villa4europe Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I still love him but no way does he come back here It'd be like taking back your cheating ex and expecting them not to mug you off and do whatever they want, he'd run riot off the pitch and it'd be a mess Wouldn't be good for him or us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be at an age where he can still contribute for us for 2 or 3 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Grealish refreshingly honest in the footballing World, even if he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's the sharpest tool in the bread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would we need him to come back and contribute the same here, less than his first stint? The idea we should welcome him back in his thirties on the way down, still on ridiculous wages, with a bigger injury record is a bit crazy. Basically, we'll pay over the odds wages for a player who's best days will be gone. Backwards thinking imo. I think fans think somehow, we'd get an upgraded version back. If anything, it will be far less as all the flair will have been drummed out of him by then. And then will have to listen to all the stories of how great it was with ginger bollox De Bruyne, and the bald Spainard. No thanks. Good luck to him but I think they'd be a massive number of fans that'll never want him back. I'm on that list too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I loved my ex and was distraught when we finished. Love of my life. But would i have her back now 4 years after we finished. Not a chance. Jack was equal parts talent , charisma and the romance of a villa mad fan captaining his team. Thats all gone now and i hope he never comes back as a player . But would be brilliant to see him in the Holte as a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly. Course he doesn't believe that. He's quite critical of himself. But he started quite a few games, so whether he scored and assisted loads or not, he certainly made a contribution.

Yes, we were too reliant on Jack for too long, but also we were a team. There’s been a lot of revisionism until Deano got the best out of him. It took many years to see the best of Jack. That's because Trez's performances for us were generally horrendous. He limited us a lot more than what he gave us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good player would stand out. Good player but never the world class sensation we made him out to be. He was world class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke was superb and that's surely not up for debate? The achilles injury ruined him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the move to Liverpool who then tried to change his game ruined him more. He came back after his achilles injury and was still spectacular for us in his 3rd season (FA Cup final.)* Of course no-one can ever say for sure that it didn't ultimately contribute to his decline in form. *The move to Liverplop was leaked the week of the Sem-final probably by the bin - dippers to unsettle him for the game against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 So a football agent on a podcast with Romano has said that talk within the industry is that if City go for Bellingham, they'd sell Grealish for FFP reasons. And that villa would try and sign him back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he likes to have fun away from the pitch but you can’t question his athleticism and his physique, he’s a specimen. I’d love him back here. I really, really would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
