He's on holiday isn't he?

I think Grealish would be viewed the same by your fans, too, albeit he's not 21.

There’s two at least most definitely..

Based on what ? Being the best player in a midtable and relegation fighting villa team.

Makes you wonder. If you were him, would you be skimming through this thread now? I know I would(in-between sniffing coke off a midgets head)

Yep silly me
But I think it was filmed with all the staff present.......maybe not

There would still be three years on the deal. The real pressure for Villa to sell would come in the summer of 2023; the length of the current contract means Villa hold all the power in any deal that might be done this summer. The problem for you is you are going after two players who have locked themselves into comparably lengthy contracts. There's no way Grealish can run two or more years of his contract down by underperforming or sulking, not that I think he would. This strikes me as an impossible deal for City to manage.

Villa hold all the power providing Grealish wants to stay. If he wants to go to a CL team and a far better team, then that all changes

I disagree. What are his options with four years still remaining on his deal if Villa simply refuse to sell?

No. Based on my 40 odd years of watching footballers, and 6 years of watching Jack's development. I think it's a better barometer than 'he plays for Villa'! :-)

bernardo has not been better than grealish for the past 2 years!

anyone who says other wise is just looking at bernardo through blue tinted glasses

Sniff sniff

Cant see Grealish playing for a Pep team , he hangs on to the ball too long , were as our style of play is one/two touch , no doubt he is a superb player and maybe he could adapt to our style but if i had a choice of keeping Bernardo or buying Grealish , (due to the rumours that Bernardo wants to leave) i would have Bernardo every day , he's a Pep type of player with brilliant workrate and ball retention and has proved himself at top level club football.

Nailed it jimmy

 

[stonerblue]

The thing with Bernardo is he's a very important cog in a well oiled machine.
His stats, which people seem keen to undermine on here all the time, aren't that important in the grand scheme of things.
That said, if he was to leave then Grealish could definitely fill the gap once he's had time to adjust.

No way he could fill that gap unless he had crack, fast and steroids before ko

Shit someone let pep know this news

 

[stonerblue]

Grealish not a Pep player coz he hangs on to the ball too long, but Bernardo is a Pep player coz he has ball retention.

Only on Blue Moon

Which he uses, instead of falling over.

 

[stonerblue]

Prob why Grealish is second on chances created because he knows when to release it

Bollox. It's free kicks

Maybe , maybe we will get to see.

One thing he has to do is stop going to ground and not to slow down the play, like FFS in his first 18 months.

Aston Villa rarely if ever play against 10 men behind the ball , we do most games, the game is very different when that happens and it could take some time for him to learn how to get round it.

Except if pep didn’t want him surely he wouldn’t be linked with us so strongly?

Yeah, you'd think every single argument against him is something the club would have considered and decided wasn't actually an issue or at least nothing problematic.
