Nostalgia. He was free.

Used to deliver his post when he was at Villa CMOAC

nazoreth · July 31, 2021, 6:14pm

He was a villa legend for so many reasons. The whole “getting caught sending nudes online” thing was hilarious

If we signed JWP, Buendia and Bailey but lost Grealish is see that as a squad upgrade tbh. The rest of our fandom would still be gutted but fuck them

Cereal_Mews · July 31, 2021, 6:35pm

With all these signings, I imagine Villa fans will feel that qualifying for EL would be the minimum expected, right? Honestly, your squad looks pretty sick.

Gotta be realistic. Challenge the top four and that nah I dunno its hard to know what to expect in preseason

ihatethegeneralpublic · August 4, 2021, 7:00pm

Power move.

nazoreth · August 4, 2021, 7:37pm

Interested to see how he is used. Alongside Watkins? As a killer sub? No clue

If we sell Grealish now and buy one more, perhaps Ward-Prowse, we will have strengthened the team really well

If we keep Grealish then it’s la la land really.

Smashed it either way

You aren’t keeping Grealish.

nazoreth · August 4, 2021, 7:40pm

Shruggedy shruggedy

I look forward to suddenly thinking he dives a lot like everyone else

Cereal_Mews · August 4, 2021, 7:42pm

Yep. City really are signing Kane and Grealish. That’s actually hilarious (-ly depressing) given how much money they can throw around.

nedertron · August 4, 2021, 7:43pm

FFP doesn’t matter anymore. They’ll pay what Levy wants. Aguero off the wage bill, anyone else?

ciaran · August 4, 2021, 7:46pm

Seems City are going the Bayern route by hoovering up all the best talent from their league.

Would like to see him go up another level, similar to LFC, again. Shame that didn’t work out long term for him.

ihatethegeneralpublic · August 4, 2021, 7:48pm

Yeah he’s definitely got the ability, I’d hoped for a move further up the table but there it is.

TerryTibbs · August 5, 2021, 9:06am

Saw a post on Facebook that genuinely made me lol:

“Time for Grealish to do a David Brent on Thursday, by cheating medical science, by faking high blood pressure in his medical, so he can stay at Villa”

TerryTibbs · August 5, 2021, 10:00am

Just done my FPL team. Do we have a forum league?

tbk11 · August 5, 2021, 12:04pm

not sure who set up it before but they’d just need to renew their team and the league will come up

if not just make a new un

TerryTibbs · August 5, 2021, 1:32pm

Cool. I’ll give it until next week for whoever set the first one up to restart it. If not i’ll set a new one up for everyone.

Cereal_Mews · August 5, 2021, 5:54pm

Messi is officially gone from Barca.

nazoreth · August 5, 2021, 5:56pm

Wow that’s nuts
