samjp26 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Grealish was excited to be playing alongside Cole even in an U21 game, I think that kind of shows what the players in that age range think of him. As you say TRO, we have some decent ex-player backroom staff + some players with good experience and not just in midfield (Cole, Senderos). Having such figures in the dressing room can sometimes help even more than what they'll be doing on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 He really got a two year deal, I assumed it was one year. Think he might take up an MLS offer in the summer of those that were floating about last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yayoboy Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 His playing days are clearly almost over, but it wouldn't surprise me if we gave him his first experience of coaching, from interviews he seems to have a passion for the game still and would carry on in the background.

Demitri_C Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 dont count on it, he will drop a teabag on his toe and be out for 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It is absolutely mental how injury prone he is now. I wonder what exactly it is about him that makes him so prone to muscle strains etc? Darren Anderton mk2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 One of the crosses he did was pure class Still pretty much a highlights player at this stage of his career though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakid007 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Defo quality but doesn't have legs for 90mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He was good but Gil would probably have been even better. I do think Cole may have a role to play yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He was excellent when he came on to be honest. He created 2-3 chances that could have easily resulted in goals. He may not be able to start matches, but he is a great impact sub to have when a team is trying to bunker like QPR were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I like him - consummate professional and still has quite a lot of ability. Definitely useful to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arj Guy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Has more quality than any of our other midfielders. Shame he no longer has the physical attributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If he was fit for more of the season we wouldn't be where we are now. Sadly, that's the reason we were able to get him. Was absolutely blowing after 10 minutes to be fair to him, but was busting a gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 would rather he doenst play to be honest. looks dead after 5 minutes, would rather have gil who is full of energy and can create 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Let's hope we can keep him fit and injury-free until the end of the season. Would be a great bonus for the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A class above, yet still worked his bollocks off, put in tackles, won fouls, closed down space, and used every bit of experience to get us over that line. Worth every penny of whatever he has earned this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 yep he has the brain to see out games and him and Cleverley at corner flag was something I havent seen from Villa players in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
