Jack Grealish

[Blue Pete]

Decent player but too similar to what we already have in my opinion. He'd be competing with Foden, Bernardo, KDB and Gundogan, so wouldnt be an upgrade worth the amount of money they would want.

 

[eastlandsblue]

He would not be good enough for us. Put Gundogan into the Villa team and and people would cream themselves over him. While here before current season he often was the scapegoat.

Last thing I want is to spunk 80-100m on Grealish.

Then go real and go big big and get a real world class player for 120-140m instead.

Heard all this tripe when we signed Barry and Milner

The difference is both Barry and Milner were reasonably priced and they both did help the team push on. Grealish won't and we are well covered in Grealish's best positions.

In Pep we trust.

If Pep thinks Grealish is good enough for this football club (I think he is) then we should trust him. Grealish is already a very good player albeit at Villa but I truly believe Pep will turn him into a quality player.

Pep can get it wrong. Same with Mancini and Pellegrini

Same with @RayCTID.

Your hatred of Grealish isn’t natural

I don't hate but don't rate Grealish.

 

[urban genie]

If he signs, welcome Jack and good fortune , if he doesn't I won't lose any sleep.

Pretty non plused either way over the posibility

Really, I couldn’t have noticed that given that you totally don’t frequentLy post on this thread about how you don’t like him

 

[citytill1die84]

Pep can get it wrong. Same with Mancini and Pellegrini. Pep wanted Jonny Evans and Maguire

Both not doing to badly for Leicester & the rags tho

He will be a bargain at 8 million or 20 million.

Surprised it didn’t mention that he would join us just to be able to see KDB on the regular in person

I suspect it’s the Balti pies he’s really interested in.....

Probably not as often as you're wrong.

If the club believe that Grealish would help the team push on then it financially acceptable terms can be agreed , it will happen.

Unless you know differently of course as you are so definite about the situation ?

 

[bugsyblue]

Grealish is a terrific player. I can only see him coming though if one of Sterling or Mahrez was sold (assuming Pep isn't about to sell Foden, Torres or Bernardo!).

True but no one is fallible

£100m is a ridiculous valuation for Grealish.

You can't say Pep "got it wrong" when you are talking about signings he never even made.
You can't blame Pep for a player's bad form under another manager.
Okay, Bravo and Nolito weren't great. Mendy still looks like a flop. But that's it really.

I'd be willing to bet that either of Evans/Maguire, plus Sanchez, Jorginho, and Fred for that matter, would all have been good under Pep. Certainly better than they have been elsewhere. In Pep I trust.

Worth it if he's 60 mil. Him and Haaland would be a spectacular summer.
