Villa is a distant memory to him. He’s not trying to shaft us or anything. He’s just building his brand for his young target audience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Btw if you don’t get the whole ‘Grealish brand’ argument yet, just search his name on Twitter. All posts are of that celebration with various filters, young fans posting it everywhere, then other photos of him pointing at whatever player it was who he was hugging, and then everything else (about 25% I’d say) is about his arse and calves from female and gay followers. His focus is his brand and tbh him and his team is smashing that aspect. I can’t help but keep an eye on what’s going on with him. That’ll pass with time but for now it’s kind of fascinating to see. If you weren’t sure what modern football is to the modern football fan, it’s this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The whole brand thing is kind of disappointing because he used to give off the narrative that he just loved to play football and specifically for Villa and everything else was just noise. Really, it was us who were naive for falling for what was probably a clever bit of branding in itself ironically 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it was us who were naive for falling for what was probably a clever bit of branding in itself ironically Yeah, agree with all of this. I’m actually not one of his haters, hope he gets a good reception on his return etc. However, you are totally spot on with your post and because people outside the club don’t get the narrative that we have been perpetually fed for the last few years, they don’t understand why Villa fans have taken it so badly. Anyway, I’m cross with myself for commenting again, I was delighted to see that the thread was almost inactive for a day or so before yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) My opinion of Jack Grealish the player will never change, he is phenomenal. As a person, him being a Villa player put it to the back of my mind, but I have never been a fan of him as a person. There were some old videos of the U21 lads hanging out a few years back and he came across as a complete bell. The type to take the piss out of others, the obnoxious, hyperactive, irritating type. Now he's **** off, and let's face it, him/his family have been angling for a move for a long time, I can switch to literally not giving two shits about him.

Think from 18 he’s been the main man locally and nobody is going to tell him no, not even DS because he was the star. Wrong that is, it creates monsters, he would party and he would stick his dick in anything down here, he’ll get honey trapped up there Gifyi siggurdson style it’s a horrible city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I honestly thought he might be off when in one of the last games of the season Luiz overhit a pass to him and the camera picked him up saying 'can't believe these f'ing shit balls man' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it was us who were naive for falling for what was probably a clever bit of branding in itself ironically The mystique of my club brought in a lot of neutrals and fans from others clubs. Not wanting similar things to happen to their best players, seeing how Southgate could ignore such a big talent. All that Totti talk and hype was just smoke. At least he’s the face of BoohooMan now though. I’m sure that matters more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
