Relationships too people go back to past loves. Would not surprise me if Jack wanted to come back one day question is would we have moved on since then. Ashley coming back is good business on our part it was not a sentimental signing it filled a gap we had. He’s done over a decade at his boyhood club, been up, down, up again, kept them up, cup finals. If we’re honest, he’s done most things he’s ever likely to do in a Villa shirt. Then he’s offered a mega pay rise to play for (arguably) the best team in the country, best manager, best facilities, champions league football and a good chance of finishing the season with 1-4 winners medals. I doubt he’s going to regret it much. Good luck to him. I don’t think anyone on here could say they wouldn’t do it if in the same shoes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 i wonder. to put jacks situation in more relatable terms for us mere mortals. If the average Villa fan was offered quadruple their current salary if they started supporting Man City, would they do it?. And proper support, like go to every game (should get a ticket okay...), spend hours daily on their forums, learn the songs, get the tattoo's, boo Villa when they played each other, wear the shirt in public, exiled from VT. not saying i would but you would surely have to think about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'd get "what a waste of money" sang at me, initially by Villa fans, and then by City fans once they realised my heart wasn't really in it, and I was just there for the moolah! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can… The only other English side I even have any remote love for is Southampton… I would only leave our club if I was made to, and I certainly wouldn’t try to engineer it with a fixed release clause that my agent could let another club know behind the scenes… The events would have unfolded as follows: - Sign for Man City for record transfer - Community Shield - Curl one out, smear shit on the shirt and badge and throw remaining faecal matter at Man City fans, chanting “I’m Villa till I die” - Get sacked by Man City for appalling behaviour and causing terrible PR - Re-sign for Villa on a free or… OR just wait for a Champions League side from another league wanted me… Somewhere nice… Like Spain or Italy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Anyone know what sort of reception he got from the Norwich fans on the weekend since he was booed by Leicester and Spurs fans previously? Tbh, I think a lot of the booing is people expressing their utter contempt for the modern game. You've got some clubs that have had their very existence threatened by the pandemic, and yet in this climate you've got City splashing 100m on a player they don't need, in a position that they're stacked in, just because they can. I'm not surprised at the reaction if I'm honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I see it too If man City can take Jack grealish from villa, villa on the up doing OK captain and fan for an insane amount of money regardless of the rules then they can take 95% of the players in the league should they wish making it all a bit pointless, no one can compete with their spending **** Man City and **** Jack Grealish boooooooooo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 There’s no context there but it doesn’t look good. (Both the fashion sense and the behaviour). He’s always been a party boy, I can see him getting carried away with that now he’s a famous name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
