If he moved for money he should've moved to MLS or China not to ****ing Birmingham and I say that as someone who grew up a stones throw away from the Villa ground, it's an utter shit hole.

Childhood club aside, Villa look a lot more likely to avoid relegation than Southampton, perhaps a bit of glamour in the cup or Europe, nicer ground to play at and so on. |

Not that he would be living a stones throw from Villa Park. Are there any upmarket/posh areas near Birmingham i.e a short drive away that might put some miles on the Bentley/Merc/Range Rover etc. Don't see him as a Ferrari type guy.

With Grealish going and no Ross Barkley I don't fancy their chances. They over performed last season and will be weaker this season. As for the ground I haven't been to St. Mary's but it's much newer than Villa Park so I struggle to see how it can be worse. The Dell was a notorious shit heap though.
I don't see that Barklay has contributed much to Villa and if Grealish does go, they have a stack of money to spend. They still have a top striker in Watkins, a centre back who acquitted himself surprisingly well for England at the WC. They've just signed an attacking player - Leon Bailey - who has impressed in the Bundesliga, with a very good scoring record for the position he plays. The icing on the cake is, of course, the addition of Serie A winning, Ashely Young :lol: In all seriousness, even without Grealish and even if wasting the money they get, I'd sooner be a Villain than a Saint. ;) |

Erdington is close to the ground and where the club trains in Tamworth, and is a very nice area. Otherwise, it's likely to be Edgebaston or Kings Heath.... |

That was quietly done. What are your thoughts, Scamp? Happy with the money?

Re: The 2021/22 Football Thread
Hang on though ladies.
Messi to leave Barca. Maybe City cancel Grealish, Villa cancel Ings and Saints will stay up!:fingerscrossed: |
Re: The 2021/22 Football Thread
Will any club really be prepared to make a 34 year old their highest earner? It would seem very short sighted. Seems like the kind of move Ed Woodward would make knowing full well in 4 months time it's not his problem.

Re: The 2021/22 Football Thread
$100m for Grelish or Messi on a free? Hmmm. I know which way I would go.

Re: The 2021/22 Football Thread
I wonder if Messi is sat at home thinking where should I go next knowing several clubs will be checking behind the couch for loose change or some owners thinking do I use that 2nd private jet/yacht enough. If I was him I would be looking at the EPL table knowing it is the best club league and thinking what would happen if I looked at Brentford or Norwich?
