Probably the best we’ve seen of him for a full 90mins. Perhaps the warmer weather will bring out the best of him, combined with his improved understanding of the language. Our really weak point has proven to be the front 3, and especially the two wider players of that front 3. ElGhazi unfortunately continues to under deliver on what I thought he could, and so I have to say I have been wrong about him and he simply isn’t going to be good enough at Premier League level. Shame. The wide areas are the reason why I think we should look at going narrower in a 4-1-3-2, or 4-4-2. We just don’t have the personnel for 4-3-3. ElGhazi and Trezeguet just not delivering what’s required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also says he will go to the highest bidder. Also says he might go abroad. It’s been done for months, I’ve said several times. Grealish’s dad will be a rich man, to many palms we’re greased months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Grealish played well yesterday. Even Messi and Ronaldo lose the ball a few times a game. At least their chances created have a good chance of being finished off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 if I was Grealish's adviser I would tell him to go to either Man City , Liverpool or Abroad. Going abroad will be brilliant for him even if its for a season or two. Somewhere like Leipzig or Sevilla maybe Athletico Madrid. Obviously if the bigger clubs Barca Real Juve come in then it's a no brainer. His football will improve big time. Manchester United are a rudderless ship atm. Under Fergie yes do it. With OGS at the helm big mistake. Unless he wants to get rich like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his perfoemance it was ok but i blame smith more. Why is he having him drift in amd out wide?? He is better centrally Because no one player is bigger than the team and if we play him centrally we have to restructure the entire team and we don’t have good enough defensive players to do this. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Grealish old man was pissed up at Cheltenham telling anyone who would listen it was United, it’s done. We “won’t stand in his way as long as we get 80m” https://stellargroup.co.uk/team/ they’re Jack’s agency, google them and their history of bungs.

If Suso stays I shudder to think what further damage he could do. We have lots of players with 3/4 years left on their deal we couldn't sell if we tried. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for him to stay though. He is going to get better with better players around him. If we stay up we have to buy 2 very good players and 1/2 World class level players to have any chance of him staying. If the Newcastle take over is finalised then they are looking to buy Koulibaly for starters. Then we should look to get the Qataris to invest in us as they hate the Saudis and will do anything to see them fail.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a word, Yes. IF we stay up and Grealish moves on for £80m+ then we should be able to add 3-4 good players that would be 1st team players. I’m assuming that the club would add a further £50-70m on top of the fee received for grealish, so an overall transfer budget of £130-150m. If we stay up our owners might even sanction sums higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rich owners the 5th richest in the PL? Yet we were not able to spend? Koulibaly is going to cost £80m meaning they would have only another 30m ish to spend. I dont get this ffp thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
