I haven't seen a manager ever have attacking talent this good, and choose to play such a negative, turgid brand of football. He's a joke He's scared of a big defeat, he's happy if he gets away with a 1-0 loss because the many friendlies against poor opposition will make him look good over a period of time, hence his idiot superiors are happy for him to carry on regardless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand those who may have thought Jack was subdued in the previous game, but this could be applied to other players, and based over collective recent performances, he should be a starter. The conservatism not to give Jack free reign, and to build around him frustrates me, however, it has given me an ever greater appreciation for him in an Aston Villa shirt. The old guard and the age old problem with England from my perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish, Mount, Foden and Sancho, quick warm up lads you're on. Maguire, deep in own area, arms stretched out in nonplussed shrug, lumps the ball toward German 18 yd area. Think Given, Bradford 2013. "Dust yourself down lads, we go again against Moldova in WC qualify. That is my bread & butter" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saka was playing LWB sure. But he isn't he's playing RW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swerbs Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 3 minutes ago, Okonokos said: Anyone got access to the full article? Quote Aston Villa are very hopeful that Jack Grealish will sign a new contract at the club this summer which will end any discussion of a move away for the England international in the near future. There has been growing interest in Grealish throughout the year with a figure of £100 million estimated as the transfer fee, although it has never been the intention of Villa to sell. His weekly basic wage before bonuses is estimated to be around £100,000-a-week and any new deal would likely increase that baseline to around £150,000-a-week. The Villa ownership have always made clear in private that they are serious about keeping their best player, a homegrown prodigy who has been at the club since the age of six, and the wealth of the individuals involved at Villa means that the offer of a British record transfer fee would not necessarily be decisive. Grealish signed a new contract at the club in September which secures his future until 2025 and an improved deal would likely extend that for at least one year. There has been much discussion of a £100m buyout clause in the latest deal agreed between club and player although neither side have ever confirmed its existence. Any new deal would not have a buyout clause. A new contract for Grealish would be a clear line in the sand that the club are not prepared to sell their best talent. Grealish was hours away from joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2018 before the takeover of the club by American investor Wes Edens and his business partner Nassef Sawiris, an Egyptian billionaire. Since then Grealish has signed two new deals that have made him the best-paid player at the club. Manchester City’s interest in the player has been the key feature of the uncertainty around his future at Villa. While the player is much admired by Pep Guardiola and his star player Kevin De Bruyne, the signing of Grealish would be a very expensive and potentially difficult deal for the Premier League champions to complete. In the meantime Villa have made a positive start to the summer market with the club-record signing of Spanish midfielder Emi Buendia from Norwich City for £33 million. Buendia was told that the club see him as ideally compatible with Grealish. Grealish turns 26 in September and has become a regular for England within the last 12 months. Villa are ambitious to move on from their 11th place finish last season and push for European football, an aim to which Grealish would be key. Another year at Villa gives both player and club chance to see how far they can go together Analysis by Sam Wallace This was always likely to be the summer at which Jack Grealish arrived at the crossroads of his career, but with such wealthy owners at Aston Villa it is the club who control the situation. The decision to give the 25-year-old a new deal in September has been vindicated by Grealish’s performances over a season in which he has progressed again, in spite of injury problems. Unlike Tottenham Hotspur, who have a disenchanted Harry Kane to mollify, there are more years on Grealish’s contract and tangible ambition at the club for the 2021/22 season. Villa have an experienced manager in place and the signing of Buendia was a sign that they are prepared to invest in the future. If Grealish was serious about leaving the club then signing a contract until 2025 in a depressed pandemic-hit transfer market, which has even the wealthiest ownerships thinking twice about big transfer fees, has greatly diminished those chances. In his public remarks the Villa academy boy has always been open about his intention to join Spurs in 2018. That deal was abandoned when the club was bought by the current ownership. Since then the development of Villa as a stable Premier League club has been significant, and their ambitions of playing in European competition match with that of their star player. Selling Grealish this summer would not make sense to Villa, and incentivising him with a new deal would at least give both parties space. Naturally Grealish wants to play Champions League football and another year with Villa – on a bigger salary package - would give him and the club the opportunity to see how far they might go together. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 12 hours ago, WHY said: I couldn’t disagree more, it’s not because he plays for us, it’s because he deserves to play. How can a player who has been MOTM in half of his starts for England and have more assists than any other player since his debut not be first pick, let alone start. In the the last 3 games he’s started he has literally had a hand in all the 3 goals we have scored. Yes but I cant just watch England hoping and waiting for Grealish to come on. If we fail and he doesn't play then we can all have a pop at Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
