Chukwuemeka is something else
-
The links are too constant - he’ll be leaving Norwich. Imagine they will want to get it done early in the window so they have time to reinvest the funds. Would be a big statement of intent to beat out Arsenal, et al for his signature. Would give us statistically one of the most threatening attacks in the prem.
-
The best clubs in the league have the squad depth to rotate. If we are to ever make Europe consistently we really need two full XI of top flight quality players. It’s good that we have a wave of talented youth coming in, it should speed up that process.
-
No surprise he’s also a top shelf defensive option in the RB slot. A nightmare for attackers to try to dribble around.
-
Jack’s movement at the 10 compared to what we’ve had the last months, it’s like watching an entirely different sport. Takes all the pressure off our backline/McGinn/Nakamba due to his first touch. They can pass the ball to him in positions that we just couldn’t do with Barkley/Ramsey. It opens up everything and gives McGinn space to distribute via the long ball or dribble into space.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
Paulie replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
Maybe, just maybe, Jack’s ambitions are different than what the public tries to claim they are or claim they should be? Maybe making Europe with Villa, finishing top 4, winning silverware just once as captain here means more to him than playing champions league in another kit ever would? -
Arrascaeta would be a phenomenal purchase. You want to talk about bringing in another creative force to take the pressure off Jack... the guy is loved at Flamengo and is a magician. Bicycle kicks, megs, incredible ball control, distribution, and finishing.
-
Turned his back away from the block that should have prevented the second goal. Let us down today.
-
Out of favor... I just have a gut feeling he’s coming.
-
Yep. Assuming investment and we stay relatively healthy, I’d think we’d all be happy with 55-60 points. Anything above that is a legitimate challenger for top 4, anything below that is a similar season to this. bringing in another creative distributor to take that pressure off jack is so important.
-
He’d be an incredible super sub option. Needs to be rotated, he may have the endurance to go a full 90 but he isn’t in good enough shape to do it at this level, he loses the extra gear around the 65 minute mark. Hat tip to him he keeps huffing and puffing around and that’s enough in the championship, but against top half sides he drops off the pace. Would be good for him to get with whoever is training Targett. Maybe lay off the cheps.
-
It’s hard to not get excited about what Dean could do with our lineup if we brought in a CDM like Bissouma, a creative RW/10 like Buendia, and another finisher like Tammy. Tons of interesting 4-3-3 or 4-2-2-2 configurations that we could roll out. Imagine what Tammy/Ollie could do with Jack and Buendia serving up chances on a platter.
-
Jim Beglin called him Ollie The Worker during the broadcast, and there really isn’t a better way to describe him. Could make a great song out of that nickname
-
Ironic that even in the midst of this rough run of form without our 100m pound forward and captain, Smith still has us set up in a way where we are performing in a style producing mid table expected points.
-
I don’t think asking posters to justify a negative stance is calling people out. All I see in this thread from negative posters is a disassociation from reality.
-
If Klopp went to Liverpool when they were mid table in the championship, brought them back up to the premier league in half a season, then kept them up the next, and then had them mid table the year after without Salah for a quarter of the season would they be calling for his head?
-
Pretty much nailed on
-
VillaTalk has lost the plot.
-
anyone complaining about our performance this match... tactics were spot on.
-
The amount of panic and hyperbole in this thread is disgraceful
-
I don’t think the Glazers give a single shit about what Fergie thinks
-
No data driven org, which we are now, would ever purchase this version of Ross Barkley
-
I think our priority should be strengthening our depth in the defensive area of the park. LB, RB, one CB. Replacing Taylor elmo and Engels. I think we are fine in the middle of the park with Luiz, McGinn, Samson, Nakamba, Ramsey all offering something different, and Jack can cover there as well... plus with carney on the way. I think we splurge again up top, and based on how Dean has us set up I see it being a hybrid forward type, similar to Ollie and Bert... one that can interchange between the front three positions.
-
1 progressive pass out of 48 passes from your #10 absolutely kills you.
-
This comes off as Dean being sensitive to his players psyche more than anything else.
