People talk like Grealish is a kid....what is he....27-28? he has 3-4 years at the top of his game at best.....look at KDB at present and how his levels have dropped.
In his prime,as we are finding out.People talk like Grealish is a kid....what is he....27-28?
We signed Fernandinho at 28. He did alright for a while. Grealish is in excellent shape. He's got easily another 4/5 seasons in his best condition IMO. KDB's problem is his body is fucked from loads of injuries.
Agreed....I dont think KDB has ever been the most naturally fit either.....same as the likes of Kun for instance and in comparrison to the likes of Sterling for instanceWe signed Fernandinho at 28.

He needs to be better than his current level as well. I dont disagree he has improved but he was very poor before that...he was having very little to no impact on games ...now he is having some but there definitely needs to be more and he still needs to go up another levelIn his prime,as we are finding out.

And the Belgium manager playing Kev in every meaningless friendly.KDB is just exhausted from playing every game he’s able to. Pep’s refusal to rest him has caught up.

Kev himself had input on that,and chose otherwise.
He still hasn't retired as far as im aware.

Yeah I agree with that too. I guess I think it's both that his body is a bit fucked and also that he needs to rest more.
Pep is literally known for his rotation. Pep rouletteKDB is just exhausted from playing every game he’s able to. Pep’s refusal to rest him has caught up.

Was he really the best player on the pitch at our place? I thought he was fairly average in a game we were very poor in and as soon as we stepped it up when we smelt they actually weren’t a good team at all and felt we could win the game, he became invisible.I have seen him in the flesh twice and he was simply outstanding.
Earlier in the season in the home leg , he was the best player on the pitch but the last 20 he was literally dead on his feet.
The season before was a similar scenario.
He has a real presence and maturity way beyond his tender years and a nasty streak which has been sadly missing in our engine room since Fernandinho moved on.
He seems to be a natural leader of men , which is no mean feat for such a young man.
But in-spite of all his on field abilities, his maturity when he is interviewed is very revealing.
Pay the dosh.
If we do get Bellingham & Guerrero leaves, I’d love to see Gomez go on loan to Dortmund.
