Think that's the joke mate...Seems legit, on the flip side maybe the players don't feel the need to fill in some random decorators on Villas transfer dealings for the summer.

Just had a read through his thread on Villa forum, and they all believe he's going nowhere,
yet everyone on here who knows a Villa fan has been told they know he's going........who would have thought that every Villa ITK has a mate on bluemoon ;)

Asked him today and he winked and said “I’m saying nothing” which can be read any which way and doesn’t help at all but I tried. But he was playing with Zola today and in the four in front rather than my group.I’ll ask him Tuesday.
If he's going to Spurs or United, then he is going nowhere.Just had a read through his thread on Villa forum, and they all believe he's going nowhere,

Had a friend who knew a very prominent UK agent..used to ask for info.. let me tell you it was all wrong, not once did I get a correct transfer..dont knock ITKs because they probably just report the shite I was given..watch the bets and press..they do get it right..this season has to be the worst for transfers, nothing coming out at all.Taking the piss out of the random ITKs

Before I start I would like to say I believe him to be a good player who can possibly go up another level especially if the move were to happen in this city side with pep coaching him. Although I don't personally believe he's currently better than any in his position at the club right now the talent is certainly there to elevate his game and potentially become a top player.
But since his injury his actual ability seems to have gone up 10x more than what it actually is in both media and fans perception that you would think he's the second coming of maradona himself with the way some go on about him and it's genuinely baffling. This is a player who you could say prior to his injury was having his first real breakout season, a very good one at that even if nothing exceptional or world-shattering but good enough to be considered one of the better players of the season.
The clamour for him though particularly in this tournament for the england side have reached quite frankly ridiculous levels that you would think it was not a team with multiple title-winning and champions league winning players ahead of him. The fact that there are still some who want sterling, a player who along with kane practically carried the side and was arguably the best player during the qualifiers to the tournament itself out of the team simply to make way for him even after scoring the winner and being the most threatening player in their first game is puzzling to say the least.
It's a testament to how easily narratives around certain players can cloud fans perception where you have some genuinely arguing sterling to be dropped for him because 'he didn't do anything besides his goal'. Yet I watched grealish in the two friendly games prior to the tournament and the most he contributed was one good chance for kane and a dive for a penalty, you could at a stretch argue saka's goal but that was more fortune than anything.
Outside of those 3 moments, I saw a player who was mostly 'winning' fouls because of how long he took on the ball, getting easily dispossessed, and rarely picking out anyone the few times he made a run and got in behind. All things a certain player would've got criticised for if that were to be him, but all the talk after the game for grealish were raves on how brilliant he was and how apparently the team wouldn't be able to do anything without him but somehow in the first 20 minutes against a better side in croatia, they looked much better than at anytime in both friendlies he was involved in.
This is all to say its much easier for fans to get caught up and buy into narratives about certain players even on this forum that they overlook what is right in front of them. They see a new shiny thing and suddenly get caught up in the hype so much so their flaws are minimised and strengths maximised to a level than what it actually is and that's what seems to be happening with grealish. Whereas the inverse is happening with raheem on the back of being in poor form despite having 3 seasons prior that grealish can only dream of. He's a talented player but he's not the second coming of maradona for this england side like he's made to be by fans/media and most certainly won't be for this city side if he were to sign.

So because he gave his opinion that is not the same as yours, football is suddenly not for him?Football isn’t for you mate
Lol the most annoying is when people say “Grealish would take us to the next level and is a must buy”. You would think we were a midtable club not the current champions.Before I start I would like to say I believe him to be a good player who can possibly go up another level especially if the move were to happen in this city side with pep coaching him. Although I don't personally believe he's currently better than any in his position at the club right now the talent is certainly there to elevate his game and potentially become a top player.
