Well, he's far from average, not sure what you're basing that on. EDS players will only get a look in for Carabao or early FA Cup rounds as usual, because they aren't ready. Experience matters over youth.

A cheaper option to Grealish and I wouldn't mind that as he is not much of a gamble and still has time on his side
One good season and hasn't really shone when he was facing City and there are plenty of players ahead of him in regarding the national team.

Not calling you a troll....but Cantwell over Grealish (im not a Grealish fan btw)??
Really??? I guess as they say 'there's always one' , and your most definitely the one ;)
No different to reading the fishing trips saying he is a wonderful player either. Neither of us are right or wrong in this thread.
Cheaper option and he is Villa's potential replacement to Grealish ( Cantwell would be more easier to move on if the move didn't completely work out). He too has experience in playing in the Premier League and has proved he is more than capable when he was playing against us for Norwich

I've come around on Grealish, would definitely take him at City. He's a better player than I thought and I think we're missing a nasty bastard in the side. Outside of Fern we really don't have anyone who plays with that edge.
I think Haaland + Grealish + LB would be a dream summer window.
We would have to keep an eye on him around Kev. He's got a bit of an unhealthy obssession there.

......and the lad Davis? The dippers bought from Preston was to cover Van Dickhead........maybe we should have bought him as a cheaper alternative to Dias??(2 birds with 1 stone) ......yeah thought not ;)
Difference is we really needed Dias.
He isn't a nasty or dirty player but more a player who likes the grass too much. He won't buying anymore soft freekicks if he did sign for us.

Maybe the thinking is that when Fernandinho and Rodri both plays we lose to much creativity, meaning we could replace Ferna with someone more technical.

Grealish could play through the middle but he’d be far more effective on the left. He’s like a right-footed cross between Bernardo/Mahrez.

Grealish isn't nasty,but he is very savvy......he's also incredibly committed and has that unquenchable thirst to deliver.Couple that with his wonderful ability and you cant have enough of that mix.

Exactly. And Pep loves players who play with that courage.

The reason why we are about to win our 3rd title in 4 years and closing in on perhaps our first champions league (and countless other cups trophies) whereas Liverpool are falling apart is because they pad their squad with average players like Shaqiri, Tsimikas etc. Whereas we buy top quality players even when we don't need to
Cantwell may be the better business decision but he's not close to Grealish's level and honestly can't see Cantwell being good enough whereas Grealish probably is

Grealish is a one man team. If he can’t create, then he needs to be fouled to stop the game to avoid the opposition getting the ball. One would hope that he would be told not to do that here as we press and regain the ball quickly and score from those transitions.
