I don’t think it’s that deep tbh He didn’t compare their situation, it was pretty obvious he was referring to being upset about leaving. Yes he left the club on his own terms in search of bigger things but that doesn’t mean a player can’t be sad about leaving their boyhood club.
Why would he say this? I completely understand his motives for leaving, I'm not judging that but comparing that to Messi's situation, someone who essentially was forced out of Barcelona because of financial reasons, isn't the move to get back on the good graces for Aston Villa fans.
I think a personal message from him and showing a bit of emotion would’ve helped, but us Villa fans can move on not sure who advises him but he needs to review that, as he’s under an even bigger microscope nowThank God I'm not a Villa fan because I would be fuming if I was one. He didn't even give a personal message to the fans, he could have done a video of him speaking but decide to post that text from his PR team.
I don't know who advise him, but they need to short this. Either work that could be asked or how to avoid answer certain questions.
The only thing he and Messi has in common where the years they were in their boyhood clubs, nothing else. You can't compare the exits at all.
I don’t tend to follow football but him leaving had put me in a down mood all week, I can't imagine how the long term fans must have feltI think a personal message from him and showing a bit of emotion would’ve helped, but us Villa fans can move on not sure who advises him but he needs to review that, as he’s under an even bigger microscope now
Is there any other tea, any league will do… even Conference
His PR about this whole move has been awful. The message when he left was so clearly written by someone else, a personal video would have been nice but we still would have felt salty when he started saying things about city being a proper club and its his dream come true or the release clause and how he wouldn't sign the first contract without it.I think a personal message from him and showing a bit of emotion would’ve helped, but us Villa fans can move on not sure who advises him but he needs to review that, as he’s under an even bigger microscope now

Agree with the unveiling...if they sign Kane there's no way he'd get the same welcomeHis PR about this whole move has been awful.

I think the unveiling was a bit much tbh, like some sort of statue or tribute! Don't like his comments either comparing the situation to Messi, I mean come on....
Let's have some tea on other clubs though yes!!!
I know the season hasn't started yet but who are peoples predictions for top/bottom 3?
If he ever gets a statue I hope it’s like that Ronaldo one because you’d know he hate it being pretty vainHis PR about this whole move has been awful.

Top 3 United, City, Chelsea, maybe Liverpool.I know the season hasn't started yet but who are peoples predictions for top/bottom 3?
Hendo’s going nowhere. He still has another few years left of his contract and people were concerned he wouldn’t extend, but to be fair he will be 34 by then. If he doesn’t retire at Liverpool it will be criminal, there have been talks of him renewing though so who knowsI don’t tend to follow football but him leaving had put me in a down mood all week, I can't imagine how the long term fans must have felt
P.s whats the tea on Hendo? Heard he may be leaving?
They probably would - they even did one for MahrezAgree with the unveiling...if they sign Kane there's no way he'd get the same welcome
Thats odd...my commentI didn't write this?!! I have no idea about an unveiling or who is signing or not signing Kane! What in earth is going on?!!
I think it's so hard to predict this year - but I do think there will be more of a title race this time.I know the season hasn't started yet but who are peoples predictions for top/bottom 3?
100%, I prefer it that way tbh it’s boring when there is a clear winner. Gonna be interesting for sureI think it's so hard to predict this year - but I do think there will be more of a title race this time.
Bloody hell that was a gauche comparison....... Eeek! Jack was literally 'over and out' and posted a video of himself scoring a bunch of goals. Messi nearly had a breakdown before he even uttered a wrod.

Same. I expect Chelsea to have a good season - especially with Lukaku pretty much done and dusted.Man City, Chelsea & Man United my top 3
