I don't believe there is any basis for such an appraisal. Jota looks on a totally different planet and he is just on example. Jack is miles away from being anything like a quality player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a few players that are on a different planet to anybody in the league. It will be best of the rest this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Can't ever see him fitting into a Steve Bruce team or doing well under him. Whatever style of play we have, or are supposed to have, jack's a square peg in a round hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever style of play we have, or are supposed to have, jack's a square peg in a round hole. According to Steve Bruce, before Grealish's injury in pre-season he was attempting to 'build the team around him'. Now I don't know i) whether that's a good idea or ii) how you would go about implementing it. But it certainly seems as though Bruce has a plan for where Jack fits into his side.

Or option c) it was a pile of absolute BS that he came out with when he got injured because the issues with the side were perfectly evident in pre-season and he was getting an excuse in early. I know what I think, I'll have a C please Bob. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I think, I'll have a C please Bob. You can have a 'C' But there's a big gap between the 2 extremes of "building a team around" and "Can't see him ever fitting into a Steve Bruce team".

DCJonah Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'd get him in as soon as possible. Hopefully on the bench for Fulham and starting against the shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2017 I'll be glad to see him return, but he needs to make the transition from prospect to a player who actually delivers. He's been riding the benefit that is given to youth products for a while now. Said elsewhere but if Grealish had had the season Adomah had last year we'd all be going crazy about him. And vice versa, if Adomah had performed as grealish had, we'd be slating him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I'd have him on the bench on Saturday instead of Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've never seen a players profile grow from been out of the team as much as i have with Jack grealish. Just remember, he's played for us loads, he is not as good as people want him to be. Pops up with the odd goal but his overall game is very flawed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it happens pretty much every time one of our players are out injured. From what I remember Freddy Bouma was pretty much seen as a mix between Roberto Carlos and Jesus Christ by the end of his injury stint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any of our previous managers ever announcing a "masterplan" just as a matter of interest what would expect to get you satisfied by what they say? What would you like to hear?
