What Villa fan, Dad or not, wants “their” club to lose its best player and biggest driving force? I just hate the way Jack comes across now like Villa arent good enough for him, and the message he has sent to all those still at the club who looked up to him. A lot of them seemed like they were not only giving their all and fighting for Aston Villa, but for Jack Grealish too & now he’s abandoned ship. Sorry but that doesnt sit right with this whole fanbase, and I think relinquishing being Captain of the club you love is unforgivable. He’s let everyone down big time, he could have left 99 different ways and we’d be fine with it, but he chose the 1 unacceptable way that has tarnished his relations forever Yeah this like the message he's sent to Chuk etc is if you break through and have a couple of good seasons you can get the big money move to shitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so The shame is that he can't be considered what he is whilst "only" playing for villa This transfer says to me the difference between the haves and the have not is not only so **** astronomical but its just brushed off and accepted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has always claimed to be Villa through and through, and he was captaining the club that runs through his entire bloodline, just thought maybe that meant a bit more to him and was worth fighting for maybe a few more years while the club was clearly in the ascendancy with huge financial backing. Maybe if he had released a video message to the fans with a bit of emotion explaining all his reasons It could be reluctantly accepted by us lot a bit better. But it just comes across like he was engineering it all along. Thinking back even to that Manor song that dropped during the Euro’s, even they knew going off the lyrics “Twitter will tell you I’m underachieving.. what they gonna do when I GO AND WIN THE LEAGUE THEN” The constant clamour from everyone and their dog telling him to leave and move up probably played a part, got in his head. At least we dont have to keep seeing all that anymore. They got their way in the end, like always, like we knew they would. D1ckheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be universally recognised until he does it on the very top stage, against the likes of Madrid or Munich or PSG. He wouldn't have had the chance at Villa to prove it. Ultimately, as much as it was a kick in the gonads, I can see why he left. We're years away from playing at that level, if ever, unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it turns out that their son is a turncoat little prick, and the apple often doesnt fall far from the tree...

theboyangel Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just saw his ‘goal’ - talk about fortuitous! He didn’t do much else (from the highlights I’ve seen) despite Norwich being shocking defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media had decided he had to move on and it was a constant noise from start to finish. The media are only interested in the top 4 nowadays. I remember last year, about October/November time, Emi Martinez was in the Garth Crooks team of the week - Garth was saying that a top 4 team needs to buy him as he's too good for us. He' only played about 15 games! The media machine is repulsive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought if there was any loyalty left in football he might have been the guy. Many have expressed their thoughts on here much better than I could so I’ll just add a little personal thing which is a microcosm of the whole situation I guess… I’m a subscriber to FourFourTwo mag, have a lot of issues. Villa never on the cover of course. For the past 2 years I’ve been waiting for the big Jack feature with him on cover, it never came of course. Now that he’s moved he’ll be on the cover in his Man City kit with 3 months. It’s a dead set certainty. Can’t make this shit up 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 One thing I won't do again is get too emotionally invested in one player. Ultimately they are just pawns on the chess board and if we can improve and move them around to become better, then that is what we need to do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was basically an own goal but at the right end like when a cross just unluckily ricochets off a player that cant get out the way.

Just saw his Instagram story with fingers in ears emoji again. The bloke was universally loved by the country throughout the euros, most of the media and pundits have backed him and wished him well so who is he doing that too? Can only think its to Villa fans which would seem strange to belittle the club that had your back since 6 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't exactly show him in a good light and will make most people who seemed to like him in the summer think he looks a bit of an arrogant prick. I kind of get that it gets his name out there but its hardly a Gazza like celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
