No boos, certainly no cheers, just dead silence. He's an ex player now, another club's player, no one to care about. That is certainly my intention. I think it would annoy him more. He thrives off people booing him and he is probably expecting to get a good reception from some fans. Complete silence from everyone would be best. Would confuse his little brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I actually think booing him will hurt him because I bet he's expecting a hero's welcome. Every other ground he'll love it but Villa Park I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if he claims to be one of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't be at that game because the same time it kicks off I'm scheduled to be in the North West committing Britain's first "themed" burglary . The theme will be shitting in all the sinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa fans can’t feel bitterly disappointed at this saga, and let those feelings be heard upon his return to Villa Park, I really don’t know when. I’d almost go as far as saying the opposite. It would almost be pathetic if we (Villa Park collectively, not any individual fan) didn’t boo him. That, for me, would carry an implication of a servile resignation that I’d rather hope doesn’t represent our club’s attitude towards this whole thing.

JoshVilla Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think he'll be booed. Not saying that it's the right or wrong thing to do, but especially since it became common knowledge that he asked for the release clause himself while telling all the fans how much he believed in the project here and wanted to be part of it. That and the fact that he left as the club is on the up and with a real chance at Europe this coming season (which I think we still do, tbh). Will be interesting to see how he reacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think booing a player as good as Jack, who has done so well at the club for so long, who left on good terms for a record transfer fee would be pretty weird. I’m not sure he’s left on very good terms. Certainly not on our terms, and not with a lot of fans, hence the bitter disappointment. And booing would be a very, very natural vocalisation of that disappointment. I can understand perfectly why you, or anyone else, don’t want to boo a former favourite player, but to say booing him would make us look pathetic is expecting far too much emotional distance from what is for many of us quite an emotional situation. A level of emotional distance I, frankly, personally don’t particularly want to have as a football fan. Edited August 10, 2021 by El Zen 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Now the dust is dying down regarding the transfer I can now reflect on it in the cold light of day. It was obvious to grealish and it was to some on here, that his head had been turned as long ago as 3 years ago when Spuds were sniffing around, then other vulture clubs a couple of years ago and now his time with England at the Euros has given him a taste of..........of what to be honest...? ....Winning lots of stuff, yes, well he will do that with them and most professional footballers treat the job as well just that, a job, and if the chance was to become more successful and richer, then most players probably would take the same route if we are honest. But......I think the reason why they bought him was not for what grealish thinks...I think they bought him for being the poster boy in a similar mould to Bechkham for example, the amount of shirts and additional exposure will be huge to that club...they will recoup the transfer fee with ease. Man Ci£y are such a boring team but with the addition of grealish making the odd appearance will add to their exposure especially in the far east where yet more massive riches await them based purely on his face (and hair).....and thats why they bought him...marketing purposes, playing football is secondary.....and grealish has not yet woken up to that fact, but he will and regret this for a long long time.

Zatman Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Think the Spurs thing isnt fully correct, he said at the time he thought he was leaving because we needed the money. He had emotionally left us on that opening game vs Hull so can be tough to mentally get back Said it before but his agent is a problem but think his father as well, he was having public feuds with the Ireland management when Jack was 18 and has the overbearing father approach Edited August 10, 2021 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A level of emotional distance I, frankly, personally don’t particularly want to have as a football fan. I don't think it's possible for a player as good as Grealish to leave to a club as good as Man City on any better terms than he did. Like I've been saying, he's being punished for being good. If he was shit and stayed here for another 5 years and left on a free to Blackburn everyone would be sucking his balls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
