Foden , Kane and to a degree Mount was all about me me me , England would have had 5 or 6 had those 3 been less selfish TBH, Southgate has created that atmosphere with the team. He has been telling the players, through the media, that they need to be outstanding every game or they'll be dropped for one of the others on the bench.

penguin Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Think I’d die a little inside if he went to City. Hopefully they sign Messi on a stupid contract in terms of salary and length in Jan and **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a lot more disappointed if he said he wanted to leave Villa for ANY team, at ANY price. Just once in my life I want to see a world-class one club man at the Villa. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The Grealish + Douglas Luiz to City rumours are horse shit. Lazy journalism 101. They'll definitely enquire about, and maybe buy, Douglas Luiz (but that's been obvious ever since he arrived...) and Grealish will be on every top club's radar. Beyond that, there's no real reason for Villa to allow it to happen. Whatever City are prepared to pay will be less than his spiritual, footballing, and financial value to this football club. If he was desperate to leave we'd know about it by now. It'll be around age 28 where if we've hit a ceiling, then I think he might seriously consider going somewhere for silverware. I doubt money is the issue, because we'll keep increasing his wages and he'll soon start making a fortune from his marketability as an England international and YouTube fanboi favourite. Trophies are the only thing he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The more I watch Grealish for England, the more I think he’s definitely a no.10. If we had good wingers, we’d be deadly with Grealish behind Watkins. He’s good on the left wing by virtue of being one of the best players in the world, not because it’s his natural position. With Barkley here, he isn’t going to play that role, which is fine, but if he went to a team like Man City/Liverpool, I don’t think he’d be playing on the left. Not a chance. Superb player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at a certain level (Grealish, Messi, Pele) positions become irrelevant when you have the ball. It is more about where we want him when we don’t have it. When we do he will rightly go where he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb player. 100% this. That’s what I was hoping for last summer, but no complaints with him left and Barkley in the middle. If he doesn’t stay after the summer then I’d love to see Jack play 10 for us. If Southgate is going to get Kane, Rashford, Sterling & Jack on the pitch then I think that’s where he has to play for England in the Euros.

If you told Sid to put the ball on a sixpence he would ask if you wanted the Rose, Thistle, Leek or Shamrock.

The single, most imprinted, most clear, most gobsmacking memory I have of a moment in a game is exactly that. Stoke away, early 80s, midweek, Victoria ground, glistening wet pitch, Sid, a long pass down the line, backspin, perfect, impossible for a mortal. I think we won 1-0. How did he do that? Genius, that’s how, just pure natural talent. 11 or 12 thousand people saw it, but I can still remember the ball coming towards me, behind the goal and defying physics. I made it back to the pub before closing time, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Only 10 caps for England which was a disgrace when you think of the average players around at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
