Chalobah plays in a different role to Jack, he's more defensive Grealish should go to the World Cup on current form in my opinion Edited April 11, 2018 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 What a strike. Awesome to see him get the winner, and in such style too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't many English midfielders that are in better than him currently, I don't think calling him up would be a gamble Southgate has picked his pool of players and had them training and playing in friendlies. Stevo isn’t saying whether or not it would be a gamble to pick him, just that the decision has been made already and nothing is going to change that.

If honest I dont think England would know how to use him properly and push him onto the wing. He is different though to any other English player in my view 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't really see how he can be assessed against other potential/likely England players while he is playing in the Championship, so I don't think there will be any chance of him being in the squad until he is back in the Prem.

sidcow Posted April 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2018 I genuinely don't think that performances in the Championship are much different to the Premier League. Outside of the top 6 clubs the rest of the PL is full of dross, most teams not even as good as down here shown by the number of PL clubs who struggle when relegated and Championship clubs who do well when promoted. Most games week in week out in the PL Jack would shine just as brightly I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he isn't good enough, but Southgate has used dozens of players recently, all of whom he's having a look at with an eye on the World Cup. He's not going to suddenly include Grealish, who hasn't been in a single one of those friendlies, in his final 23 man squad. It just isn't going to happen. He'll make that squad eventually. But the world cup is probably 12 months too soon for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get promoted is there a chance for him to go to Russia this summer? I certainly hope not. A good rest ready for next season please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'm not from England and could care less about how they fare in tournaments, I think it's possible more than probable, that Jack being included in Southgate's plans would be a win for all involved. It would be a new platform for Jack to develop, and would provide England with some creativity and style that they probably lack in midfield. I haven't seen much of Alli so can't comment on him but aside from him I'd say Wilshere is the next best, and from an attacking perspective I don't think Grealish is too far off Wilshere. I'd say he's probably superior in a few ways. I'm not worried about him getting exposure, just the club seeing him as a financial asset above a footballing one. Thankfully nothing's been said or done to indicate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegzy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think Jack is like a slightly better version of Wilshere and has more to his game than Alli (apart from goals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Jack nowhere near Russia this summer, for a variety of reasons. I think Jack missing the first half of the season means he won’t get a look in this summer. As mentioned earlier he hasn’t been in any of the squads in the recent friendlies which suggest he isn’t being considered at the moment. If he helps us to promotion this year, rests up during the close season, then hits the ground running next season, then I think we will see him get a call up.

Jack is a far better player when he plays at a high tempo hopefully he realises that and continues to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted April 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2018 I noticed Bruce made an interesting comment in his pre-Leeds match presser. He said about him doing well and he’s maturing, and the comment was “you never know with Jack, he could be Kate for training” or something along those lines. Maybe a bit of an issue in the past, I hope it’s out of his system. I fancy another big performance tonight from him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2018 Quite often I think VT is overstating what Jack is doing in a match, but today I thought he was immense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2018 Best player we've got by a million miles. So cool and calm on the ball, makes the right choices and keeps it simple a lot. Special talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
