I wouldn't be against signing him. Looks useful as a squad player, but that's on very limited viewings.
If Grealish is expected to be Eriksen's replacement, then we need to look at his output - Eriksen has a 29% goal participation rate this season - which is not unusual for him. Jack has a 14% goal participation rate at Villa.He’s an excellent footballer. He’ll be as good as, and probably better than Maddison when he plays in the prem next year. We really need to get him.

That's quite a drop off as playmakers go.

Honestly, I know I might be weird, but I want him more than any other player we've been linked to, even Ndombele (well, maybe not Bale, but I don't count that as a real link).
Incredible talent, and importantly, an incredible mentality to match that talent. Listen to the Villa fans, and they'll tell you that he has literally carried Villa to the playoff final on his own back.
There's not a box he doesn't tick for me. In every single aspect he looks a Tottenham player, and one that would thrive here.
Fair enough. We get a reasonable number of Championship games on telly here, and Villa are often a team that's televised, so I've seen a bit of him, and he looks mustard every single time imo. I honestly think those that don't necessarily rate him would be surprised, and I honestly think he would be a starter here in the current diamond formation that Pochettino seems to favour.I’ve never really rated him but I have to admit he looked good and bossed the game tonight. He’d be good to add as a squad player but I’d hope for stronger options as starters.

Poor point you have to look at who he’s creating chances for good strikers equals more goals. I like him but do see him lose and overplay the ball at times. Still think he’d do well and think he would look up to kane etc and add to his maturity and gameIf Grealish is expected to be Eriksen's replacement, then we need to look at his output - Eriksen has a 29% goal participation rate this season - which is not unusual for him.

Plays much deeper than Eriksen, wouldn’t be his replacement different style of players
