Martinez, Watkins, Traore, Cash, Barkley (until he got injured). This season he's just been injured and we've ditched wide forwards I can and will deny.

Zatman Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Definitely better than the alternative that summer in Rashica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also per 90 stats, 0.5, 0.51 and 0.66. He was key for us last season in attack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rolta Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2022 Basically if you nailed your opinion to the mast before he signed that he was a bad signing you say he was a waste of money etc no matter the genuine joy he helped bring. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only binary, every player has to be either shit or brilliant. Judgement will be passed in the end one way or the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2022 One of my favourite goals we've scored in recent years was his goal against WBA. That finish was just sublime. I do quite like Bertie but it wont be a big loss to see him go, and if it means we can bring in an upgrade then why not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Both of these are fantastic. Great highlight player but sadly also very frustrating and uneven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps harsh, but we'll have to disagree. I think many many many other wingers could have been signed who would have had a successful time playing with Grealish absolutely flying. I bet most of them wouldn't be being bombed out on loan or for a cut fee two years later either. A player who would have succeeded in 2000, not the uber tactical 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the final third, he definitely does have a brain. Weight and choice of pass is often very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did once play a blind volleyed cross field pass across the face of my own penalty area during a Sunday league game, which led directly to the opposition scoring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great highlight player but sadly also very frustrating and uneven. I remember after the Bristol goal there was heated argument over whether he intended the shot or not. I wonder if he read that and said "hold my beer" and proceeded to score like 5 better goals that season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Absolute class. Ability oozing out of him. He's an absolute anomaly, most people seem to decide a player that's been on the sidelines a while is the answer to everything. He's the opposite, wonder why. I do think he looks like a giraffe on an ice rink 70% of the time but I think without that he wouldn't completely bamboozle whoever it is he's just megged and sat on the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he got a third of his goals and assists when Grealish was out injured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
