Perhaps he recognises that Villa are two seasons of investment away from being able to compete regularly around the top four - combined with the knowledge that he is adored where he plays his football currently. It's clear from reading this thread that to you guys he would be just another footballer passing through whereas to us he has a lot of emotional value and that this isn't well understood. Not that he would ever be looking around forums, but if I were him and saw some of the posts on here about me I would seriously question whether I wanted to move to you.
No they’re not.
Even if they have a worldie season they’re not getting anywhere near a top 4 spot in 2 years.
 
yea Grealish was top 4 for assists and top 3 for chances created only behind KDB. He also had 2nd most take ons in the league. and his defensive contribution surprised me on how much he works for the team. 61% tackle success rate 644 duels won and 60 interceptions that’s only two less than Rodri.
Haha 16g/a is price record worthy. You are even telling me his defensive stats like it is important.
 
Genuine question after watching that video.

Can someone tell me what Grealish offers better than any of our present squad?

I’ll offer one, he has a great collection of girly hair bands. Lucy Bronze can do swaps with him!

So you keep saying. Which forward do you think he’s replacing? When every source reckons he replacing Bernardo. So compare him with Bernardo the player whose place he’ll probably take., including Bernardo’s defensive stats.

it is important in a pep team our wingers defend / track back it’s the whole reason why everyone loves Bernardo. 16 goals and assists , but created 3 less chances than KDB if Villa had better players he would easily get 15 to 18 assists he’s a very good player.

Last I knew, getting a top 4 spot doesn’t win you a trophy. It gives you a ticket into the Champions League, where they might get out of their group, but their coefficient would be zero and probably seeded in pot 4, meaning a possible run in the Europa League after Xmas.

Meanwhile, their league form has dipped hugely as they haven’t played the extra games before.

If Grealish wants to win trophies, he’ll leave Villa. If he wants to take Villa as far as he can; he’ll stay.
 
Great dribbler, both across the pitch and down it, and (on his day) his passing's on a par with KDB IMO. Looks energetic defensively too. Just can't stand how he uses "initiating contact" as a tactic (much like Kane does).


Every player makes the most of a foul from time to time and exaggerates how much a tackle hurt.

Not every player goes looking for the contact when they're in trouble or in a dangerous area of the pitch.

This greasy prick goes down exactly the same way every time he feels contact from behind. Cheat! Plain and simple.
I don't get it, he's talented and ought to see diving as below him and a tool used by the less talented.

If he cuts out the bullshit he'll do fine with us. If he keeps it up, I just hope he gets called out for it if he's wearing sky blue.

Top four - not had such a laugh for ages.
We finished 12 points off with Grealish out for more than a third of the season. We were on course around Christmas before he got injured. This is exactly what the club will be selling to Grealish - if we don't make it by 2023 then I'm sure he will go. It's sad that so many of you seem to have forgotten what it's like to have a proper connection with one of your players.
