Babylon Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 If he was called Geoff Smith and played for Barnsley, coming without the hype surrounding his name from his time in the prem, not a single person would suggest he's worth that.

KJT Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 Just read the Birmingham Mail, they reckon he can be loaned out to Leicester for one season at 3 million with us paying his wages and if Villa win promotion next year he can go back to them, if they don't they will have no option but to sell him. Apparently Villa need the money!

Leaving Villa only gaining £3million. No I think Villa will want do proper business.
Fightforever Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 if they are desperate for money then 10 million leave it or take it

Brum fans fuming from what I remember at going so cheap. £20 Million is about right IMO for Grealish in the current market. Don't forget last season Bournemouth bid £25 million for Gray! http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11743/11013430/bournemouth-fail-with-25m-bid-to-sign-demarai-gray-from-leicester Yeah but Gray had at least proved he could cut it in the Premier League as well as doing well for the England U21s when Bournemouth offered that amaount. JG has proved absolutely nothing. I could just sew him ending up in our development squad.

ARM1968 Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 Are we still talking about this cvnt? I wouldn’t pay £40 for him. He is the future of nothing except poisonous failure. 1

Stadt Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 (edited) Harvey Barnes' 2017/18 stats Apps: 18 (5) Minutes: 1408 Goals: 5 Assists: 4 Grealish's Apps: 22 (8) Mins: 2130 Goals: 3 Assists: 6 Edited 31 May 2018 by Wookie 1
Flannel_Fox Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 Not sure where all of this Grealish hate is coming from. He’d be a great addition to the team. He’s good at holding the ball which I think or midfield has been lacking. Young, English and will feel like he has a point to prove in the prem. Wouldn’t spend 40 mil on him though. 3

RoyFox Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 Key passes/90, dribbles/90, shots/90 are the metrics that matter when assessing attacking midfielders. 2017/18 Grealish Shots p/90 1.9 (Vardy 1.9, Mahrez 2) Key Passes/90 1.9 (Mahrez 1.6, Albrighton 1.4, Gray 0.8) Dribbles/90 2.6 (Mahrez 2.3, Albrighton 1.5) He’s more creative than Gray and Albrighton, plus he plays centrally which we don’t have. Just because he has been immature in the past and has a suspect barnet doesn’t make him a bad player. £25m for a 22 year old that can create more than anyone from a central position in our team, shouldn’t be scoffed at.
The whole world smiles Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 2 hours ago, Babylon said: He's got about 9 goals and 9 assists.... in his entire career! He's done sod all at premier league level. You can't compare to players who were sold in the premier league after actually playing ok in that division. Come on mate don't narrow the arguement it's not all about goals and assists and you know it. Oxlade Chamberlain only got 3 goals and 6 assists last year is he only worth 15 million as well? 1
