Of course, in the same way we adore Vardy, but if he played for anyone else we’d bloody hate him. Every single club has players who are adored by their own fans but hated by everyone else, it’s part of football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at the betting odds Leicester have been 2.5 most of the week and have no come into 2.3. That could be consistent with what you've said about Grealish being out or might just be a market move for no other reason than people think we're overpriced. A good sign though.

Popular Post UpTheLeagueFox Posted 21 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 February 2021 5 hours ago, Ecdysiast said: I don't know why really, but I find something about Grealish completely repulsive. He's a more than decent footballer but i think he belongs in another thread... "Absolute Cnuts of our Time". He makes my flesh crawl for some reason 5 hours ago, Aus Fox said: I agree, something about him and the way he talks makes me think he’s Mark Draper levels of thick. No doubt he’s a quality player, but not sure he’s very bright - I could be completely wrong on this and it’s not really based on anything other than the way he speaks. 2 hours ago, FoyleFox said: Unfortunately, I think you're right. Absolutely can't deny his footballing ability but he's an objectionable little $hite. Mentioned this before but worth sharing again for some balance. I went to interview Grealish at Villa's training ground about 18 months ago for talkSPORT. He had a stack of pieces to do with various media outlets. I was the last in the line of broadcasters. Grealish spent time chatting happily with reporters, camera crew etc during changeover bits and even when it came to the final interview he was chilled and relaxed and helpful. Even took time afterwards to record a video message for a young fan of his. He came across as very humble, warm, genuine, approachable etc - we even had an off record natter about Ibiza and DJing and stuff. I know this doesn't fit with the diving narrative or his off field misdemeanours but he couldn't have been more amenable. PS Obviously I hope he doesn't play or doesn't play well against us and I'd sign him in a heart beat - not that he'd come to us, not enough of a step up from Villa, whatever we may think. 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ed Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 (edited) I like Nacho but he needs attackers making runs ahead of him. So I'd be tempted to play Barnes centrally and Madison on the left Edited 21 February 2021 by Blue Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he is too, top player. He would start at any club. The abuse he gets is because he is a brilliant player in a tribal game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Grealish is a far better player than Maddison, that's a fact on current form. This is a tough game today, they'll cause us problems for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Grealish has taken his game to another level, but it took him several years to get there. He's very, very good and is more of a constant threat in games than Maddison but I actually think Maddison is becoming more of a big game player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 I know all teams feel pretty reliant on one star player, but Leicester & Villa are massive examples of that. If Grealish is fit I think I’d take A point, but if he doesn’t - anything other than a win feels like a waste to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Im working with a load of Villa fans at the minute so we have to win this ! They seem pretty confident but say we are flying so it will be tough for them should be a good game lets hope we can WIN IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddsion in the Prem 22 games 7 goals 5 assists Grelsih in the Prem 22 games 6 goals 10 assists He is defiently not a far better player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Madderz has more potential, but Grealish is more consistent right now - (esp. looking at his assists).

Chocolate Teapot Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Appears to be no noise on Grealish, other than a few 'ITK's' on twitter. See that Samuel Martin FPL reckons it's confirmed he's not playing. Will believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear - Thanks for your anecdote. I'm always happy to be proved wrong if somone's trying their best to be a decent human. Maybe it's the name, maybe it's the hair, maybe it's the team, maybe it's just irrational jealously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the insight @UpTheLeagueFox, We k sure he is a lovely bloke, and certainly a great footballer, would you say he was an intelligent person? He just always reminds me in the way he speaks of Mark Draper, who was well not the sharpest tool in the shed. Never did get his move to Italian giants Barcelona did he.

TrentFox Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 The Grealish-Maddison debate ..... add Foden and Mount in there, with some steel, and that’s one heck of a midfield at Southgate’s disposal. Not that he’ll ever find a way to get them all on the pitch at the same time, same as Roy couldn’t get Kane and Vardy - England’s two best match-winners - into the same team 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
