Grealish is a totally different type of player to the two you have mentioned. He is a proper midfielder, whilst as much as I like Lamela and Lucas (with reservations), I do see them as primarily wider players. Lamela does have quick feet and Lucas is quick, but Grealish plays as a midfielder that can operate and interchange very easily and quickly behind the central attacker.I haven't but I have seen Lamela play and I know how our team operates. When does this kid get games when Lucas and Lamela are healthy?
Can't say I have access to Aston Villa games over here in the states. But I think I'm plenty qualified to have an opinion on where we should spend our resources and I don't think AM from the championship is where we should be aiming as a top 3 premier league club. Do you think fans of United, Man City, Liverpool, or Chelsea would be pumped about this deal? Hell I don't think Chelsea fans were even excited about Barkley.
My frustration with this is that we already have a back up #10 in Lamela and would be better placing these funds in another area.
Personally I'm all for sweeping up some of the younger talent in the division below. Maybe some won't make it, but some will - especially with Poch's coaching. Grealish has a high ceiling in my opinion and has the opportunity to get much better.
