Jack Grealish

[stonerblue]

We don't watch Jack Grealish every week and Villa fans didn't watch David Silva every week. We are biased and so are Villa fans. His stats say he is a top player but we will only be able to judge when, or if, we are watching him each week in our team.

I've watched him and Villa regularly for 3 seasons and he is nowhere near Spanish.

You have to go and spoil it don't you ? This is no time to be sensible.

You’re quite right - this is neither the time nor the place for that common sense stuff :-D

 

[hilts]

Crack.

I’m sorry did he saw in terms of raw ability Jack(who I hope we sign) is ahead of Foden? Am I missing out on some ridiculous in joke?

As far as i can tell, he thinks exactly that. It is piss funny but i don't think it was meant to be a joke.

I am simply asking for him to be judged in our team and suspect he would deliver a lot.

apparently, the villa club shop has ran out of the letter E

Thats good enough for me !!!!

Sid, all opinions obviously but i believe Foden is different gravy compared to Grealish. The lad is a once in a generation talent. He's what 4 yrs younger and his stats are already better than Grealishs and he doesn't even get to play as regularly as Grealish as Pep likes to rotate. Don't judge him on the fleeting chance he got under the dull negative Southgate.

I've watched Foden plenty. All things considered, he's on course to be a future ballon d'or nominee. I'm not judging him on England appearances, either. There are stats to support Jack, over the rudimentary G + A ones that will always support players of top teams.

At this moment in time, imo, Jack's the more complete, consistent, game-controlling player. I'm looking forward to watching Foden develop, though. More so for England! ;-)

And that's fair enough.

You said raw ability and I’m sorry but it’s not an actual contest on that front and I rate Grealish highly.

I'm guessing the first part of his user name it's a nod to Gordon Cowans.

Gordon Cowans, Brian little, Gary Shaw, Villa have had some excellent players over the years.

Hopefully you can give me a pointer as nobody else i've asked has managed to offer anything but the Scouse game last season.
Which matches stand out for you as the ones where Grealish has controlled or changed the game?

Great team to watch those even the Ron Atkinson team played good football.

True but Foden had the best PL stats last season at City for G and A per minute. Therefore he vying to be the best player in a team full of good players. I hear what you are saying about Grealish but I suspect most of your attacking play goes through him, thats not the case at City with Foden when he is playing alongside KDB Gundog Mahrez and Sterling. Anyway i respect your opinon i just dont agree with it. Cheers

3rd for G/90 behind Aguero and Gundogan and joint 2nd with Mahrez for A/90, miles behind De Bruyne.

Although 3rd and 2nd is still top quality stuff.

They have different abilities. Foden's an exceptional finisher for one so young, for example, but Jack's the best dribbler of a football I've seen in the PL for...I can't even think of the answer, tbh:-) Can you?

He can also control the flow of a game. Some posters on here seriously underrate Jack, I think.

Correct, mate. Still my all-time no.1 Villa hero. Jack could depose him, if he plays his cards right! ;-)

This is dribbling. Foden destoyed some of the best in the business. Pay particular attention around the 36 second mark where you will see him ride heavy tackles in quick succession, summat Grealish never does.

Click on PL and best average for G + A - PK and its Foden who has the best ratio for minutes played of all city players last season. Just ahead of KDB!

mccity best G and A minus PK stats per minutes played combined according to this website.

Haven't read all recent posts, but why is there an apparent pissing contest between Foden and Grealish?

It's so boring. Some City fans cannot BEAR the idea that a player from another team might also be a terrific player. So fucking boring and so infantile.
