Won't happen but can dream. Although more likely adding salt into wound Imagine what will happen if Grealish takes a dive on that game and wins a penalty that stops us getting in to Europe.

El-Reacho Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Right time to move on. I can't waste anymore stress on this. Time to start panicking about how we spend the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should enjoy these times because it's the stuff of dreams. You'll have witnessed Wright-Phillips and players leaving. Not that it's on the same scale. I was having a good chat with some older City fans at the final a few years ago. True gents and grounded. But the large majority acted like Man Utd fans of yesteryear. Arrogant, condescending, and spoiled. Understand believe me, there's many I won't follow (and block) on twitter because of that type of attitude. Real City fans know where we came from, the problems and ups and downs we encountered from the late 70's to 2008 and the like. In those years we lost good players to the better teams, so know how it feels. You never forget where you came from....unless you were never there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If we're honest with ourselves as fans, yes Grealish has been a fantastic player for us, but its undeniable that he likes the flashy, celebrity, love island me me me culture and undoubtedly is swayed by the type of people who lack conviction and principles. He has never been the home town hero, salt of the earth character that is humble and downplays things, like Alan Shearer or a true great who spent their whole career underachieving. We have to accept that this is the time we are living in now. Someone will step up to the plate and will probably get better stats then Jack did last year, if buendia can play 12 more games than him then he will score more and get more assists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend. I think there's something in that. Not with the shins, more that we need better quality all over the pitch and I'm sure he knows he's certainly not leaving us in the shit by having 100m for him. 4 minutes ago, PieFacE said: Interesting POV I think it's too cheap. The point above from Matt is also correct. Which is why I think Pep sees him in the same way we do - a footballer with an old fashioned romantic style and was willing to pay a lot of money for someone with a worrying recurring injury, not much international experience and no CL experience. 3 minutes ago, Rino8 said: Don't worry lads, we'll be going through the same thing next year when we lose Raph We've got some money burning a hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheMightyVillans Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Last time I felt this disappointed was When Benteke left however I wished him the best as our club was in shambles and he deserved a chance on the big stage. Grealish has left at the worst time possible as his boyhood club is on the rise with endless possibilities. He is the one that is meant to be a Villa fan. A very sad ending indeed. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hank Scorpio Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 He said what he said less than a year ago. Either he is very thick, or genuinely is a piece of dirt. He didn't need to say all this my club bullshit yet he did, knowing he was planning to leave as soon as the right deal appeared. And again I was called melodramatic for saying this a few days ago. For all those that said I am how do you feel now? He's going. He has screwed us over by not agreeing until after playing his little fun games with shitty England and having a holiday.At least Delph was told to go by villa. This is far far worse. Now we have a hole to fill and will get crushed by inflated prices. Oh and now we can start thinking about who will be next. Konsa, Martinez, Watkins? Where will it end now we have shown we can't keep hold of players and improve a side. Frustrated doesn't even cut it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 10 minutes ago, sidcow said: JACK GREALISH LACKS AMBITION AND HAS TAKEN THE EASY ROUTE is what the headline should be. Silly. If Grealish was moving from Leeds or West Ham to City you wouldn't bat an eyelid and you'd probably say he has to go to win trophies. You've the emotional connection to the player because it's our club and it's clouding your judgement. Don't make it personal. Buendia bangs in a hatrick next week you'll forget fairly quick.

MaVilla Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 honestly couldnt give 2 hoots about Grealish if he leaves, my main concern is: a) it doesnt negatively impact the squad, and, b) we get the money invested back in the squad asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This is good business for all concerned. We get a huge transfer fee for him. We will reinvest it in the playing squad. We'll have a more balanced team and no more Jack saga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We move on and try and enjoy the season, it might be really good, we don't know, that's the amazing thing about football. Good luck to JG and Man city for the season. There is no point me getting angry or bitter, I have no influence on the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be one of the great what ifs in football for the romantics of the sport. Instead, he sold out at the first bit of interest instead of seeing where the possibilities could lead.

I think this is something that Southgate doesn't like. He is trying to build a squad of committed and humble players. If Grealish goes, I'll be more sympathetic to Southgate's stance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
