And the other is essentially Wigan after they found a lottery ticket… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been doubted all through his career and now he's a £100m player. Just a message back to the naysayers I reckon. Delighted for him. Hope he smashes it up there (except when he plays us) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he smashes it up there (except when he plays us) I don’t have an issue with him moving, everyone has a price and it was an unbelievable package. Why is he putting his fingers in his ears? Because some people doubted he might not be good value for money as the most expensive player in British football history? I think it’s fair to ask the question. Even then, it wasn’t widespread, he was immensely popular in the summer across the football spectrum. As I said, he’s not doing himself any favours by doing it imo, just going to get more people’s backs up (in media if that’s who it’s aimed at). I haven’t seen the goal but apparently he didn’t know much about it. Edited August 21, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as @villa4europe said, it might be 'his thing' now, like Bale with his heart and that England ladies player (White I think) with the eyes. JG only really became popular when he broke into the England team and stared playing well. Before that no-one took him that seriously outside of VP and a few football fans who knew their onions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I doubt it. It’s Jack “sending a message to the haters” which is pretty small time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fingers in the ears from the footballer paid a fortune to score and create goals because he’s proved them wrong in some way, apparently.

Johnnyp Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I wouldn’t mind seeing this thread been closed totally or locked or whatever. Living rent free in your heads. Giving energy to a player who’s gone and let’s be honest, it’s all spiteful. Leave him off. They aren’t our rivals. Let him and them crack on and we enjoy our win today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look we enjoy being small petty people. I know you're enormous and once Grealish moved on, you became completely disinterested in him as a player and person, but that hasn't been the experience for us. Because we're so small and petty. And PATHETIC. Oh lord we are pathetic. Maybe some day through meditation and reading the books of Eckhart Toll we can achieve the sort of enlightenment you have achieved, but it seems unlikely. So please do not look as me scramble around in the filth of the Jack Grealish thread. Avert your gaze. We are not worthy of it to begin with, and it does you no good to see us like this. We are a stain on humanity compared to you and it shames us further for you to see us like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t blame him at all for moving on at this point all things considered, but this is all water under the bridge. Saying that, I just think he’s been a bit of a nob today (why not just enjoy the first goal for your new club?) but still, no hard feelings against him from me.

An ex Villa player and local lad is going to become one of the very best in the world. Wish it was with us obviously, but we are too many years away from that level. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
