Jack Grealish

[domalino]

Yes, I think an 8 too. Left of a front 3 makes less sense considering we have Foden, Sterling, Torres and Jesus to play there.

Foden……….….Kane………...Mahrez
………….Grealish…De Bruyne……….
……………….Rodri/Gundo……………..
Zinchenko…Dias...Stones….Walker
……………….….Ederson…………………..

Swap Mahrez for a back in form Sterling (need more than one proper goalscorer IMO) and I like that side a hell of a lot.

We could be adding the league’s 2nd best creative player to play alongside the league’s no.1 creative player, and then putting the league’s best striker infront of them.

We’d be back to being a team with so much power. I feel like that was always a strength of ours when the spine was Kompany, Yaya, Aguero. Grealish is a tank, impossible to get the ball off legally. Kane is a type of striker we haven’t had for a while. There’s Dias who will continue to evolve as a leader of this squad. Walker is a beast. KDB when fully fit has extraordinary physicality. It’s really powerful. Yet full of guile also. And enough youthful vibrancy. It has everything really, other than searing pace in attack, so yes, Sterling has a clear opportunity if he can regain his form.

Surely there must be a clause in Grealish's contract with Villa to allow this? Makes no sense that Villa would accept 100m yet are trying to offer Grealish a new deal. Wouldn't they just reject any offer instead of offering a new deal?

Not really.

Player value determined by two major factors, the quality of the player + the length of his contract.

IF the player become unhappy, that doesn't mean his value should drop couple millions.


Grealish is not half as good as Bernardo, so buying him to replace Bernardo will be another crime from the 3 amigos ( Pep, Txiki & Ferran ).

Another crime from the 3 Amigos?

What are their other crimes? Winning a domestic quadruple? Becoming Centurions? Or winning 3 out of 4 titles?

Don't mind him

He's had a face on him like a slapped arse ever since Sane was sold

How, statistically, has Grealish been half the player that Bernardo is?

Amidst all the value judgements about his hair and how much he costs, this is very, very clearly the only analysis that matters and the one city will be going on.

Two players in the middle who draw defenders out, one of the best carriers of the ball and one of the best middle distance passers, a striker who can drop deep to collect the ball while also playing as a basic number 9, and players on the wing who can come inside and outside. Mahrez and Kev on one side with Grealish and Foden on the other, with Kane in the box, is such a scary prospect for the rest of the league I can't see how there is even a debate on here about whether we should going for anyone else.

Simple. Bernado's shirt number is 20, Grealish's 10.
