Really? I like him, think he’s a very good player too. If he continues his progression he could be destined for great things.Elthamaddick said:had a good game last night
but for some reason I just can't stand him, can't put my finger on why - but he's got one of those faces you just wanna smash in0 -
I always previously thought James Maddison was a better player, but there's no denying Grealish's talent.0
-
There's something quite old fashioned about somebody learning his trade at his local team, and by playing games there, getting better and better each season, and finally reaching the England team aged 25 when ready
So many players these days seem to be fast tracked and hyped up far too young, when they're still really raw8 -

I was torn between them both at the start of last season but now I think it's clear Grealish is ahead of him

Grealish is also a lot more versatile as well.jacob_CAFC said:Elthamaddick said:I always previously thought James Maddison was a better player, but there's no denying Grealish's talent.

The talent we have for the positions in and around the main striker is ridiculous:Grealish
Mount
Foden
Maddison
Barnes
Sancho
Alli (arguably)
Greenwood
Add that to the striking talent:
Kane
Rashford
Sterling
Abraham
Calvert-Lewin
Ings
Wilson
I’m sure I’m missing one or two others too.4 -
I didn't really rate him much before this season, always thought overhyped, preferred Maddison etc. But after his recent form and last night i am a fan. Should be the starter for England now and its his to lose, creative/ works hard, plays with experience. Really coming on to be the player people expected when he was younger was highly regarded, hopefully he can have a good season and continues playing well for England.1

I think he is great, a breath of fresh air. Modern footballers play like robots, there’s something individual and 90s-esque about his style of play.20

Certainly helped my dream team out.0

Totally agree. You used to have to be something really special to get an England cap under the age of 23. These days any English player that plays for a top half Premier League club seems to be in the England frame.

Grealish is now at the age where his next move is going to be key. Does he stay at his boyhood club and be the shark in the goldfish bowl or take a chance on becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond but potentially reaching bigger heights in terms of ability and trophies?
He's a hometown hero at Villa who look a much better team this season but there is potentially a glass ceiling if he stays there too long.0 -

Hope he doesn’t just chase the big move though, doesn’t always work out and I don’t agree he’ll need to move to keep improving as a player.0 -
Grealish reminds me of a young Gascoigne, can't believe one of the top premiership teams havnt taken the risk3

It's also because he hasn't been pushing for a move himself. If he had wanted to leave Villa in the summer, Man U would probably have signed himdoronron said:Grealish reminds me of a young Gascoigne, can't believe one of the top premiership teams havnt taken the risk1 -

absolutely spot on - people rave about players like greenwood and Sancho - i don't even notice they're on the pitch - identikit players - grealish has got a touch of the ginola's about him and he's done exactly the right thing staying at villa - if he went to Chelsea or man u he'd be 'joe cole'd' and be made into a workhorse8 -
Sancho for Dortmund is superb.DOUCHER said:AFKABartram said:I think he is great, a breath of fresh air. Modern footballers play like robots, there’s something individual and 90s-esque about his style of play.

Grealish will do more for England in the Euro finals than Sterling, IF he's given the chance.
Leapfrogged Mount, Barclay, Maddison and Greenwood.
Calvert Lewin very impressive too.
Front 5 to choose from
Grealish
Rashford
Kane
Calvert Lewin
Sterling
Sancho
Happy with all of those.
Foden
Henderson ideally
Not sure I fancy Rice, Dier or Phillips over one another.0 -

take your word for it - never seen him do anything for England2 -

sterling and grealish should both play - rice, dier and phillips are crap - not interested in any players who can't play and are just there for their defensive qualities2 -
the top top sides always have holding midfielders who are primarily comfortable on the ball - not semedo types

I agree that he’s not reached his club form with England. But that’s not a rare thing. Still early days with him.DOUCHER said:ValleyGary said:

He'd have gone to United if Villa went down.doronron said:Grealish reminds me of a young Gascoigne, can't believe one of the top premiership teams havnt taken the risk
Ironic really he sorted his own immediate future by keeping Villa up.1 -
To be fair to Villa they also backed up their intentions by spending £80m. Which is about £80m more than Burnley did.North Lower Neil said:

Saw him play in the friendly against Charlton - seemed a class above most of the players. Great balance and never seems rushed.5

Indeed. I've got a feeling that things are on the verge of imploding at Burnley. Their manager doesn't seem to be happy, for a start. It could easily cost them their PL place this season, I think.Addick Addict said:

Glad to see Grealish succeeding for England; he is a very talented player and it's time our national side learned to embrace this rather than going for 'safe' options. We actually have a lot of young talent in the squad at the moment; I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop in the next few years.4 -
Yeah he was better than anyone else. I know he does gets fouled alot but he did/does go down very easily. He is the kind of player who would always piss off the opposition's fans to the joy of his own fans.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Saw him play in the friendly against Charlton - seemed a class above most of the players.

This. Reminds me of Paul Merson.AFKABartram said:I think he is great, a breath of fresh air. Modern footballers play like robots, there’s something individual and 90s-esque about his style of play.0
