Think most villa fans will have thought the same then, we've come along way since and Grealish will know who the better bet is if the chance arises.

Oops oh well probably the theatre of nightmares for him if he leaves Villa then.
Blimey, he would have been a 16yr old Villa fan back then. You know how anti City they were/are after Barry & Milner left to join us. Turned into an excellent player.

Not for me. Can't imagine him at City. So he looked good in an England team. So what. De Bruyne was much better last night and is a class above. His control, brilliant passing especially that long perfectly weighted long pass out to the right with the outside of his foot was perfection.

kdb is run into the ground has had a load of injures and is 30 ,, that’s why we have the same problems year after year not replacing , resting or rotating our legends quickly enough

He was always going to sign a new deal,as he would never shit on Villa.Should have made a move when his contract was running out.
If the rumour of a buy out exists,everyones a winner.

Pep doesn't favour a traditional winger,he likes his widemen to be comfortable cutting inside and switching position if need be.Hence why Grealish would be perfect.Thank you. We need actual wingers, he is just like coutinho or ziyech, can play as a winger but we need a real winger not a player that would always drift inside.
I don’t get where people see his place in our team and don’t say midfield, because it is a role he literally never plays.

A poor England team......and he plays on the left,where he'd compliment KDB.The pair of them,alongside Foden/Bernie,would be incredible.Not for me. Can't imagine him at City.

A perfect rag.
He'll be worshiped there for being a diving cry baby who turns it on against Burton Albion and bottles it against us.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. Have to be careful though cause he's obviously in a bit of form at the moment so he's being bigged up immensely.
Be interesting to see him react to hitting a bit of a dry spell. He's probably already done this but I've not followed his career that closely to know.

I think he's been playing at this level for a while - going off whenever I saw him last season, his chances created stats last season (second only to Kev I think) and what Villa fans say about him. Him getting an england chance has suddenly made people notice what's been there for a while.
Amusing how much opinions in this thread seem to have changed considering all the snide digs at him in the summer...

Not saying you're wrong, but we didn't half seem to be a much better team with more traditional wingers Leroy and Sterling on the wings

I agree,i love a 442.The boss thinks otherwise.Not saying you're wrong, but we didn't half seem to be a much better team with more traditional wingers Leroy and Sterling on the wings
I dont think hes ever encouraged our players to hug the byline.

Not sure we did the 100 point season was great, for me though the 98 point, plus FA cup and league cup season was better. That season we mainly had Bernardo right and Sterling left.Not saying you're wrong, but we didn't half seem to be a much better team with more traditional wingers Leroy and Sterling on the wings

I thought Grealish was a breath of fresh air in a turgid England team that has had all the life sucked out of it by the cautious and cowardly tactics of Southgate.

Agreed. Same at work though, lads who wouldn't have took him in the summer just gone, now all suddenly singing his praises.
A lot of people form their opinions on players from whats in the papers, irregardless of their footballing ability.

dont see where he fits into the team since we have foden bernardo and kdb as attack minded midfielders. and sterling and ferran who are right footed left wingers. only place i can see is if he is brought in to play false 9.

He has certainly gone up a level but we weren’t really looking at that type of player we had other gaps to fill. In hindsight it would have been a good buy, his price although hefty no doubt in the summer must have gone up by quite a large amount.
In a fantasy scenario we would buy him with Mahrez going the other way, would cost a bit but would be great. Won’t happen mind.

Bellamy wasn't a diving-cheating-Peaky-Blinders-Wannabe-over-hyped-prick, whereas Grealish is.Indeed.
He looks a right **** but like Bellamy we’d fucking love him if he played for us.
I thought that was what Bellamy was exactly tbhBellamy wasn't a diving-cheating-Peaky-Blinders-Wannabe-over-hyped-prick, whereas Grealish is.

Not a chance!I thought that was what Bellamy was exactly tbh
I don’t ever remember Bellers going down easily in the box.
What I do remember is the two goals at the swamp in the 3-4, in which Craig had camelgob shitting out backwards.
