Something tells me that you might be the ex villa staff guy on twitter....

There is no conspiracy, Southgate doesn't know where/if Grealish can fit into his team.

Mings is also getting caps so it isn't anti-Villa.

Yeah its clearly not an anti-villa thing. My hang up is that Southgate knows Jack wants to play in the middle for England, but isn't brave enough to pick him there even though he's clearly a level above the likes of Ward-Prowse and Mount etc. As many have said before, England are very 'samey' and have no creativity through the middle which is exactly why people have been clamouring for a middle pairing of Grealish and Foden for a while now. Sit a DCM in behind those two and jobs a goodun. 

Southgate on the other hand wants to select 5 DCM's......

What is Southgate’s England philosophy? To be unsuccessful?

Apparently it's to follow the mantra of being a hypocritical FA-pocketed sword swallower.

Even if It can or can't happen (I don't know) he's never going to re declare for Ireland now, it would be a terrible look for him no matter how many times Southgate takes the piss. 

I do agree though that he would've been better staying put with Ireland though instead of this absolute farce of an England setup. He'd have god knows how many caps for them by now and be the main man. Shame really. 

To be fair to Jack, he backed himself and would have hardly known that he would have had to face up to the biggest sack of piss that has ever managed a national football side in not being selected for so long...

I did say I'd read an article a while ago not that I'd read one since Rice got called up. 

There's clearly a reason Southgate isn't picking Grealish and it's one that he's not willing to make public, he's a shit bloke, he could easily have him in the squad and not select him so he's making a statement by not picking him. I imagine Grealish, Villa and other England players know what that statement is. 

Fixed this one for you fella

His stats could be on par with Winks and have 0 goals or assists or even sit on the bench most of the season

So literally Harry Winks' 2019/20 season?

To be fair i've just seen the squad, and if i'm honest, it's hard for me to see who could realistically be dropped from the Forwards or midfielders for Jack.

Aside from maybe Foden?

I don't know enough about Ward - Prowse or Rice to pass judgement.

Southgate in the past has acknowledged that Jack could be picked as both a winger and an AMF. 

Now, fair enough as a winger he's going up against Sterling, Hudson-Odoi, Sancho etc. so you could make an argument as to how he hasn't been picked (especially given the preferred system that Southgate employs being two quick wingers and one upfront). 

However, to say that he wouldn't be getting ahead of James Ward-Prowse, Mason Mount and fking HARRY I'VE DONE EXACTLY NOTHING THIS SEASON WINKS is totally comical. The guys a clown and I hope he gets himself sacked before the Euro's...

Could you please provide a link to the interview please if you have one mate.

I find it incredible the thread has gone into a meltdown because Grealish hasn't been picked for a meaningless England friendly.

I would agree with the who negativity had this been the Euro2021 squad that had just been announced!

 

Because if you listen to Southgates interview at the squad announcement he clearly states that now is the time for the new players to be bedding in for Euro 2021.

There are very few chances between then and now for Grealish to "impress" enough to be on that plane.

Just rubbing it in his face, especially with the hypocritical shit hes come out with over the last 18 months surrounding Jack. 

I consider Gareth Southgate and a shit on the floor equals now....

unfortunately this thread has its own gravitational pull which gets stronger the longer it goes on, similar to a collapse of star and the eventual black hole, you try to pull away but just end up closer to it

Can we rename this thread Gargantua please?

The wage structure needs to be altered in order to progress. In that I mean we need to pay bigger wages in order to attract better players. Money spent normally correlates to improved performance. However, it needs to be done smartly - not 'Arry type spending.

Yeah, probably stray away from awarding each player £1m for winning the F.A cup and other performance related bus-accidents...

No one knows, which makes 170 pages of total guff even more ridiculous.

I’ll be honest and if SJM came on here and said there was no offer from Celtic that had been accepted by Hibs you would accept it either.

Yes, I would accept it. Do you know why? Because it's his life and we was actually there. 

You on the other hand have successfully shown everyone that you cannot accept defeat when it stares you down and have derailed this thread.

You need to stop now. You're naking a fool of yourself and for what?

You have quotes saying that Celtic matched the bid and the decision is with the player. What did the player do?

So, to sum up. You said there's no way McGinn would choose Villa over Celtic if Celtic matched our bid. He did. And while we were in the Championship.

Sad indictment of Scottish football that an at the time mid table championship side has a bigger draw than a CL team that have been domestic champions for the last 21010230 years.

Absolutely. Also - phones do work in Scotland. I'm pretty sure they could have had follow up discussions, and even exchanged information. 

Some football fans are properly thick - "why are we signing kids; we need first teamers"; "just sign someone now or we'll be left behind"; "just pay whatever they are asking"

Edit - not aimed at anyone on this forum; more of a twitter thing. 

Mate, forget twitter, the fans on there are positively informed and rational compared to the utter thumb-pushing idiots on the Villa Facebook page.

Go have a read of some of the comments to their daily updates, it's both comical and depressing in equal measure.

Lovely pint of Chong to wash it down, followed by a raspberry Pavlenka for dessert 

If he's feeling like going big on the night, after dessert he could choose a short off the Toprak to finish...

The only thing I am learning from these player speculation threads is that Rayk is in individual battles with someone in each one
