There is no feeling in that statement at all, just very cold. I’m not sure what I expected but that is feeble. There is nothing he could have said that would make the fans accepting the deal. I think he genuinely loves the Villa and feels the club is in great hands now. Disagree or agree he probably felt as the club is in a very healthy position it was the perfect opportunity for a new challenge at the highest level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an opportunity impossible to turn down and that's basically what he said. He had the clause inserted the opportunity was by design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He took the easy plastic root to an easy hollow trophy, congrats on your medals but he will never be a club legend , he's blown that potential status by bailing out when our project is on an upwards trajectory towards Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, Mr_Dogg said: You're all saying it's a shit way to leave but what's a good way for him to leave? There is none. Best outcome is a huge transfer fee. Whenever he left it would've been hard to see him go but there are certainly times that would've been better for him to leave. Not right at the end of the summer, a week before the season start and certainly not right when the team is on the verge of breaking into the fight for European spots. In what seems like is becoming a tighter racer for the top of the table, his play could be the difference between being in a Europa league spot or just missing out. We waffle around mid table next year and says I want out, go for it. Plus, in this theoretical world we are in, he most likely would've been playing at the same level or even better and made us say 150 million.

avfc1982am Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Bollocks to him anyway. Purslow said he insisted on the clause should a CL team come in. He obviously would've gone any club facilitating that. Just another mercenary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistake They are a spoilt fan base now. It would take a true global superstar to get them really excited. Signing Jack isn’t that big a deal but most from what I’ve read are happy with the signing .

I think Tesco are due a CEO statement soon, I'll print it off and send it to you in a brown papoer bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Took us up and kept us there. It's upto Smith and the rest of the gang now to keep us where we belong. Time to buckle down and dig in its going to be a hard season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, The_Steve said: The coward just couldn’t hand in a transfer request. He dangled the carrot at the club for as long as he could but knew he’d always be off. To dress it up as an act of love it utterly detestable. I hope he never comes back. That statement too mate. Zero personality or anything personal. 19 years, Villa fan. **** me. What a disgrace. Shouldn’t even have bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
