You dont sell the heart and soul of Aston Villa for £120mill. The chances of having a player with Grealish's talent must be like 1 in a million, the chances of having a player with that talent who loves the club like he does.. 1 in a billion? NSWE will see it that way and at this moment is there a more ambitious Club in world football than Aston Villa? Even the rest of the football world (who never usually notice villa) are starting to say wtf at what they are doing. We are basically building a whole team around Jack, like the chicago bulls with Michael Jordan. What is 120mill anyway? ... Already with the final 10 game promotion run when we came up, and him keeping us up at times by himself in the first prem season Grealish has arguably made this club 100s of millions (as without him those things dont happen) and thats not looking at the upside of what could happen in the next few years.

and hes starting. Although him playing the team for next week was way off base.

If Southgate wants him as a starter next week he has to start tonight no? (even if it means taking him off after 60/70). You'd want to be playing your first 11 for Croatia tonight i would of thought.

Him being so good at freekicks seems to detract from the fact he's a brilliant all round footballer. To be fair even Beckham got that so its not much of a knock on Ward Prowse. I used to be in the same boat but last couple of seasons when i've watched him i thought he was quality. He surprises me with how good he is winning the ball. 9 goals and 7 assists for a player who puts in the defensive shift he does is not to be sniffed at and he's be a massive upgrade on what we have. Is a bit of bastard too which i like. I dont think we'd get him for 30mill but i also dont think its a Jack scenario. He's a pompey fan so its just another case of a long serving academy player taking a step up in his career. No different to Gareth Barry with us a few years ago.

Grealish, "we're shit at freekicks". NSWE.."heres 35 mill for Ward Prowse".

A cup of tea. Open new tab.. pinkun, open another new tab on twitter... #Afc. Evening sorted.

Reminds me of when we signed Matt Targett from Southampton who loads of fans didnt want partly cos he was Matt Targett from Southampton and partly cos he looks like a Quinten Blake illustration.

Hes not Brazillian and doesnt have a fancy name. Its a no from me.

Azpilicueta is a cheating bastard and was laying on plenty of snide ones on Grealish at the Bridge at Xmas. Hes always trying to get players booked and sent off so good to see him he get done over.

Chilwell is playing like a striker at times. Definitely targeting the left hand side

Fair play to Traore hes put himself about today

He'll be fine, it always takes him a couple games to get back to his best after a break, even when its non injury related. Anyway, I dont think he looked off it, Palace were just all over us and heads had gone. It was the same second half at their place last season. We are f**kin useless at Selhurst park.

You can throw as many goals and assist stats at me as you like, you cant afford to have a player like him in the premier league. Too weak, too slow and gives the ball away constantly. We just get constantly targetted and overran down the righthand side now which not only costs us defensively but offensively too as it keeps the ball away from our most effective players on the other side of the pitch.

Same person who voted for manager very good and Ramsey MOTM. Its gotta be!

Ramsey is Andre Green mk2. He isnt a prem player. The praise hes had so far just make believe and people wanting him to be a success. It was the same with Green.

Soneone tell this prick of a commentator we've scored 3 at Selhurst park against Wimbledon

He was flat footed for a couple of those though. I badly want to be impressed by him but the game's just pass him by.

Traore wtf

Hause came in against Burnley at home and they looked clueless cos they couldnt get anything off the long ball. Palace play it on the ground a bit more but Hause should nullify Bentekes aerial threat, dont think Benteke has much else about him these days

Hoping today to see what all the fuss is about with Ramsey, not necessarily by him having a great game just would like to see him get himself on the ball, be more confident and look to threaten the opposition more.

MOTM Traore for me

Needs another 100 mill thrown at it in the summer

Just want the season to end

Never a red

Traore is pathetic
