Jack Grealish

I was surprised when I looked that up made 60 interceptions last season that’s only two less than Rodri

To be fair, we don’t often not have the ball. Hard to intercept when you’ve got the ball.

Never played under Pep either.
He might end up a striker or our right back!

I was responding to someone saying they remember him doing well up front for Villa

That's surprising to me as well. I'm not getting my hopes up.

I can't recall the last time two teams were both quite so confident in obtaining/retaining a player. It has to be said his agent is playing this extremely well for his client. We'll see how it plays out.

Apologies for jumping in.

I reckon JG would be productive anywhere outside of the defensive line. You already know this though!

Seems it won’t be this week, but Aston Villa’s so called reliable journalist has got it completely wrong. Said Grealish was back off his holiday and would sign a new deal

I don't usually watch highlight reels but... he is an impressive player. goal scoring ability/good passer/good speed and strength. His defensive work I couldn't tell you the first thing about though.

Yeah can never go off a youtube highlights video.... I watched one once and Jo looked World class.

Just a shame he was cup tied.

He could have been our Brazilian Matias Vuoso.

I just don't see it in Grealish. A huge regression on Dave Silva at about 3-4 times the price, a big name and a lot of media attention but nowhere near as good.

Would much rather see us in for Insigne. 5 years older than Grealish, but the better player and less than one year left on his contract at Napoli. If the next youngish David Silva isn't available atm, Insigne would be a superb addition for the next 2-3 years.

The omens are good. Happy Darius Vassell day everybody!

Rather save your late verdict for when/if he signs. Certain users are complaining about lack of transfer activity and up in arms or complain about how dead a signing would be at the first bit of info
