He could play in any team in the world, the form he's in and he's only getting better. He can, the saving grace is none of these so called mega clubs are in a position to fork out 100+m on one player. They're in financial trouble. Only PSG could potentially, but I seriously doubt Jack would go there. He gets more of a test playing against Southampton and Burnley. We're very lucky in that sense. In regular times he'd have been snatched up as quickly as Bale and Suarez were, and if we were the Villa of old he'd have been a United player already. It's the perfect storm of everything falling into place nicely for a fairy tail story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes in the summer, my broken heart is on you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and De Bruyne for me. If KDB “takes” Man City to the title, he’ll probably win it. But this is genuinely the level Grealish is at. World class.

nepal_villan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Imagine his numbers if he took free kicks and penalties. Probably another 4-5 assists and goals combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If he had taken those chances earlier in the season he'd be top scorer in the league now. Sheffield United he missed about 3/4 alone. I'd like to see him end on minimum 15 for the season and about 20 assists (though this depends on the players taking their chances). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Grealish more assists than Bruno. In terms of goals Bruno scored more but about a third of them are pens so not really that relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be doing amazing if he could equal that. I'm more interested to see if he can get his goals into double figures. He's at 6. It took him 10 games to go from 5 to 6 so hopefully the next one isn't that long a wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of good chances he creates he should be getting close to that target. Just wish we'd take our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I read yesterday, he’s been fouled in 160 consecutive matches. He’s the first Villa player to reach 9 assists in a season. We’re at the half way stage of the season. That’s amazing figures. Best player in the league and others fans know it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does sound feasible, but then you have to remember De Bruyne plays with Aguero and Sterling and co. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody who has seen all of the greats tell me where Grealish stands on the all-time list? I appreciate this is slanderous: but I fail to comprehend how somebody who had ten pints of Guinness the night before most of his games could compete with Jacky!!! I was regularly attending Villa matches from 86 onwards so remember McGrath as i was playing a lot of football myself. Personally due to where I liked to play my favourites were always Walters, Daley, Platt, Saunders, Yorke and Atkinson amongst others. The reason is they get the ball and excite using their skills, create goals and score them. At that time because I was young the defenders weren't as exciting to me and taken for granted perhaps. But anyway Grealish is Number One Villa player for me! Edited January 31, 2021 by Zhan_Zhuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if "killed" is a strong enough verb for what he did to that ball. He massacred it. Was ridiculous. Like he was trapping a bag of sand. Surprised they didn't check that the ball had deflated after that. He is a player that you would pay money to go and see, regardless of who you support. Absolute travesty that some of these performances he has been pulling out are in front of an empty stadium because it's robbing people of the memories that they can tell their grandkids about in years to come. Walking, talking legend in his prime. We are very very lucky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
