Tomaszk Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 24 minutes ago, Zatman said: As said before has been a quietness from the media for this and Kyle Walker compared to how Grealish got treated. He probably did less than the other 2 and has nowhere near the experience or the media profile There's something interesting with Grealish where the press and other clubs really love to hate him. I think a lot of it is they don't like Villa having a player that good. Leicester as an example, they won the league the year we went down. Why would they care about us? Why do they care about Grealish? They absolutely hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really get it either, can understand it from rival clubs and Ireland fans, but before this instance he did nothing really that was offensive. He got pissed once on holidays at 19. Except for that the media and rival fans have certainly had it in for him, go to Twitter or Facebook when some journalist tweets something positive about him, comments are just hate. I wonder if its a Birmingham thing(not the excuse of a football club) that the media are not happy somebody not from London or playing for Manchester/Liverpool are actually good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Grealish also went on social media just hours before he then went on and totally ignored what he had urged people to do. The hypocrisy makes it worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't underestimate the impact the hair and shin pads has on middle aged men with anger issues Then you throw in him getting absolutely battered most weeks but being "soft" I think he has a tenancy to win infuriating free kicks but the anger is misplaced on to grealish rather than the stupidity of their own player Then theres the fact that he's an absolutely brilliant player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealously I'm sure of it. Makes me laugh. He's a good player who's skilled at drawing fouls from the opponents. He's also a bit of a pretty boy. Of course fans from other teams dislike him and boo him. If this had been say Hourihane it wouldn't have been made such a big deal. But I don't think Pierce Morgan picked on Grealish because of jealousy or his style of play. Grealish effed up and is rightly getting called out for it imo.

Walker seem to be banned for life from the national side by Southgate and what's happening to Mou remains to be seen. Probably nothing, just like with Grealish. Grealish was one of the first big ones also which I'm sure played a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because it was the first incident of a footballer disrespecting the rules, and nothing to do with it being Jack Grealish or Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish was one of the first big ones also which I'm sure played a part. He deserves a pillaring and got it, and will no doubt continue to get it for the rest of his career bearing in mind people still talk about his being pissed from 5 years ago. I doubt this stuff with Walker/Mourinho will get brought up in six months.

However, the point you made was very much rona related so I probably shouldn't have brought it up here, in the wrong thread Isolation getting to me.

Is talk of them being open to sell Kane, but they re supposedly asking £230m or something like that so won't happen as no club will pay that kind of money now and since it's cash they need a player + cash deal won't help them much.
