Rugeley Villa Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Football brings the worst out in some people. I know it has with me in the past. I despise modern day football. Too much money, too much putting the fans second. Lack of genuine entertainment, just isn’t worth the time and stress anymore. We’ll be glued to the tv when city play like spying on an ex girlfriend who dumped us. Then we’ll get over it and find a new fans favourite, who will then be sold on to one of the big 6, or will we become part of the big 6, who knows. I spend most of my time and effort on horse racing now. More satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing it isn't going to make it any more or less likely to happen, it's just an expression of anger. On the basis of your first point, anger doesn't even have to fuel such a comment. One way of proving that it makes no difference would be say it neutrally about a player that hasn't made you angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Not wishing him anything, ill or well. He's not a Villa player anymore, that's that. Don't think there's any point in investing any energy in a Manchester City player now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Imagine if Messi hadn't initially agreed to stay at Barca. He'd be at Citeh now and this whole sorry affair would never have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any point in investing any energy in a Manchester City player now. I wish him nothing BUT ill will. I don't hope he gets his legs broken or anything (although I wouldn't cry if that did happen) but I hope he flops big time. That said, if you offered me a choice between Villa getting 5 extra points in a season but plastic jack scores 20 goals and win player of the year, or Villa forfeiting those 5 points but plastic has a terrible season, I'd pick the former every day. Villa are always the most important thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my take ... if my wishes actually mean anything, I wish him well; but second best to anything Villa related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes noticed that during his england euro’s interviews , he was doing more interviews than any other player despite not being a starter, probably instructed by his team of clowns to get more popular outside of villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put money on him getting PFA POTY if I were a betting man in all honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I don't want him to flop. I want him to personally tear it up so all our words to other fans over the years are justified. I want him to hammer Leeds, Wolves and West Ham etc but I want Man City themselves to have an absolute shocker all his team mates to underperform and him to win as little as possible there in terms of silverware.

The thing about the 100m clause is that City were always really the only club who would trigger it. Signing Messi probably would have cooled them on that front for a couple of years. Saying that though, Chelsea look set to smash the Grealish record already so maybe they could have too, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyhota_avfc Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Don’t think we have to wish Grealish to flop. Honestly the best thing would be if he wins his plastic trophies with City but then in a few crucial moments, Villa is able to beat City and claim trophies. Imagine us meeting City in an FA cup final and Buendía, the new number 10, scoring a goal to put Villa out in front. We celebrate in Wembley as Jack watches on, knowing he could’ve gotten that with his boyhood club. it doesn’t matter how well Jack does, he’s probably going to do great because he’s an excellent player. What matters is what Villa do without him, and we are set up for success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is this will all be attributed to him "upping his game" or "Pep taking him to the next level" rather than this being his true level that he was playing at for the last 2 years. It's so frustrating, and in all fairness, probably a major factor for why he moved. He just wasn't getting the respect he deserved in the footballing world, and that includes his England manager...all because he played for Villa. Of course this extends to his overall image and brand which seem equally important to him. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
