Don't think it's a dig, he's just stating his truth. Pretty innocent comment if it's true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was club captain, perhaps he should've been leading it if that's how he wanted a dressing room to be. Pretty sure some of the South American lads at villa regularly do keep ups and tennis in the dressing room from vids I've seen anyway. I feel like you can talk about this stuff without bringing in your last team in any instance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I sense the general fan base softening on him already like they eventually did with Barry. He will be welcomed back in a few years if it comes to pass (and if he's good enough for us by then ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he’s done since he’s left is make backhanded compliments or subtle digs. The dressing room comment is totally unnecessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Its only a dig to get offended by if he's making it up to try a tickle peps bollocks Unfortunately with what we've all seen at villa for many years does anyone believe it to be made up? Look at the playing playstation stuff and various other snippets out of other players, it is a Villa problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Goals and assists don't matter now, ah how convenient now he gets none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure City lads play on their phones too. Again, he doesn’t need to mention to us at all. I’d have no problem with the quote if he just focused on City. He needs to stop talking about us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I saw a link that apparently if city gwt bellingham thats curtains for jack at city and that we would be interested in having him back I hope not moved on from him now.

ThunderPower_14 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The captain really should have sorted that lack of professionalism out. I'd still have him back tomorrow. I'm long past worrying about my favourite sportspeople being dickheads. He's a magnificent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He 27 now dont want him back i don't think he'll ever be back even if we could get him at 50% what we sold him for (unlikely), i don't see emery sanctioning spending 50m on him when he could get someone as good for less money plus i don't see him having a long career at the top level based on his injuries and lifestyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different positions, they've also been linked previously with selling Rodri, gundogan and silva* * the sly dig / comment I noticed in the grealish interview was silva not getting goals and assists either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't want him back. He was very good for us and I was heartbroken when he left, for a host of reasons, but it's done. Time we started looking forward as a club, we spend far too long looking back. I get the reasons why, but we dwell there a lot. I'm excited to see who Unai brings in for us, and I don't think Grealish will be anywhere near that cohort.

Wainy316 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I will want him back if having him at the time will make us more likely to win football matches. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's drawing a comparison from something Luke Shaw said against his own experience in the only two (OK, sure, Notts County as well) dressing rooms he's been in. At Villa, he didn't know any better. If people were on their phones and that was the done thing (which, tbh, club culture comes from higher up than the players) then why would he think anything of it? He's now gone to Man City and seen that there are differences. He's then talking about them. It's just not a dig at all. I find Grealish refreshingly honest in the footballing World, even if he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wict01 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Great player, bit of a clearing in the woods. Don't want him back, and I wish he'd stop comparing things at City to things at Villa. You can gargle their balls without running us down at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly if we re sign grealish now we might as well change the way the lions facing on our mew badge as we are going back to the past. He made his decision i prefer making a great team as opposed to having one superstar player. Look how much of a mess we were when he left. Now at least we have some top quality players in. Like bailet carlos kamara and im sure emery is going to add a hell of a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
