Jack Grealish

[LongsightM13]

It's hilarious. I hope if we do sign Grealish their fans have their usual City signed one of our players tantrums and print fake money with the players face on it again.

I hear the Pound shops in Lichfield have been ordering in emergency supplies of plastic snakes

Funny really because all the villa fans I talk to are unaminous in their thoughts that going to City would be a fantastic move and he would go with their best wishes.

Tbf they aren't all prepubecent kids who get themselves worked into a frenzy on the tinterweb.

I'm sure, but if he signs and plays for us at Villa Park, I doubt it'd only be the internet minority jeering him.

I honestly don't think he'd get boo'd.

Happens, I’m sure Sancho will be ‘welcomed’ at our place. As for the social media mob, I don’t know why players go near it. You can see it gets to them re Wijnaldum.

I'd much prefer us to ignore him when we play them. That would do his ego far more damage than giving him any attention.

True, won’t happen though.

Haha! Will it fuck.

I think you'll be very wrong, but I do admire your optimism on this one and hope that you're right.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Sorry but what bollocks , he cheats to get set pieces , he is opposite trying to find team mates

Ahh, that must be why he creates the most chances for teammates in the entire league after KDB. You know, because he’s the opposite of trying to find team mates. You talk some shite.

 

[Phil1]

If his exit is managed the right way and he says all the things the villa fans need to hear then I don't see why they should hold the move against him. They know he loves the club, they probably expect him to return at some point as well.
Yeah, of course I could be wrong, the human race isn't a good bet these days.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

I mean yeah that's optimistic. But what makes it any different to Gareth Barry? He was club captain and had been there for 11 years when he joined us. He also turned down a lucrative Villa deal to join, and back then they had top 4 ambitions too (and were closer then).

I don't think we're going to really change each other's minds here. But I hope he signs and after the game at Villa you're the one saying I told you so, even though I doubt it'll be that way.

80m plus add on's is brilliant business for Villa.

Significantly improves there squad if they buy well and they could kick on again next season

 

[Sid McGrath]

£100m? Is that the fee that is being discussed? If so, I wouldn't be too unhappy if I were you providing it all goes back into the squad

I don't know that a fee IS being discussed! :-)

I was just repeating what the poster said.

£100m would be the absolute mimimum, tbf. It would all definitely be spent though, yes.

I mean, it's not a hill I'm willing to die on. Haha! They could well tear him to shreds and it's just a case of wishful thinking on my end.

 

[samuelyeboah]

seems like villa fans think they are going to break into the top 6 this season. personally hoping they get relegated

No, it's not...and there's no chance he'd be sold for that price.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

The hate Grealish will get from Villa fans after this "betrayal" will be worse than Barry and Delph combined x100.

Let’s just hope Grealish doesn’t melt like most of our signings returning to their former club. Most other players, and it seems especially City players used to love sticking it to us when they come back. All of ours usually hide. Worst offender was Nasri playing Arsenal.

Tbh, (I'm making a big assumption here) I suspect why your Villa supporting mates are positive about the thing is because they're your mates, and decent folk tend to be a bit more considerate about their friend's perspective. Even if they aren't really your friends human interaction is generally a lot more civil than online. I'm sure if they asked you about the possibility of him staying you'd be able to say a few things supporting the idea, in a genuine way too.

But when there's 30,000+ of them all together, they may not have that need to be considerate anymore.
