Jack Grealish

[Majick]

If he's sorted out his issues then he'd be a young, homegrown (but not club raised) player for the squad. He has talent, that's never been in question, but he got caught going off reservation again and again when he was young - normal teenage behaviour, of course, but abnormal for a dedicated professional athlete. Perhaps his time in the Championship hastaught him that talent alone won't keep him on top, or whatever lesson he had to learn? I haven't seen much about him lately (not that I go looking for tabloid nonsense about Championship players) but whether that's because he's got his act together or he's just a much smaller name after two years outside the Premier League I can't say.

I know Pochettino has form for keeping egos in check, but unless he's convinced that Grealish brings more to the table than any off-field issues, then this one is just paper talk.

I think if Poch took him under his wing he could work wonders with him as he obviously has a lot of raw talent, perhaps he’s just lacked a bit of guidance. He seems to have knuckled down this season and has been their standout player. Can’t see us going for him tho.

Aston Villa EXCLUSIVE: Jack Grealish hit with whopping £40m price tag

"Pricing Grealish so highly could put potential suitors off, but Tottenham and West Ham are likely to be interested if the price can be negotiated down."

He wears his socks low to show off his calves.
Show boy.

Same reason Pearce wore his shorts so high

 

[dontcallme]

"Are likely to be interested" so no actual interest at this stage.

So much terrible journalism in this country.

 

[King of Otters]

He's a good player, but we should be aiming higher after three consecutive top 4 finishes.

Whether or not we have the ambition to aim higher is another matter altogether.

Take this with a pinch of salt but my mate is a friend of Poch's son. Poch said he gave Levy a list of three potential top young midfield talents , 2 in Europe 1 in Argentina, all for £20-40m.

Levy said we are not that ambitious so he's preparing a bid for Grealish. He is using his links with the Star to get a journalist to help unsettle the player.

Yeah he's decent but I have no interest in him what-so-ever.

If his name even turns up on a long-list of our targets I will thcream and thcream and thcream 'til I'm thick.

Funny but also sounds the most like Levy of the ITK we have had.

 

[sausage]

Says Tony Xia wants 40m for Grealish, or 100m for the club. hmmm...

 

[Dougal]

Not cheering for that Judas ****.

 

[HildoSpur]

He is nowhere near good enough. Nowhere near.

 

[DONOS10]

Surely this thread won't stay open, with the link being the worst possibly imaginable

 

[phillipjpalmer]

Would prefer maddison at Norwich.

 

[John48]

Would prefer maddison at Norwich.

Personally I wouldn't want either, both overhyped in my view. Champ is their level & they would both struggle in the Prem.

 

[Metalhead]

The cryptic from The Goat, someone came up with Grealish. These sites save the so called journos hours in actual work, so they can spend more time in the pub.

I'm laughing at that but it's probably true.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Not sure what he brings to the party.. Not quick, strong, athletic or a prolific creator of goals.. He'll be chewed up by City, Utd and Liverpool's midfield.. wide berth please

 

[thinktank]

lolz

 

[absolute bobbins]

Is the Star (or any Desmond paper) considered a valid source?
