Seems a great lad and I'm sure he will improve us.

Hi Villa fan in peace ,I always preferred city over utd even thou you guys always seem to take our best players. We are all gutted jack has left . 100 million is a lot of money but to us Jack is irreplaceable basically priceless. We have to accept our place in the player food chain and city are at the top. It must be amazing to be a city fan especially for the ones who were there before your rich owners. The guy is going to increase your global fan base big time as he is a pin up boy . Just wondering what city fans made of other ex villa players at city ie Barry , Milner and Delph nb. Apologies for the animal villa fan who hit a young city fan at Wembley we have our fair share of idiots as does every club.

Tammie, thanks for the reasoned post. It seemed like some of the other Villa guys on the board were unpleasant to say the least. I truthfully do comprehend the frustration that Villa fans must have with the sale. Firstly, it was not the City fans who bought the club, it was the Sheikh.After many years of dross it was a miracle to see City leap forward. Whilst I welcome all the success, I just wanted once in my life to see City win a trophy and being there against Stoke with my son was my greatest day, the rest a total bonus. That stupid 34 year rag banner coming down was immense. I was in tears. I believe the Sheikh looked at Everton and Newcastle before City. Recently,when Newcastle were looking at investment from Saudi Arabia, most of the posts on this site were actually positive and welcomed the competition. How we would love to be in the top four with Newcastle yourselves and maybe Everton, screwing the rags and dippers would be such fun to see. I hate the term plastic for our fans, as if you go to City, or read this forum, you will see we seem to have an older fanbase, many of whom lived through the dark times. And truthfully they were dark, but we still supported our club. You will still love Villa without Jack, and rightly so. Best of luck next season.

We are truly hated. The media have done their job exceedingly well.

We are,but i dont believe the claims in that article.....its just whipping up a frenzy to suit the narrative and create the outrage.Grealish wanted the club that could match his ambition,but he also wanted to play alongside Phil and Kev,and to better himself under Pep - that's why he's here and that's the main reason he left his first love.

Agenda, what agenda?

What an absolute crock of shite.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

No Club has ever refused to sell a player to the highest bidder.

As if the media couldn't get any worse it's now peddling fairy stories.

Maybe Villa should have let Jack go to Barcelona on a free and offered to pay his wages to help them out!

Whatever we do is wrong yet we as a Club continue to conduct ourselves with dignity and class.

Take note you stinking G14 bent bastards.

Not particularly arsed about the article itself, but more people read it and the whole thing is just self perpetuating. More hatred.

fuck aston villa, I hope Liverpool, United goes after their next best player after grealish soon.
of course you wont see any of this media cry over that.

but strangely, also hope Villa will be top6 pushing one of Arsenal/Spurs out of it lol.

i would love if Arsenal/Spurs, Liverpool etc would have to turn on someone else coming in and risking their chance of CL paces.

Leicester fucking bottling top4 in about last 2 months of previous 2 seasons sucked a lot imo. but it does not look like Leicester owners ready to invest big this summer to make the jump needed. only got two cheap signings so far, with Patson Daka might have some good potential but it isnt making rivals sit up and take notice.

Villa would also need 2-3 more seasons and every summer some good money spent to reach that level maybe a different manager too.

fucking Everton had the money imo but thet spent it rather shit last 3 seasons and have not got anything going...

If I were a city fan I would not worry about other clubs comments about your rich owners etc it’s only jealousy. Look after jack for us.My worry is we have have 15000 fans on the season ticket waiting list how many will cancel now Jack has left.
