Jack Grealish

[domalino]

Play the ball and not the man, old fella.

He is.

You can't write a load of shite about a player and then complain when someone tells you it's a load of shite.

 

[kupest]

How are Villa opening contract talks when he is off with England. Fact is this is a brief and it wouldn't come out unless it more or less done.

 

[wolviedinho]

He's not.

We're a completely different kettle of fish, unlike anything he's ever experienced. His game is to hog the ball as much as he can, give it away reluctantly (to his teammates) and thus slowly, and look pretty - all in a mid-table team (at best).

Lots of nice little flicks and tricks, no look passes. Great stuff for Youtube..... not so much for a team with our level of talent and yearly ambition. We sign him and he's going to be in for the shock of his life, realising he's not the talisman or allowed to hold onto the ball as much as he usually does.

Nonsense. Every time JG has played against us you are generally worried once he receives the ball and starts driving forward and dictating the tempo. He has been fantastic a servant for Villa. You do his game a huge disservice IMO.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I thought it fitted well,but maybe you can come up with a better term for a player who doesn't fancy the rough stuff,lacks leadership qualities,and can disappear when the going gets tough?

Giggsy?

You would hog the ball and have to do everything on your own when your team mates are fucking John McGinn and shite like that.

At City he will get space and time to flourish because other teams have to look after KDB, Sterling, Torres, Foden, Mahrez just to name a few.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Can't see anyone paying for Sterling. He will be the one valued the highest out of the 3.

Interesting Sterling only has 1 season with a lower G&A than Grealish (which would be higher except for the 7-2 against Liverpool), and he’s only 1 year older, but Grealish is suddenly a £100mil player and Sterling needs binning.

They'd be holding face to face meetings with his agent who would speak to Grealish during one of the 22 hours a days he's not training with England but just hanging round a hotel.

It's not hard to believe they're negotiating a new deal with him.

 

[mat]

Only one way to know of he's coming.

Watch how he's treated when playing for Engerland next Tuesday.

If all of a sudden he's being called out for going down quicker than Katie Price on a first date he's joining us after the Euros.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Hahahaha why would he commit to a mid table side when he could be winning the title every season throw a few cups in there aswell

 

[ws01]

Sounds a lot like Mahrez !

Mahrez was a more noted goalscorer, having been arguably the most valuable player in a team that managed to win a title. He's also more a winger who generally stays on the wing.

Jack Grealish........ has basically had two good seasons in the Prem, for a team that finished 17th and 11th. He also often picks the ball up deep and in central positions, holding onto it for a lifetime. Something that will never, ever wash in a team coached by Guardiola, and filled with the likes of De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, Gundogan, Fernandinho, etc, etc. Players who are better than he is, basically.
