He is one of these players that could go either way.. i.e become a top premier league player OR fizzle into a championship nobody. I'd say £20million is about right in this market, anything more and that is too much for a "maybe". He won't come much cheaper, unless with add-ons. Seeing him play, he has very good ability with the ball and can run with it and beat players with ease (at championship level, granted) His stats are admittedly not great, but the potential is there and most the experts can see and have said as much. I actually think his attitude might benefit him on the pitch and something we perhaps lack at times. He plays on the edge and I think is only likely to improve. He reminds me of a Dele Alli type in that sense. In saying that, Maddison would still be my choice over him, but I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if we signed Grealish. £15m upfront with add-ons to £20m would be realistic IMO.

Gray is an out and out winger. Grealish is a ACM/No.10 Only reason Gray has been tried in a no.10 a couple of times, is because we had no better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 1 hour ago, Genesis1 said: Would anybody take Grealish for the 'right' price or would you just not touch the guy.? I'd have him in a heartbeat purely from the highlights I've seen of him in the play offs against Middlesbrough and Fulham and reading the Villa fans view on him. There are plenty on Villa Talk who think £40m is nowhere near enough and he's a potential worldie and the best player Villa have had for decades. Whilst those views are no doubt exaggerated and biassed this is the general consensus of the vast majority of their fans. I've always believed that listening to fans who see a player week in week out is as good a metric to judge a potential signing by as any. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 I reckon Grealish and Maddison could be played in the same team, with JG as an inside forward. If we're going to play a more possession based game, craft and trickery are arguably more important than pace. They could both thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are fans on here who keep saying that Slimani would come good “if we played to his strengths”!! Imagine building a team around that !!! Fans are idiots. Myself included !!

STUHILL Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 May not have great stats in goals and assists but his dribbling, first touch/control and weight of pass, look fantastic in these clips. I think if the price is right, sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don' need another Dimmy Gray who shoots when there' a better option and passes when there is a shot on. Ofcourse, that CAN come with age but it requires the right mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
