As long as you keep the nucleus of a good squad together that's the main thing. And what's to say we'd come straight down anyway? We can sign Abraham and Tuanzebe, Grealish would stay. We'd lose those 3 and probably McGinn too if we don't go up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Grealish will be allowed to leave in the summer. He will hand in a transfer request if he isn’t allowed to leave. Quote this in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish literally transforms our team to the point even players like Hourihane look good. He’s a cracking talent and I doubt we’ll be accepting anything less than 30m for him in the summer. With players like Jedinak, Taylor, Whelan etc. off the books in the summer, it will free up money to give to Jack. That and the massive Adidas kit deal we’ll no doubt be signing. With regards to FFP, I genuinely don’t understand how we’re not in serious trouble with it already. We have obviously found a loophole or paid someone off so I’m certainly not worried about that being the stumbling block in keeping him. OK so as facts & stats are apparently all meaningless. Let's see what happens when opinion is considered. Given that he "literally transforms our team" Surely he is man of the match every week, or at least close. Now i'm not talking about some corporate shite here, Who better to judge than you, the Villatalk faithfull. So here we go..... All of the figures below are taken from the ratings & reactions threads on this very forum. Now as a goalscorer will usually get a high proportion of the votes i have also included where you voted him each game in relation to every single player that received votes for that match. Where 2/3 & even 4 players have received the same number of votes i have placed him the highest possible. Hull : Total Votes=154 Grealish Votes=12 Position of all players voted for: Joint 3rd/10 Wigan : Total Votes=159 Grealish Votes=8 Position of all players voted for: 3/5 Ipswich : Total Votes=81 Grealish Votes=12 Position of all players voted for: 2/9 Brentford : Total Votes=184 Grealish Votes=7 Position of all players voted for: 3/10 Reading : Total Votes=91 Grealish Votes=2 Position of all players voted for: Joint 8/11 Sheff Utd : Total Votes=99 Grealish Votes=7 Position of all players voted for: 3/12 Blackburn : Total Votes=103 Grealish Votes=1 Position of all players voted for: Joint 7/8 Rotherham : Total Votes=124 Grealish Votes=4 Position of all players voted for: Joint 7/11 Sheff Wed : Total Votes=126 Grealish Votes=3 Position of all players voted for: Joint 4/9 Bristol City : Total Votes=78 Grealish Votes=3 Position of all players voted for: Joint 2/6 Preston : Total Votes=119 Grealish Votes=5 Position of all players voted for: Joint 8/13 Millwall : Total Votes=60 Grealish Votes=4 Position of all players voted for: 6/12 Swansea : Total Votes=174 Grealish Votes=1 Position of all players voted for: joint 7/9 Norwich : Total Votes=123 Grealish Votes=12 Position of all players voted for: 2/9 QPR : Total Votes=97 Grealish Votes=45 Position of all players voted for: 1/8 *MOTM Bolton : Total Votes=148 Grealish Votes=32 Position of all players voted for: 2/11 Derby : Total Votes=153 Grealish Votes=3 Position of all players voted for: Joint 5/10 B'Ham : Total Votes=213 Grealish Votes=26 Position of all players voted for: 3/11 N.Forest : Total Votes=159 Grealish Votes=2 Position of all players voted for: 4/5 Boro : Total Votes=181 Grealish Votes=10 Position of all players voted for: Joint 5/11 W.Brom : Total Votes=165 Grealish Votes=0 Position of all players voted for: No Votes Received That gives a total of 199/2791 or 7.13% of all votes cast. That is a grand total of 1 MOTM you have voted for, 4 second place & 5 third place. in 21 games, You the people have not even voted for him being one of the best 3 players in our team in 11 of the games. Only 4 times has he received more than 10% of the vote, Surely our best player who is apparently vital to every bit of our success should be standing out more than this. Like i said, he has had about 5 decent games and rather strangely it seems that most people agree. Guess he can cancel the plans to bottle his ball sweat now as there will not be as many takers as first thought.

Like i said, he has had about 5 decent games and rather strangely it seems that most people agree. Guess he can cancel the plans to bottle his ball sweat now as there will not be as many takers as first thought. does he not make other players play better? Couldn't you take overall player ratings when Grealish isn't playing and see that the average player rating has gone down? Or that the number of actual votes for man of the match is down by a huge percentage because when Grealish isn't playing we don't win and when we don't win there are fewer players worth voting for, or the player voted for is stupidly unanimous because the rest of the team is so sh*te. I don't have these stats, but it's surprising what you can dig up to make a point. I agree though he doesn't score as much as he should or get the assists he should, but he draws defenders to him, pulls teams out of shape, we get a huge number of free kicks because of him being fouled - some of those we score from. He must up our possession stats, so reduces the time the opposition can attack us, he gets into space and plays in a lot of other players allowing the likes of McGinn and others to play more useful football? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he does do everything that you say he does and I think Jack is an awesome player but I believe that we rely far to heavily on him. I think that once he goes in the summer it'll benefit both parties and Jack can go on and develop his career. Thanks for everything JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those vote numbers are only for the 21 games he has started, so he played in all of them. No point judging him in games he hasn't played through injury. He played the full 90 minutes in 16 of them, was subbed off in the 83rd minute vs hull & swansea, 90th minute bolton, 87th minute WBA & 46th minute reading Edited February 11, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxahunter Posted February 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2019 The problem is we dont have any players similar to Jack, in case he is out. We dont have that many players taking on the opposition from midfield, instead they are trying to pass leaving our attackers with to mant defenders to handle by themselves. We need midfielders who dare to take the long and deep runs from midfield through the holes in the opponets defence pulling them from each other and leaving them with more people to handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
