keep seeing this stat as if it's some kind of marker to his ability. It isn't.

I'm simply pointing out that he was the most fouled player, which would suggest if he is on the ground more than any other, then it's on account of his having been put there by an opponent (much like Hazard, Sterling, and Silva in the past ). He's quick of mind and fleet of foot. Now presumably, most of those fouls occur in the final third of the pitch, so that again would bode well in terms of creating goalscoring opportunities.

He's still a mard arse that goes to ground at every opportunity, if he turns up for us, which looks a strong possibility, I hope and believe the first thing Pep will do is get that out of his game and tell him it's unacceptable at MCFC.

One way of looking at it.

It's all from a contact a mate has at the club, it involves Mbappé leaving PSG in the final year of his contract and them putting the feelers out for Raz to replace him. Apparently there's a lot of imponderables but it's a situation that could happen. You never know with rumours but as I said the only previous info from this guy (he works at City and I have no idea in which department) was when the Delph deal was seemingly dead he told my mate when it was being resurrected. Could turn out to be absolute bollocks :-)

Not sure about this tbh.

He'll have been told to do that to improve Villa's chances with more set pieces so just doing his job. I don't understand why people see it as a personal morality tale.

Not sure about the idea that it's unacceptable at MCFC, where have you got that from? Sometimes City players dive too.

Also every time I've watched him people DO foul him because he's too quick on the turn for them and he's the source of all Villa's attacks.

Totally disagree, it's in his game, a lot of players do it, part of the game I hate.

Last night Pogba and Rat face did it the whole game, players like Grealish with good ability don't have to and don't need to constantly go to ground like they have been shot, I lose all respect for players like that.

Cancelo does it for us, Rodri to, Fern dives and gets free kicks but at vital times when we are under threat, big difference to rolling about on the floor screaming for your mum.

Thanks for sharing, for me it seems like this is the deal that will happen right after the final this weekend since everyone on this forum have heard something about it. The Harry Kane deal will be the transfer saga of the summer since Levy needs to sell but needs to feed his public image.

As others have written we have 2 spots available if Carson leaves and we make Trafford our 3:rd keeper, so there's no "need" to sell Sterling OR Jesus.

Personally I'm buzzing if this plan will come to fruition this summer since I believe we will be too far ahead of everyone whatever other PL teams do this summer.

Up to February, Grealish was the most fouled player in the league (4.5 per game) with the next far behind (3.4).

If I was on the pitch up against him , I would want to kick him off it, he is that type of player, a face that needs a slap.

You are wearing blue tints,half a dozen of our players are happy to cheat when the occasion arises,while one or two go looking for it.The main difference for me is that we aren't very good at it,so i suspect it isn't something practiced on the training ground like it clearly is at the Swamp.

I'm not a fan of Grealish going to ground so often,but its his superb ability and foot movement that invites such,and he does it to gain his team an advantage their football might not ordinarily present.Subsequently in a superior,possession based,team like ours i don't think he will feel the need to.

Did you see the one Fernandes did last night where he just twisted his whole body and threw himself to the ground without even being touched? Oscar Worthy.. think it earned him a free kick

Appalling and the reason people are seeing him for what he is, a overrated , flat track bully and cheat.

I don't want that type of player anywhere near this club and a reason I don't want Grealish.

No blue tinted glasses here, some of our players do it and I hate it, no player, even more so with great natural ability has to go to ground for no reason, as said, I lose all respect for players that do.

Are you saying Grealish cheats in the same manner that rat face does?

Yes, same peas in a pod.

Grealish is a great talent, an exciting player but he spends far too much time on his arse and a lot of it self inflicted.

He reminds me of Mick Channon back in the day, a very talented player who could or would not stay on his feet.
