Philosopher Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Demitri_C said: The problem is when grealish was here we played to his individual strengths that isnt the case now hnder emery. We are playing collectively as a team. This is emerys show not grealishes anymore. I dont see how he will fit into our plans now. It wont be the same for him or us. I dont think there is much more ti say about him tbh. Diabys the main man now Diaby isn't the main man. It's as you said we have a team built to be a team, not a team built around one very talented player. Jack was very good last season at Man City where he is surrounded by great players. He has learnt to be part of a team unit. His defensive work has improved too. Jack is an elite footballer make no mistake. It's not about replacing Diaby with Grealish or any small time thoughts like that. It's about adding Grealish to Diaby, in the team. Anyone who says adding Grealish to what we have would not strengthen us is on crack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their isn't one player in our current squad that had done what Jack has, achieved what he has, and maybe only 2 or 3 that are near his talent level. Not one manager has claimed he is bad for morale or a poor trainer, in fact they all say the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby is part of a successful team and is vital in us moving forward. Under grealish we relied far too much on him and became a one man team. Now diaby is a clog in a important system. If grealish came we would have to rip the whole game plan up to accommodate him. No thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul33 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Not sure I'd pay big money for him but Gresford would certainly add to the current Villa side and make us stronger. £30M would be worth a punt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 He doesn't play the same way at City as he did with us so if he was to return, I'm sure he could adapt to Emery style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The simple answer for me is that if Emery wants him back then I’d welcome him back. If not then I’m not interested. Why are you talking about him returning anyway? Has something happened? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish under us had a 'free role' we all know this smith said before he was axed. Emery wont allow that not a chance. He isnt going to do what diaby does so he cant play his role so only option would be playing him on a front left and i dont think grealish was that great there. He doesnt seem a emery type player to me tbh but i could be wrong. Id be shocked if hypothetically speaking citeh put him up for sale in summer if we would be interested (finances aside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I mean…. He’s still a quality player, bit silly to say wouldn’t have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Jack in our team right now could probably make us title contenders, don't think I'm exaggerating. We're up there already while playing Zaniolo on the left every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
