Jack Grealish

[stonerblue]

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! ;-)

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.
