Bailey Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not a link at all but his name has been floated around the forums... Jack Grealish allegedly valued at £80mil by Villa. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grealish allegedly valued at £80mil by Villa. Wow. Grealish will go for insane money, he's English and absolute quality - not to mention that he's young so is only going to get better. If we had an endless pot of money I'd take him in a heartbeat but unfortunately he will be snapped up by one of the Manchester clubs. Not that it's this thread but I'm worried about the Zaha rumours, I'll be absolutely mad up when he signs elsewhere because he's the biggest case of "big fish, small pond" I've seen. Not what we need, especially when he will carry a similar fee as Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Would love Grealish, but at the moment it’s unrealistic for us. The type of money he will go for will be our total spending. It would also destroy any wage policy we have ( if we have one ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be on crazy money at Villa. But the transfer fee will be massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I would be surprised if any club would be willing to pay that amount at the moment. We have seen some big money deals already I suppose but it doesn't feel like a window that will see unproven at the top level players go for that amount.

Sibdane Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Am I the only one that thinks Grealish is way over-rated? Sure, he's a decent player, but I also think he's a big fish in a small pond. Romey 1878, Cisk and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt he’s a top six player. He will be England’s central figure soon enough. Or I could be wrong and he will get relegated again haha.

I think he'll make it in the Premier League at a mid to lower level club. So at the moment he's perfect for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 i rate grealish. a more consistent version of barkley is how i see him. he waltzed through our midfield many a time this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he's a decent player, but I also think he's a big fish in a small pond. The difficulty with Grealish is his position. He gets the run of things at Villa and they have him playing off the left wing but I suppose what you would call a Pienaar type position but he doesn't look to have the same defensive responsibility. It all depends on whether the team that want him can afford to do similar. I have seem him get guilty of losing the ball sloppily when he has played deeper, holding onto it for too long or trying to be a bit too complicated. My view would be if you could play him in an advanced midfielder role, preferably from the left then he is worth every penny. If your plan is to mould him into a true centre mid then it would be a risk and he could "flop". I guess in some ways its the Pogba dilemma.

Pre lockdown we saw it mostly at home with Bernard. When we get the ball he looks to move in behind the strikers, into the ten position. Leaving lots of space for our left full back to get forward. And a more typical winger on in the right. Without the ball a more rigid 442. I think Grealish would be perfect for that role, but we won’t get him anyway. James would be suited to it as well, already played that role under Carlo many times. Probably more chance of signing him too. barryj and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
