In all honesty, while Jack has been excellent at riling up opposition fans and players and is good at getting in the ref's ear, I don't rate him as a proper "captain". He doesn't strike me as a natural leader (like Mings or Martinez) and we've definitely seen his head drop in the past during tough games. Yes and shying away from that penalty that Glenn Whelan missed, getting annoyed when subbed and his general moodiness towards team mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This whole , you need to play in CL stuff is just bollox ..last season in the PL if you played all games you would of played 8 times against a champs league team and 4 times against the finalists ! You also played twice against the Europa league finalists so how much more exposure do you need ??? Are you telling me playing 2 group games against Bate Borisov is a higher level than 2 games against Leicester for example ..**** off If the current transfer go through Kane/Jack >City Lukaku /Kunde Chelsea Sancho /Varane United Thats 500mill before wages for 3 clubs who tried to **** off to the SL for more money !!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd very rarely hear Grealish on the pitch offering words of encouragement or praise - more likely complaining. i never have done. i've always said that mings is the leader on the pitch giving jack the captains armband is one of many things we've done to placate him and hope he stays with us. well no more.

sparrow1988 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 45 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Football isn’t like real life though. It’s an inflated bubble - especially in the top tier. Most footballers in this country in the lower leagues earn far little in comparison. Grealish was in the 1% of earners already, now it will be 0.1%. The average footballer will not get the wages Grealish gets at Villa. So any comparison with real life is simply untrue. So what your saying is it's exactly like real life?

Panto_Villan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Bye Jack, thanks for getting us into the PL and keeping us here. And then getting us £100m for you. Would have been nice if you'd given us another year but that doesn't erase what you've done for the club. I'd have liked to see you become a Villa legend but I guess you'd rather win things; it's disappointing but I can understand that. Still, I hope your time at Villa ends up being the high point of your career! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted August 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) 4 minutes ago, hippo said: What ? - we've signed 2 very good players in each of the positions Jack plays in. Window doesn't close until Aug 31. We weren’t talking about them replacing Jack 24 hours ago. People were drawing up lineups with all 4 in, including Jack. Window closes Aug 31. Season kicks off next week. Any signing that comes in will not have a preseason, or any time with the team. If they flop we’ll be ‘give them time to bed in’, which is fine, and true, but it WILL compromise our success.

penguin Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Imagine winning the league at a canter, making the champs league finals and then splashing out £250m on teams from the same leagues best players. Like Bayern on steroids, what a soulless husk of a club. Wish they all would have just **** off to the Super League tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 More disappointed in myself for getting so emotionally invested in all these shenanigans! It's just a game. A game we love, but not worth getting upset and bent out of shape about*. This will sting like a kick in the gonads but the club is what we support, not an individual player UTV *although I will be posting a cathartic rant later when I finish work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 7 minutes ago, GodsBarkeep said: Yeah that's the view from the stands, and it sure hurts us fans when they leave. But in reality the best players are also ambitious professionals who are going to want to progress when the club isnt. The toughest thing to take now is that we are progressing fast, and yet we still can't keep hold of someone who supposedly loves the club. For me this hurts most and will probably be the sorest walkout of all my favourite players Not suggesting we upgrade Southgate to club legend Sorry, but it was a year after we made an FA Cup final and finished 6th, the season he left we finished 8th, both seasons way in front of Middlesbrough. It had nothing to do with Villa’s ambition and more to do with players having there heads turned. We may not have been able to compete with some of those clubs throwing money around, but what eventually happens to them? Leeds etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
