The worry for me with Grealish is, we have spent 100m on a player that has now become hard working off the ball and keeps the ball well. We haven't spent 100m on a player that can be a match winner for us. That can change a game on its head and create something out of nothing.

I agree.
Now we have Erling, who is starving at the moment, we need to upgrade the left wing position with someone who is able to beat his man and create chances for him!
Because of that I'm leaning to selling Grealish in the summer and taking the hit.
Let's rewind and get in someone who would be as good as Sane was for us. I'd take the old him in our team now, his type is exactly who we need imo.

I don't think we will sell Grealish, but he is a square peg in a round hole for us. He's a luxury player and not a necessity for us.

We badly need a winger or two. We just need players that can stretch the pitch for us and give us a lot more dynamism going forward.

If we had that, Haaland would be running riot in these types of matches today.
 
He has improved but the issue is that the players he has to step up for he is not at their level....he is not and never will be a David Silva or a KDB in their prime.....

Therefoe buying him means we downgraded and now we are losing KDB's ability to afect the game and we no longer have the pace of Sterling, work rate of Jesus or Bernardo SIlva playing as he used to, Grealish just isnt good enough to step up and control games or win matches or make match winning contributions like all those others were....

Its not his fault but I think buying Grealish was the start of where we got things wrong.
 
Grealish work rate gets him decent marks. But he should be more than a workhorse. His dribbling is great and should be used to more effect by the man himself. Instead he tries NOT to avoid tackles to get him a freekick instead of manoeuvre himself in more dangerous situations.

I agree with this.

Grealish' commitment and work rate impressed me today and has over the past month, but we need wingers that give full backs nightmares. Grealish doesn't have the pace to get past his full back and his end product in the final third isn't great as his numbers will suggest.

If we had Mitoma or Kvaratskelia on the wing they would be committing defenders and looking to get past their full back. They would be far less predictable than Grealish.

The worry for me with Grealish is, we have spent 100m on a player that has now become hard working off the ball and keeps the ball well. We haven't spent 100m on a player that can be a match winner for us. That can change a game on its head and create something out of nothing.

Our standards MUST improve in the summer.

Absolutely spot on.

As Ive always said about Grealish - he does very little that ANY other player cannt do but cannt do a lot that the best can
He keeps the ball well, works hard, nice guy but THAT is is...creates very little, scores very little...runs backwards more than he does forward....

He has improved but his ceiling of ability is not good enough to replace the players he is supposed to replace
