It's been 40 years since we won it. Have you not enjoyed at least some moments within that 40 years ? We will have a couple of new players on display and could give Newcastle a right walloping in 3 weeks time. Let's not look to far ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't take long for Delph to leave after getting called up for England. I see a pattern here. And to the same exact club as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 People comparing our situation to the Bucks in the NBA as well is pretty far off the mark. The American sports system is well set up to keep it fresh, old teams who were awful have a chance to be good again in 5-10 years time, likewise strong teams can drop off. Jack had two paths, take Villa as far as he can and be a major reason why in 5-10 years we might be a top top team (Most of our success would likely come after him though) or try and win whatever he can now, CL, Ballon D'or etc but clearly have to be away from Villa. I'm not sure you'll find any footballers who fit in the first one of those paths anymore, I think them days are long gone. As I said before, he will go on to win things, it's impossible not to at City and truth is it makes no difference if Jack is there or not. I'm still convinced that when all is said and done, nothing can top the feeling he had when winning the play off final with Villa, no matter how small it is when you do it for your own it's just different.

villan501 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 When this is done and dusted we will become the New Aston Villa 2021 no more reliance on one man,a brand new era, new players,a new approach to games. Jack grealish will be gone but our Villa will not, we're on a journey let's enjoy it and embrace it. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting your local team used to mean something once. All these fake fans can just do one! Let them go support a "Top 6 club". I grew up Villa, they won the European cup the year before I was born, the league the year before that. My Dad had to give up his tickets to the Super Cup Final in '83 because I was being born... I've seen two League Cups and an Intertoto Cup. Not a lot, still here Villa Til I Die. Went to Uni in Manchester. Still VTID. Lived in London for 5 years. Still VTID Moved to the US 10 years ago.

Popular Post Mark_1989 Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) WE WILL BE OK!!! We have made £100m from a player who cost us £0 A player who very often misses 1/3 of a season We have owners who are seriously ambitious We are a stronger team without Jack with the new recruits we have bought in to the team we finished last season with and we will continue to add to it. We are still making progress! Trust the process! Edited August 4, 2021 by Mark_1989 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 3 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Shall we all just support a top 6 club then? Supporting your local team used to mean something once. It still does.....Chelsea, Man City and the likes Man U too....just pick off every clubs best players....We used to do it in the 30's But Teams like Leicester and Villa & Ipswich,( 80's) build teams by shrewd and careful construction......It can be done, but it is harder as time goes on. The better the team the more likely you keep your players, but some top players like Vardy still stick it out. Our recruitment and academy, is our best chance to break the mould, we just have to stick with it. my suspicion with Jack is all about timing had he broken through now at 21 and not had to carry us for 3 seasons, he might have given it a shot, but the burden of doing that and the huge offer, has robbed us of our best player. Its consequential, it happened with Gerry Hitchens, so its nothing new.....In a few months time it will be just a passing memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m upset because I enjoy watching him play but the club will always be bigger than one player and we need to stop being Grealish FC and get behind the players that play for our club - Aston Villa FC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
