I was quite young when Staunton played for us, so didn’t notice any toxicity towards him, if there was any?

alreadyexists Posted July 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2021 Twitter is full of people hating on Jack already and using the snake emoji for him… someone said he’s worse than Delph… I hope they take it all back if we reject the bud and Jack stays. So far the club have said nothing and mor had Jack. The media can’t sell him to Man City, they are trying their best and have been for ages, but they can’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is as big as it is because the feelings around it. I mean going to the ground season after season and being beaten in the last decade or so, you wouldnt do that in any other walk of life, you'd just walk away whether a job, a girlfriend and especially programs, you wouldnt stand for that. But football we follow never mind how bad it gets and we keep paying fortunes and being hopeful.
