villa4europe Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well I reckon a player ought to have achieved something at the top level before being squabbled over by national team coaches. For all his buckets of ability he's not really achieved a great deal just yet.ticks just about every england player box going then...would love to see him give lallana a run for his money, 15 caps and done just about **** alljumping the gun i think jack's success with england will depend on where roy and the future managers see ross barkley playing, the diamond is in and its working so i can see that changing, do they see barkley as the back up for the number 10 role? (they obviously dont see him as a starter yet, 3 starts in 2 years, all in games vs shit teams) or see him dropping deeper, i think there is potentially a role for him there already, like i said i dont rate lallana or think he's done anything of merit yet for england and sterling can be pushed wide or further up, if he's up against sterling, lallana and barkley for that no 10 role then he'll do well to get a sniff, he hasnt got the hype to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I wouldn't have thought either Ireland or England are actually going to play him at senior level for the foreseeable future, so there really is no need for him to "choose". Perhaps he's waiting until it is apparent that one or both is making a serious offer of playing time before deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's waiting until it is apparent that one or both is making a serious offer of playing time before deciding.He'd walk into the Irish team where the likes of John O'Shea and Glenn Whelan are automatic starters.

rodders0223 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Jonathan Walters has more talent in his little toe than Jack will ever possess. Get in in the mixer! Edited September 8, 2015 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Be nice if the parents of these players would piss off and let the kids make their own decision. I'm Irish, but as Jack has lived in England his whole life I'd have no problem with him playing for you lot. I'd be disappointed though as he's got all it takes to be a leading prem league player and the Irish team is in dire need of a little class.

mikeyp102 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 On talksport they mentioned him. They think he is waiting on whether Ireland qualify and if so will go with them. Obviously they are just making this up, but it would be annoying that's the reason he will choose his nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It would be annoying if he based his ten year international career on next summer...And I think he will get a chance with England, he'll get the token call up in October to prevent Ireland getting him, if he does ok then who knows, Roy's also stated at the weekend that he has doubts over welbeck and Sturridge because of fitness issues, there's every danger one or two others will get injured along the way too, lallana, chamberlain and Walcott probably, I don't think it will be a tick the box think about him again in about four years exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think he should just retire from international football just to put it to bed. amount of idiots badmouthing him because he doesnt want to play for Ireland and that he isnt all that then at end of same sentence say you can win 80 caps for Ireland or 3 for England are clowns that have never seen him play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Let him reach his potential first and be one of the best in the world, make England desperate to get him, the FA will offer him silly money if he chooses them and then he doesn't need to leave Villa for more money, as he will earn bucket loads from England. Future solved ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they are just making this up, but it would be annoying that's the reason he will choose his nationality.If Ireland qualify and he then declares I hope we don't bring him to the world cup. I don't care if he's good enough it's not fair on the players who played all through qualification to have him come in at the last minute only because we qualify. He either declares before the end of qualification or doesn't go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I think he's talking about the Euros, in which case that's probably only 1 game away. So it's not like he waited all through qualification as he really only has been available so to speak for 2 or 3 games.

KSV Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Choosing England according to independent. Can't say I'm surprised. At least his value will sky rocket when the impending transfer request comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just hope that this doesn't mean his head is gonna vanish up his rear, as he's achieved nothing yet!Best of luck Jack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I doubt he has any chance of the Euros unless England lose a lot of players to injury.He's not ready to play for England yet, he has a lot to learn even with his talent.If he does choose England and does well over the next 2 years then maybe he will make the next WC squad but 1st he needs to prove he has what it takes week in week out in the Premier League.

CrackpotForeigner Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Choosing England according to independent. Can't say I'm surprised. At least his value will sky rocket when the impending transfer request comes! Please make it stop.Help yourself to speculating about other players, but please leave Jack Grealish alone ffs. He's grown up at Villa, his family are Villa through and through. He's notorious for living and breathing Aston Villa. Maybe one day the years of speculation will wear him out like they did Dwight Yorke, but for now I'd imagine he's a very happy Villan. Way too early for Sale-by-Internet-Messageboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If he fulfils his potential we'd end up losing him eventually but he won't be one to ditch us at the first opportunity. He has too much invested in this club and his family would disown him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I hate the England team but at least it means he'll probably get called up less and therefore less chance of injury. Also he is actually technically English anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
