i came to the opinion five pints in last night that Villa and Upper Championship are about the same level as the portugese league or lower liga/seria A.

So if you had a 22 yr old portugese, Spanish or Italian kid at 22 ripping up the portguese league (young player of the season) we would be squirting man-helmans all over the player.

think of him as Jaques Grealisho and suddenly he's a must buy fan fave
1) Championship is decidedly not the same level as the serie A or la liga or even their bottom table clubs.
2) Jack Grealish was hardly ripping up the Championship.
3) Jack Grealish did nothing in his 30+ PL games.

Is this worth a punt at say 10-15m hoping to catch lightning? Yes. But thats about it.

Hopefully we can get this complete next few days so he can get integrated into the squad over next few weeks. With World Cup players there's possibility we might need him to start the first game of the season.
I really like this signing, confident he's going to surprise a lot of people.

Over at the Villa forum they say that he has style similar to Modric and that he could be playing for Real in a couple of years. He's probably good, but I think they're overestimating him...

1. You don't watch the Championship, you live in the US.
2. You don't watch the Championship, you live in the US.
3. You didn't watch Aston Villa games, stop acting tough.

To be fair we are a lot of people watching the championship that do not live in England
