So Leeds and 3 other teams drop down the league and Villa move up 'atleast' 4places , by signing Buendia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I asked you if you’d eat a shit sandwich for a million pounds you’d be probably say no because you know it ain’t going to happen. I would, FYI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at it from a fans perspective , in his shoes there is a lot to consider , the days of players staying a career at their boyhood clubs are rare - if Jack left I’d be very disappointed but would understand his reasons not to say agree with them Edited July 29, 2021 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Eastie said: It’s about his career though , not his love for villa . Gazza left newcastle , Rooney left Everton , both are still fans of those clubs and love their boyhood clubs regardless of the fact they left With respect, those clubs aren't Aston Villa, they chose to support them, down here Villa chooses you. Edit... because of NWSE its like the perfect storm for Jack to remain as a one man club. Edited July 29, 2021 by Phil Silvers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did West Ham move up 11 places by signing lingard ? There is more than one player in a team - many villa players improved last season and are likely to do so again - if you think villa have no chance of top 7 then that’s your choice mate . There is still over a month of the window left yet . Looking at your posts since joining almost every one of them is knocking and running villa down - strange Edited July 29, 2021 by Eastie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, he’s a professional, this is his career, not a hobby, really think some folks need a reality check.

WHY Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 27 minutes ago, villalad21 said: They are better than us. It's not about who got the most flair and skill. A team is about balance, and they have a really solid and balanced team. This is like the Arsenal trap during the late Wenger era and still to an extent Arsenal now where you're buying all these skillful, technical players thinking you'll stomp everyone. You won't. If we go into the season with the likes of McGinn and Ramsey our midfield will get overrun like last season. Until our midfield get sorted I still see us as a mid table team. I agree about the midfield but still wouldn’t say they are better than us. We were miles better than them at their place and deserved to win, 6 point swing would’ve had us 4 points behind them. Granted they were the much better team at Villa Park and they did a number on Grealish. If Grealish hadn’t missed so many winnable games when he was injured I think we definitely would’ve finished above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not just looking from a fans perspective as you have said condescendingly but both a fan perspective and professionally. Just because you don’t agree. I wouldn’t understand him leaving and I wouldn’t agree with any reasoning that has been proposed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him and it will be a fight out with Newcastle for mediocrity. It showed last season, no Grealish and won 5 in 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 6 minutes ago, JONESYVILLA said: Ah right - so you can't answer the question then. ok fair enough. SIGH... Try and follow now... @nick76said 43 minutes ago, nick76 said: So? turning his back on us where we are given he's a Villa fan is not something you do Clearly meaning that since the owners came in we have improved drastically and they have the aims and means to take us to the top. We are not owned by Lerner or Xia anymore. These are serious people who know what they want and a player who is a boyhood Villa fan would want to be part of that. But you took it literally as in the position in the table we finished.... 39 minutes ago, JONESYVILLA said: Where are we exactly? We finished 11th, still not sure which of the top 10 teams we are suddenly better than this season. So I tried to explain that Grealish himself has stated that the owners sold their ambitions to him and he wanted to be part of the project but you glossed over that for some reason, despite the fact that that was the whole point of the first post! 29 minutes ago, Okonokos said: He said himself he was sold on the owner's ambitions and plans for the future. That's where we are. We're in the most exciting shape for years. For some reason you asked me... Quote Answer the question then, which of the top 10 teams are we better than? And gloated when I ignored that bit to address the fact that you'd completely missed the point of the discussion. Now why would you gloat like that? For the record, I see no reason why we can't or won't finish in the top 4 next season. See, I can answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had a lot of injury problems and never had a settled defence. Ok top 4 is pushing it but they will be very hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
