[SWPISHOME]

Can’t I have both?

Grealish and Phillip?

Wonder if just like when United signed Pogba 5 years back, Mino is now starting to make the proper moves to get him out of Dortmund, and we have positioned ourselves at the front of the cue.

Think we'll be snookered

Bernardo is an amazing footballer. Unless you're one of the FT minions that relies on stats than actually watching games you would definitely rate Grealish higher than Bernardo, when they aren't even remotely on the same level, or profile.

I think that they’re both amazing players, and I wouldn’t swap Bernardo for Grealish, but I don’t think it would be a swap because they’re actually very different players.
I want us to keep Bernardo but, regardless of whether Bernardo stays or goes, I want us to get Grealish.
From what I’ve seen he provides better penetration into the box than anyone we’ve got.
Steps between players packed along the line in a way that causes big problems to packed defences.
He has fast thought and fast feet, great in small spaces and moves so quickly that he gets the penetration or gets fouled. Which causes panick once he gets into the box, for obvious reasons.
No need to offer praise for Bernardo Silva in comparison because we all know what he brings to the game, but it’s different to what Jack Grealish brings to the game and maybe Pep wants that as a weapon in his armoury?

People will be baulking at your pun

Chalk it up to a misunderstanding

That's the coconsensus

Reported in Qatar today, ongoing talks between Qatar and UAE have been positive. There is a vision both sides hold to overcome differences.

At least we'll be good on the break

At least we'll be good on the break

If not, we'll certainly be behind the eight ball.

I can't see anyone being able to penetrate when they're up against 10 defenders, Messi aside and perhaps Phil next season.

I think they would be more interested in Mahrez.

Oh please let this be so......
