maqroll Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If Grealish is viewing all of this as strictly business, then perhaps so should we. And if we do, we will see that flipping Jack for 4-5 other top players puts us in a much better position. So while I'm sad that we won't enjoy his silky, languid moves as a Villa player, I'm really excited about all these new signings. Europa League is in our sights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the angry phase now! All the fluffy stuff now from others about wishing him well and we shouldn’t be call him a snake just grates at me at the moment. One of our own turns his back on us, he’s a snake and he can go f##k himself! You're about 48 hours behind the rest of us mate.

There's a legitimate challenge there and room to prove himself. It's going to be tough for them to make ground on City, but if they do it'd be very satisfying and rewarding. Going to City though? He'll have a trophy under his belt this weekend without even kicking a ball. How boring is that. This is our 3rd captain they've taken from us in 12 years I love this whole "boring" argument. It's utterly bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's how NSWE and Purslow see it. I'm not going to be too bitter about it, even if I have lost a bit of money. I think as a hard-nosed business decision both sides will be better off. We move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'm sure it wasn't Jack's intention, but by leaving he's given us a golden opportunity to stop being "Grealish's team" and become one of the most exciting units in the Premier League. A one man team has a low ceiling and by finishing eleventh last season we were banging our heads on that ceiling. Some excellent recruiting by our management (and I don't think we're finished yet) means that we can genuinely compete for a top seven finish without infringing the slightly loosened FFP rules. Onwards and upwards .... Thanks Jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he's a professional and strives for success and honours, but how satisfying is that success if it's completely unchallenging? We're talking about a team that hasn't lost a League Cup game for 5 years because they have players of Jack's quality as reserves. They're so far clear of the rest of the league it's kind of funny.

He couldn't give the club any of his real prime years in my book. Legacy tarnished because of the manner after the contract renewal and the shit he come out with on signing the new deal. To think he'd been planning this at the back end of last season would not surprise me if this is why we were reluctant to bring him back. To concerned about himself. Yeah, he given us some great moments. We've watched him grow, but lets not also forget how much the fans invested in him over the years, elevating him as much as anything. You don't snake off to win trophies and then come back when you've finished poncing about like some come home hero. FFS, what is the world coming to. I'm not in too much on us bringing Young back either but Jackanory is another level of turncoat in my book. Might seem petty to some but that's me unfortunately when it comes to Villa. VTID and militant with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 reporter on talksport just defending citeh saying he has to, its ridiculous that people are saying they have just bought success and that they've only ever broken the uk transfer record twice. You have to admire their ambition trying to sign Grealish and kane, they mean business, very admirable too that they are going for English players. ffs, give me strength. We've got numpties on here too saying its not all about money, wobble youre heads. Oh and suck shit Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be stronger I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
