Never understand this opinion when he plays in the same position as Benrahma. I'd assume the idea, exactly the same as if we got Benrahma, would be to play Grealish at behind the strikers.

Sorry I meant play him where we have payed him in that 3 man midfield all of last championship year and all of last year up until realising our wingers are hopeless. I'm inclined to agree with you and think he does play better out wide. Cannot be going in for a left winger then, Benrahma is not a RW and we need to stop signing players to move them onto their less natural side. Buendia seems to make much more sense in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lawyers and accountants will find the ambiguity and as usual get away with it. The PL and FFP rules are designed with loopholes to keep the rich richer and the large in charge. It's like that camp guy on the TV in the 80s who kept saying "chase me". He wasn't serious about getting away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia seems to make much more sense in that case If Grealish does well in a 3 man central midfield role with McGinn and Luiz, by all means play him there. I think however it's weird to remove him from his roaming left wing role when he; 1) was one of the league's best players there 2) Didn't impress in the central midfield role 3) our midfield is weak as piss. McGinn, Jack and Luiz is way to soft for my liking. We need more steel in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there many people actually ITK. Football operations are so slick now the chances of finding out until a deal has happened is fairly low most of the time.

It comes from someone that has told me who I have no reason to doubt. Without going too off topic, this is probably more for the Grealish thread.

Although I think he has the work rate & tackling ability to play in that Hourihane role and could be just as good there. Preferably though I'd be getting a CM to replace Hourihane, but has to be a set piece specialist as Hourihane is realistically the only set piece taker we have. I would also want Villa to get away from relying on Grealish, as we are currently 1 injury/him leaving away from relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
