sir_gary_cahill Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Been selected for England u16 trials next month despite being only 14, he's a great talent, plays left wing, he was regular in our u16s last season when he was an u14. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villacrossthemersey Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Is he any relation of Tony Grealish (ex Baggies and Brighton?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bully Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 He learned his trade playing gaelic football for my club John Mitchels here in brum. A mighty young player who my club are extremely proud of. Good luck Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I look forward to seeing him play. Who is he like? I'd say Adam Johnson is a good comparison but Grealish has far more technical ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2010 Let's hope he gets some growing done then. He sounds a good find, hopefully he'll be up in the academy team before too long. Seems a strange decision to move from Ireland U14 and U15 to England U16, perhaps he watched the world cup and felt he had a good chance of playing sooner rather than later.

villianusa Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Think I found him on FB if someone wishes to invite him to the forums; saying that he might already be here. Good to here another Villa youngster coming through the ranks. Hope to see him in the first team in a few years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches were going to put him in at the back end of last season but he got injured. I don't think he ever had any intention of playing for Ireland, he played for them in a one-off tournament after the season had finished purely because of his love for the game.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hope he can make it. Too early of course to say anything but good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I look forward to seeing him play. Who is he like? I'd say Adam Johnson is a good comparison but Grealish has far more technical ability A 14 year old has more technical ability than Adam Johnson? I await this Messi/Van Basten/Xavi hybrid.
