Jack Grealish

and we all know Sherwood will take the applause for findin him. Cue the Sky Sports 'I gave him his break at Villa, and we scouted him at Spurs' drivel

 

[wrd]

calm down mate, she doesnt really like my lad anyway so is pretty unlikely to tell him, especially as he hates villa

I wasn't slating your lad, he had everyright to ask the question and you gave us the information in good faith, I was more irritated by the reaction of, well that's that case closed.

I find it strange that at JG's age and development he would choose to come to us. General feeling is he would be cover and play a few cup matches would that really appeal? He would be much better off going somewhere mid table Leicester/Newcastle/WestHam etc and get regular games and build proper PL experience. Its not as if he will get more money playing for us than others.

Even I once saw him play at Wembley...

Thats just the feeling of some posters on here, who probably had very similar views on Dele Alli when we signed him. Poch might well see it differently and be giving the kid reason to believe he'll get plenty of minutes across both domestic and European competition. If we have another good year we'll play 50+ games. One injury to Eriksen, or a problem with Winks' recovery and Grealish would have every chance of starting 25-30 of those.

If he were to come it wouldn't be that much of a surprise, he's seen what Poch did for Dele & Tripp's, plus a good % of those in the Eng squad have been coached by Poch at some stage.

Personally, I don't think he's worth a punt, he's got too many issues for me, but if Poch wants him, so be it.

The interesting thing for me is the difference in reactions between Grealish & Sessengnon - both talented youngsters, only one has actually played any premier league minutes though

Have I wandered into the GCSE thread?

Having lived throughout the dark days of the Keegan perm I think I can cope with his hair... i’d Not be against him getting a squad place to see if he can turn the talent into something extra.

I feel like most of the people moaning about his hair are probably bald/balding

What are the issues? Please do tell.

Grealish was always considered a top talent and his only flaw was his attitude off the pitch - which looks to be a thing of the past.

Really no reason to moan about that signing - a young talented english eriksen back up... for a cut price deal

We are still in for other signings that will propably be a bit more shiny - i know we've been there before but its early june and ITK suggested we could get 2 in before end of next week

 

[freeeki]

I did some GCSEs once.

He's signing.

I always like Whoscored it's reliable indicator of player ability and traits; looks like he has too many weaknesses for me.

This reads like a SpursKing scouting report, with the omission of “weak African heritage”.

Maybe he rates the manager.....
