Both technically exquisite and are the heartbeat of their sides. Both glide across the pitch and pop up with goals. Take either out and the team is instantly weaker. Strangely I've somehow never seen an awful lot of Reus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Jack now is a CAM, yes he can play more centrally but his attack game and his management of the ball in the final third is as good as anyone’s right now. we need a lineup which means he doesn’t need to track back as much defensively and ideally move the ball so that he isn’t running back to collect off Mings etc all the time. Bournemouth will be scared of him on the ball in the last third. not sure why he isn’t taking many free kicks either, surely has that in his locker.

Factors like that make a difference in relation to transfer prices. And he would probably be valued less going to Barcelona as he's English. It's just my opinion but if a PL team bid for him his price tag would probably be higher than if Barca bid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an exaggeration but for all Everton paid for him he has a huge shots tally to score goals. He's getting better but blanked for 16 game stretch with Watford then similar first season with Everton and still had good tallies but.... goals per £££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could offer £250 million and I'd tell them to **** off, before I sent them a Villa shirt with Grealish's name on the back. You can still make bargain signings for little money, but they are few and far between. The type of valuations you see from rubbish players like Wesley and Joelinton have set a standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I couldn't imagine looking out of place in any side in the world, more than that, I think he'd shine in any side. Not just his skill level but his work ethic and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would however take Richarlsion over our wide options at the minute. I don't think he's better than Grealish - I just think he would be valued higher. He has 6 goals in 19 apps for Brazil (disclaimer: wikipedia) and of course they could have come in games vs. Bolivia or Venezuela but Jack has a bit to go to reach this and Richarlison is also younger I think. Everton could point to that when asking Barca to stump up the cash where as we could say "Jack should be in the England team but Gareth's a bit of a clown and thinks Ross Barkley is better - I mean nobody can legislate for that shit". Anyway I hope he nevers goes anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted January 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2020 I hope he is never sold, but if he goes I want some stupid amount in return! It's just a matter of being given a chance to prove himself on the international stage. After that he will only be realistically available to the clubs who dont care about money! It would be madness to consider a sale before he reaches those heights....or hopefully not even then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'm terrified of him having some silly release clause. When he signed that new contract the club was in terrible negotiation position and him and his agent would have gotten anything they asked for. His love of Villa kept him here and he would want the club to get paid, but at that point in time he'd have also wanted an realistic out and the prices for transfers since then has rocketed. If there is a fixed sum (fingers crossed there isn't) then it will likely be less than half of what he should fetch now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the worry has to be tempered by Guardiola's comments a few months back when he suggested it would be too expensive to sign him.

Kiwivillan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Kevin Phillips gave the most common sense opinion recently in an article that with the stability of the new owners he wouldn't put it past Grealish doing another season in the Championship "... he loves the club that much." I don't think we'll have to worry about that. I think we'll be fine and kick on next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yeah I seem to remember there being reports of a release clause when he signed the new contract. Gone quiet on that front though and surely someone would have triggered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
