I do genuinely wonder if he regrets it or not. Obviously, there is the money, but he’d be filthy rich either way. On form or not he will be getting a premier league winners medal come May, i very much doubt he regrets swapping that to staying with us. I really don't get the hate he gets on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate there is a generation that didn’t but that doesn’t take away from a large amount that did like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen far too many false dawns down B6 to make any assumptions about where we may or may not be in X years time. Maybe we'll be in a good place and he'll be nothing more than a squad player. Maybe it will have all gone tits up (again) and he'll be hailed as a prodigal son returning to get us out of the shit (again) Interesting to find out how many times going back to an old club works out. The likelihood if he came back the expectations would be high but it would never work out the same. He had his time here, it worked perfectly for that time but the likelihood it wouldn’t work out the same. We’ve had the likes of Cowans work out coming back but different circumstances and all that it’s not likely to work out. Added to that it would have to have perfect timing, in that we needed a player like him, he’s at the level or we are at the level it works and many other factors…I doubt he’ll ever come back and not anything that would have any material impact to the first team. The Jack we knew and loved has gone for good. The future Grealish, if he came back, would be a different type of player and most likely a shadow of what we knew.

Not just the best I ever saw in c&b, I think at the time he was probably the best defender in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was incredible at that time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must know how it looks to city fans when he’s been a disappointment and he is pictured wasted in Dubai during the season break. The comments are a trainwreck. By all means go and enjoy yourself but don’t offer up photo evidence to be used against you. No doubt the tabloids will recycle this picture with a story about how playboy Jack Grealish seen worse for wear with his old drinking buddy. I’m sure Pep will love that. He really needs some better advice - same as it ever was at villa really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2022 He has the weird ability to be really likeable as your player and then really dislikeable if he's not! Personally, I think he's a good kid and his heart is in the right place. You can see that with a lot of the off field stuff he does. The bloke just likes a drink and to play as hard as he works. He could do that at Villa and get away with it. He can't at City. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s where I’m at too, he isn’t a bad guy and has been through some shit when he was a kid losing his bother and his sister having cerebral palsy. He took a huge pay day, and got us a huge pay day too, so I don’t hate the guy. To be honest I was mostly just disappointed when he left because it felt like if we can’t keep hold of our captain, the local lad and lifelong fan, then who can we keep hold of? But I’m over all that. I don’t really care about anyone who doesn’t play for Villa so I’m not bothered what he does or doesn’t achieve. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
