Richard Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'd sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I can't see anyone offering enough that it's worth selling him rather than giving him a chance to fight for his place and hope he works out. I'm not convinced so far though. He's like a shit Lee Hendrie with half the ability and twice the attittude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hendrie didn't really break into the team until he was 20/21 so still time for Grealish to prove he's as good or even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaChris Posted December 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2015 11 hours ago, Richard said: I'd sell him As much as he's persona non grata at the moment, I think him being sold for something like 5m would be of Cahill type disastrous proportions. We'd all be whinging in a few years time when he's running rings round us playing for Spurs or Liverpool or someone. Young players go through dips. Barry had a really dodgy spell out of the team towards the end of JG's time, even put in a transfer request. I remember pre season when Chelsea were bidding for Stones and I asked Arteta'sGirl about Barkley and she said he was really poor last season and had a lot to prove this season, you really think Everton would've sold him for 5m, now they can start demanding 20m + again.. Grealish however is doing himself no favours off the pitch and needs to sort that out as he certainly has the air of someone who's made it when he still has plenty to prove. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is not quite as extreme but look at Ravel Morrison, all the talent in the world but an utter bellend intent on throwing it away. West Ham still signed him from Man. United though. And then after doing little at West Ham a Seria A club like Lazio snapped him up where he's hardly played. Clubs will always take risks on players especially if they're free or being sold at knock down fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Grealish would go for neither of those though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Jack Grealish is suffering from second season syndrome, which so many youngsters go through. When he started playing last season he will have been so full of confidence and been so exited to play which has given him that something special. Confidence starts going to his head and the excitement he got from playing matches disappears, then the next season he starts badly and the confidence is battered, going down to a new low. The second season syndrome happens to youngsters, foreigners that arrive in new country and new teams that get promoted. They have that something special because they have that buzz of having to impress and excitement. Grealish has talent, hopefully this season he can get his head straight, then kick on from there. I'll judge him next season. The talk about selling him is just mental. Usually when a team has a talented youngsters they gradually give them more and more game game time, whilst doing their best keeping them out of the limelight. Too much confidence in young players will destroy them, confidence must be earned. This is why I thought Sherwood's handling of Grealish was awful, throwing him straight in the first team and making him believe he is the best player in the world. As soon things go against him that confidence will explode. He can, if he works hard, get out of this little rot stronger than before.

ermie123 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I could never see what all the hype was about personally. It's not as if he ever came on and won a game for or scored any goals. He's never played any awesome passes or overhead kicks. Runs about a bit, strokes hair, no shin pads and goes missing on free kicks. I fail to see anything out of the ordinary. Same as Gil nothing really special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted December 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2015 Think hes trying to hard atm, needs to relax and just play his normal game. I would like to see him played on either of the wings just take the pressure of him a bit and give him a defined roll, he seems to be all over the pitch atm and its not working. He may even produce a few crosses. As for him being nothing special.............not yet but he has a certain style of play that not many players have, if, and it is a big IF, it can be nurtured then he could be very special.

AntrimBlack Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It would be madness to sell Grealish at this time. He may be special; he may be overrated, but it is too soon to tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The new young guys are improving all the time. There is a possibility they are going to make Gil and Grealish look rather ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Gil nothing really special. It's the excitement of an attacking youth team player breaking through, we had it with Moore 1, Moore 2, Gabby, probably loads others, everyone wants to see them being the hero, being the saviour, but it rarely happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Apart from Leicester i agree but he has only actually played 4 league games this season and one of those he was only on the field for about 13 minutes so how can we judge him. He is not the reason we are bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you come on as a sub, it is your chance to impress the manager and make him consider you to start in the next game. Grealish has not done that, in my opinion. Hence my disappointment, as I think he can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
