On the anti gravity section, you liken him to Mahrez and Vardy but that is an unfair comparison. Vardy and Mahrez spend most of their time on their feet to try and score. Grealish tried to engineer any contact to dive pretty much every time he got the ball yesterday. He seemed more interested in winning free kicks. Perhaps Bruce told him to but for me it disrupted Villa more than Fulham. The one time he actually did stay on his feet he nearly scored. He’s got great technique but someone needs to take him aside and tell him to cut it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent watched much of him so can’t comment if this is usual behaviour but Riyad goes down in the midfield whenever he feels there is nothing to be gained by staying on his feet. Imo, I didn’t see a particular dive or failing to stay on his feet when doing so would benefit the team. Whether he is good enough to do it in the prem I wouldn’t know but if we laid out £25m for him then I wouldn’t see it a particularly poor investment.

simpmeister Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 I would take Grealish. Yes he still has flaws in his game and isn't at peak maturity, but the lad certainly has ability and can make defenders look daft sometimes in the way that Riyad does. I also like the fact he has a fiery element to his game. He just needs to obviously learn to channel this in the right way. We are screaming out for a number 10 and based on all of the games I have seen him play in, I would be happy for us to take a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 7 hours ago, Albert said: A 22yrs old that’s made 90 appearances for Villa, already played 1 full season in the Prem & has U21 England international caps is hardly shit & to judge him as being a nob from a 30sec interview is quite embarrassing. Dread to think what you thought of Vardy when he first did interviews with us! Reading some of the other posts on here also it seems people are judging the lad because of a few publicised drunken mistakes he made since coming onto the scene. Give the lad a break! Yes he made mistakes but that’s inevitable when you’re 18yrs old on 10k a week! He’s a massive English talent with enormous potential which I think would be a fantastic signing & add to the young talent we already have Fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 (edited) People actually want grelish but wouldn't take roberts. Crazy absolute madness. I'm not saying grelish is a bad player far from it but everytime I've seen him play it's about him and not his team. We have gray for that and gray is a much better player. I'd prefer we went for a established CAM. Look at this way.

Heymister2015 Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 Yeah we can’t say as a club we want top 6 and then sign grealish, Maddison and roberts. We need established players such as moussa dembele to mentor Ndidi and schurrle/Ben arfa to show diabate and gray how it’s done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Weller Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 He was the stand out player for me yesterday. Really creative and influential. As as for the attitude problem- Vardy was tagged as a youngster and he’s had some shocking haircuts. We shouldn’t rule him out that alone. Can’t compare him to Roberts because I’ve not seen him but why both and Gray as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 With the parachute payments finished now, Villa need to sell. He won't be anywhere near £45milion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 27 May 2018 Share Posted 27 May 2018 Villa need to decide if they keep a few players or keep grealish to get promotion, Bruce may decide to play the short game rather then the long one. (I mean timewise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa do need to sell and the world and his dog know any Bruce valuations of £45m for a young player who has performed well but not spectacularly in the Championship is nothing more than posturing. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/05/25/aston-villa-facing-financial-disaster-fail-make-premier-league/amp/?__twitter_impression=true I wouldn't be averse to getting him but we seem to be buying the same player for our three players behind Vardy, they're all young and talented but are mostly developing rather than the finished article. We have Gray, Iheanacho, Diabate and Barnes here already and linked with Grealish, Maddison and Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to see him still on the pitch, the yellow card should have been a straight red. All his team mates came to defend him but overlooking his reckless actions in the long run does him no favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
