He then got us finishing six places higher the next season. (Not single-handedly, obviously, but I mean more than anyone else). How about a bit of gratitude for all that? I respect his wish to play in the CL and to win the league and the FA Cup. I have a strong feeling he's moved essentially for that more than for more money. If he'd stayed at Villa he probably wouldn't have won one of those things, unfortunately. Leaving to win one or more of those competitions doesn't mean he isn't a Villa fan anymore. What it means is that he wants to win one of those competitions during his career I'm a bit shocked at some of the animosity I've just read in this thread, which I'd put off reading till just now. Thank you Jack for four brilliant, much better years. He traded in all he had said for Silverware, he and his family Just flat out bull crapped a whole fan base and then just Swapped loyalty for trophy. I can see why people wont ever give him an ounce of respect now hes gone, when you lie you dont exactly deserve respect. It certainly doesnt matter what you did in the past once you started back on everything you said. Sure he helped get us up, helped stop us from being relegated but I dont trust him and why should any other fan feel they should support him or respect him when he simply abandoned the fans who loved him the most. Fans are feeling hurt by him and it's not because he just left it's because of the way he put himself out there to his team mates, Club and fans. As far as I'm concerned the moment he traded in his pride, his captaincy for more money and trophy hunting is the moment I stopped believing in loyalty in footballers. I actually believed in him and I'm not just saying it, I really believed all the way he would stay and turn down that club and would be with us till his playing days were at an end. Now I dont begrudge him a move, he wanted to get himself some medals or silverware but what I cant stand is talking bollox like he did. I hope he never comes back to Villa, he can finish his playing career elsewhere I am done with his BullCrap. If I were him id of stuck it to City and said no way am I leaving unless I made to, to captain your supposedly own side your supposed to support is not something you run out on if your a hardcore fan. Would any of you do it if you was in jacks shoes? Most likely no because it's a dream that's never going to come to pass is it, so he captained Villa for a tour or so seasons?? and some think hes some Villa Legend, hes not and he wont never be now..

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 still feel an urge to try and defend him due to there being absolutely no context the and on the shoulder is completely innocent yet very cleverly made to look like he's being ushered, the 2nd photo which looks more forcefull he steps outside he is being ushered towards his car and driver because there's a load of press outside hounding him the dress sense makes him look pissed but just to be sure they inserted a photo of someone else who is drunk to really sell it, no doubt they'll add a line about from a mysterious source who was also there about how much vodka he was drinking and how loud he was Grealish has got a long way to go before i hate him more than our "journalists" but this is the flip side of the superstardom that he wanted, photographers waiting outside of bars and restaurants pestering him as he gets in a car, they'll ruin him if they can and it makes a good story 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Said it numerous times already, I think we did very very well out of the Jack to City deal. His continual “going out” life style and antics will catch up with him. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but ever since his last injury he now seems reluctant to run and drive at the opposition as much? I may be imagining this though? His performances early last season were phenomenal but ever since that last injury, he just hasn’t looked right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellbergsBeard Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 He was a nobody the year we got relegated, I don’t know why people want us to be grateful that he stayed with us after that? He is lucky we never swapped him with Blackburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 18 hours ago, JoshVilla said: Anyone know what sort of reception he got from the Norwich fans on the weekend since he was booed by Leicester and Spurs fans previously? Tbh, I think a lot of the booing is people expressing their utter contempt for the modern game. You've got some clubs that have had their very existence threatened by the pandemic, and yet in this climate you've got City splashing 100m on a player they don't need, in a position that they're stacked in, just because they can. I'm not surprised at the reaction if I'm honest. I'm hoping the booing is because he is the most clear representation of just what Man City are and that every other fan base has had enough of them. Speaks volumes that he's getting boo'd having been the nations sweetheart 2 months ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 That ‘party’ is symptomatic of everything I hate about society: Quote It was time to party in style for Manchester City stars Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish at a glitzy showbiz party in the city centre - after both scored in the Blues' thumping 5-0 victory over Norwich at the weekend. Blues striker Riyad headed out on the town with his glamorous fiancée, former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Taylor Ward, on Sunday night to the event at Peter Street Kitchen inside the five star Edwardian Manchester hotel. Riyad was dressed casually in ripped denim jeans, white t-shirt and beige jacket while Taylor rocked summer style in a white bodycon dress teamed with strappy high heels, wearing a bright neon green tailored jacket as she posed up for photos outside the event. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/riyad-mahrez-parties-style-fiancee-21379691.amp Here’s a group of people we’re meant to lust over whose net contribution to society is being able to put a ball in the back of a net or flash their norks for the cameras. And what do they do with all of the financial and social reward they get? They clad themselves in comic book clothing and piss away champagne. Meanwhile, people elsewhere are struggling to feed their families, fight killer diseases or negotiate the end of wars. I love football but the circus is distasteful. Grealish was desperate to be part of that particular culture and he’s now got it. Well done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Just an interesting thought experiment as it crossed my mind - if we found out now that Grealish was made available to come to Villa today for £100m, would you want us to pull the trigger?
