AV82 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 This guy had to play with the likes of Nakamba, Trezeguet and Samatta and people still begrudged him a move to a Premier League winning team under one of the greatest managers ever while we are stuck languishing under Stevie G.

Get over it fellas. Nope. The truth: He signed a new contract, told us all he believed in the project and wanted to be here (this comes after 3 seasons of flirting with different clubs who were not Man City), only to request a release fee - which City then found out about, and he continued sitting on the fence whilst arranging and planning the move away from the club he had arranged and plotted moves away from for the past few years whilst playing into his 'identity' to make as much money as he could as the home grown kid who loves the club.

villa4europe Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Yeah your opinion of him seems to be based on whether or not you believed the "my club" PR bullshit, or even saw that bullshit or cared... Personally I didn't and don't Given up on footballer and even manager interviews, it's all guff that means nothing Too many bought in to it and can't let it go Edit FWIW delph was the end of it for me, after what he did I don't care for anything footballers have to say Edited August 7, 2022 by villa4europe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I didn't and don't Given up on footballer and even manager interviews, it's all guff that means nothing Too many bought in to it and can't let it go Totally, I don’t care anymore - but Grealish played the club, the fans and so much more. He was basically the husband telling his wife he loves her whilst swiping right on Tinder. Fans have every right to be aggrieved. He has every right to move to Man City or Liverpool etc, but the way he did it was cheap and offensive to our club and fans. And the way he did it damaged the club. Like I said he was flirting for a long time and then backing out (Spurs, Man United, I think even Chelsea) and just kept us all hanging on - for 3 consecutive seasons. Interviews in the months before about wanting to be like Totti, about the club being his life and soul and we know that at this time his agent was talking to Man City. The way he was playing both in public and behind the scenes rocked Villa and affected our club massively. Go sign for another club, but don’t use the leverage with fans to build hype, keeping the club waiting - whilst we need answers quickly. He was moments away from moving to United the season before too. It was what he did every summer. “What can I get elsewhere” whilst telling the world he loves us.

Popular Post Xela Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2022 Regardless of what you think of him as a person, or how he conducted himself with the transfer, it doesn't change the fact he was genuinely world class for us. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt we would have struggled at getting promoted without him. I'm not a hater, but as far as I'm concerned, if he wanted to show his skills and become a icon, he should have stopped at Villa. If he wanted money and fame, Man City is the move, but he's not being able to express himself there, an still needs to change his football style, which is ashame.

AV82 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He played the club? He can be a fan and still not owe us a thing after years of service and netting us ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS. How entitled are some of you. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted August 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Watching city again because of Jack. I still hope he does well, and has an impact on the game. But no. Jack is not part of their game at all. He gets the ball every now and then, and passes it sideways. In the first half, he once tried a through pass and failed, and all of city's bench yelled at him for losing the ball. Pep jumped up and showed signs like "what are you doing moron". They showed Jack on the feed thereafter, and at that moment, I felt for Jack. He's in the wrong place, and he knows it.

You've made your bed now lie in it is normally something you say when someone's made a decision that has landed them in a bad situation. I'm sure Jack is loving life lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
