The difference is you're a spurs fan not a villa fan.
Le tissier, bull, i have far more respect for them than the anelkas of this world.
If we can get a deal done great but i will respect him less if he throws his toys out of the pram to get a move.
You have more respect for Le Tiss granted but what did staying at Southampton get for Le Tissier? A job on Sky Sports and the occasional greeting at half time at St Marys? Yes he'll stay in Southampton fans thoughts but if he had made his move which wasn't bigger than the one Grealish gets to make he could have been up there with the likes of who knows but he'll never know what could have been for him now.
I admire their loyalty, I really do it's a much needed and dying trait in the world, I just think that Jack owes it to himself as a professional to think long and hard about the pros and cons should the move potentially arise as football isn't what it used to be and chances at big clubs where you could be pushing for the 1st XI from the very off don't come around easily anymore. The top 6 barring us and the goons buy the finished article now. They let smaller clubs take risks on potentials. As I said it's ultimately up to Tottenham, Villa & Grealish but a move like this now when there's a slot free in a top 3 in the country teams midfield could give him another 4-5 years playing at the top end of the football food chain instead of languishing in relegation battles, Checkatrade Trophies or yo-yoing around the leagues. He's had one good season for Villa, this kind of chance to test himself may never come around again
