Jack Grealish

I'd love to know how you've come to that conclusion.

By watching them both - their movement,vision,weight of pass,ability to play with both feet and retention of the ball.

Given the choice, who would you pick for left sided forward for England against Croatia next week? (No cop out answers saying Rashford or Foden please!)

Raz all day long.

Raz all day long.

I guess this is the whole crux of the debate. I don’t see it as a clear cut decision either way.

I‘d go Foden anyway ;-)

What does any of that have to do with intelligence and adaptability?

Also, Sterling's movement is probably the best in the league.

Foden.

Raz on the right.

Haha. Cop out ;)

Will be interesting to see what Southgate does and how many minutes Grealish ends up getting.

Everything.......it all revolves about where they can be effective on the pitch and their use of the ball and decision making.

Not as many has he should as Sir Marcus will get more than he should.

With respect, I think you're wrong. I'm not biased, I'm just respectful of the players in the squad and what they've achieved on the pitch for City.

You cannot make a solid argument that Jack Grealish has played consistently at a high level throughout his career, and he's 25. If he were really at the level that you're suggesting, then he'd be hot fucking property right now. He isn't.

I think it’s certainly possible to make a very solid argument that Grealish has played at a very high level for the last three seasons. In fact, you can argue that there is a definite upwards trajectory. Grealish is very much a desirable target. That’s why Villa are not going to let him leave for peanuts. You must be living in some alternate reality.

The trophies we’ve won are the achievement of a team. The individual contributions are not equal. What was Mendy’s contribution towards this season’s achievements? Yet, by your logic, he must be phenomenal because he plays for City, plays for France and has won multiple Premier League titles and a World Cup.

Sorry, but I can’t buy into this way of thinking. I judge by my own eyes how players perform on the pitch. Not what teams they play for or what trophies they have won. Mbappe played for Monaco. Haaland played for Salzburg. Mane played for Southampton. Salah played for Basel. De Bruyne played for Wolfsburg. It was possible to see the quality of all those players before they transferred to their current respective teams.

Bernardo, for example, had one outstanding season, surrounded by very poor or mediocre seasons.
