Before the game he was with all the Villa mascots, spending time with them (Purslow was there too). Some of those kids may already have Man City kits at home with his name on. The only Man City kits I have seen in the Midlands have his name on, so that says something about what the kids think of him. Or its not changed since I was a kid and some folks will just follow who is top of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Didn't Zaha go back to Palace after a year? And Joe Cole went back to West Ham to play for a bit. It could happen, he's just about to turn 27 so couple more years at Man. City and he should still have 3-4 years left at top level if he wanted to move on. Given our last 18 months I don't see why we'd just turn down the chance to sign a very high calibre player who we know could fit straight back into the team when his replacements haven't exactly been roaring successes so far. And we look miles off winning anything or qualifying for europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this thread bubbles around the top week after week is indicative of that. I think personally there's still a rawness and a feeling of what could've been had he stayed.

If we were doing brilliantly and the money had been spent successfully, then yes. But we haven't progressed in any way or even stagnated, we've regressed.

MakemineVanilla Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think the one thing Jack has achieved, judging by the recent transfer-window, he has created a huge leap in the price of merely capable players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish at that age.. I suspect won't be the same. Yeah, at Jack's age Young wasn't going round getting wasted in clubs either. He was sat at home having some healthy quality time on the Internet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 He's a bit of an ego maniac though. Didn't get on the pitch yesterday, yet was the last one off it. As he used to do as a player, waited until he could be the last person to come over to The Holte End. Fair enough in his first game back at Villa Park, but doesn't need to do it everytime. He moved on, we are trying to move on. He can't have the best of both worlds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Be interesting to see where his head is at come the end of this season. I get the feeling he is happy to sit on that large contract and play a part when called upon - the hunger went the day he signed for Citeh.
