Jack Grealish

[Mike Cledford]

Villa fan in peace. Created an account after heard about the phenomenal amount of pages you had for Grealish. I'll start off by saying always liked the blue side of Manchester over Manure. Proper club and fans.
Just thought I'd clear some things up per the comments I've been reading.

- Grealish is lifelong Villa fan. His great great great grandfather won FA Cup in 1905. That may not mean much in today's market though.
- Funds. Seen some comments about our spending and needing to sell to buy. We're listed as 6th richest owner because part owner is richest man in Egypt but that discounts other owner Wes Edens which might bump us up the list.
- Wes Edens is long time major shareholder of Milwaukee Bucks who have held onto the Greek Freak for ages and I believe they recently gave him the biggest contract in NBA history. Long story short owners have a plan which includes money offered for marquee player is irrelevant to clubs progress.
- Luiz buyback expires soon. Have seen some comments here that could be used as a makeweight for Grealish. We bought Sanson last season for similar role. I really like Doug but many Villa fans thought last season wasn't as good as the previous and are not overly fussed.

Sorry for the screed of text but thought you'd like to hear Villa fan's opinion. Any comments welcome

Do Grealish and Mings do each other's hair in the lockdown? Possibly with masks over their eyes?

Intersting assessment. I think Kev is a world class 10 tbh. Seen him play there plenty down the years.

He’d be world class in most roles tbh. We’ve not used a 10 since Pep has been here though really, although you could argue that our 8s become 10s when attacking.

Spot on. Think even then false 9’s end up in the 10 position. You’ve got to be super versatile in those roles for Pep. Look at Phil. Done both 8’s both wide forward positions and the false 9 and looked ace in all of them.

You reckon Grealish will start ahead of Phil at the euros ?

 

[SWP's back]

I hear the hype but don't see it. Tonight the commentators were even making stuff up about his contribution to the goal. Still emperors new clothes syndrome for me. Yet to be convinced.

Lol

Can I have 2 answers to this please?

He should, yes, in my opinion.

Will Southgate? I’m not so sure. He’ll probably bench both and go with Henderson and Mount in midfield and Sterling and Rashford out wide. #Safegate

hahahaha. Trust Gareth he’ll fuck it up.

Lol

You are a card...

Southgate played him centrally, which isn’t his forte. He did ok there, but he isn’t a number 10. He needs licence to roam around.

100%

As i keep saying,playing him alongside Foden and Bernie....they can roam/interchange and cause mayhem to their hearts content!

We know Pep's ultimate dream - 10 midfielders plus the goalie (where even the goalie is "rush"!).

Grealish will thrive in such a fluid, adaptable playing style.

I think we'll sign sign him and Andre Silva.
That will be enough to retain the title.
