As a PL and CL winning legend.
Because goals is just one part of his game. How many goals did Zidane score year in year out.
Grealish is brave in terms of always wanting the ball even under pressure, carries it extremely well, draws fouls and can retain the ball when the team needs rest bite. He’s a player that will be amazing in a better team with better players.
I find it hard really difficult to understand why so many doubts over this guy ? - he has already proved he can play with better players by virtue of the fact that he has been the outstanding player in the last two friendlies we have had. Also totally disagree with the comments about him previously posted about him not-hard working no. 10. He is very hard working for a number 10 these days. Trust me - when the tournament begins if he is fouled like he was in the last two games then England will be playing against mainly 10-men opposition because they will be sent off.
If that waist coast has the courage to play him rather than Mount or Foden, then England have a very good chance of winning this tournament. As for his injury record - not surprised if he has to endure so many damn tackles and fouls, they were not the type that Mane has not been getting calls on. Those fouls he endures are direct and designed to stop him - clear as daylight. We were lucky not to face him against Vila at home, and he is part of the reason why we lost big in that away game this season. I would sell Shaq, Origi, Ox, and Keita - and just get him for 75M if we could (still not enough for him when you consider Pogba was bought for 90M+). Oh - just love watching him play. One of the reasons why Klopp I don't think would bring back Coutinho is because he was quite useless in his defensive/pressing duties - not his fault but lacks the physical size, I don't think the same could be said of Grealish as he does track back.
Didn't Aston Villas form drop off as soon as Grealish got injured?
I was also skeptical of the Grealish hype, but after I started watching a few Villa games I came on board that Grealish brings more to the table than just how many goals/assists\ he is or isn't creating. His ability to inject fear when he is on the ball is exactly what we need our 'dry' midfield.
Also, maybe its a bit unfortunate to compare LFC Coutinho who was surrounded by relatively better players (and manager) with Grealish. Grealish is more or less carrying Villa... if Coutinho could work, tackle and press as hard as Grealish then we might have sold Couts to Barcelona for 300m instead.
I just made a post before seeing yours, I wish I had seen it earlier as you said it better...
Also to add that I can actually see Klopp moulding Grealish into a better player. Klopp did this with Coutinho to a certain extent and improved his performances, BUT Klopp also twisted the team around Coutinho to the detriment of the overall team at times. Because of Grealishes defensive strengths, I don't think Klopp would have to make those same sacrifices. You could easily put Grealish in that midfield 3 and sit back relax with regard to his ability to defensively press and tackle.
Thanks for this list ill have to look at youtube for videos of these guys, apart from Daka I don't know any of these players. I hope Edwards and co are doing his usual football manager money ball thang.
I fear you are correct POTY, and if he does well for England , then maybe Euro player of the year.
Yup. I think he's a less productive version of Lallana
This is a joke right ? Lallana ? The one who was never available much because too much running causes him to miss entire seasons ? The one who joined Brighton and literally gets injured coming on as a sub ?
Think about 25 year old Lallana.
A player not really with enough pace to play out wide , but equally not quite good enough to be a 10. Limited defensively. Spent the first half of his career between the top two divisions.
Lallana was better than Grealish at age 25.
The people that expected Lallana to ascend from age 25 onwards were overly optimistic. So I just don't see why anyone would expect any more from Grealish.
Its possible he gets better, but of all the outcomes that are possible it's the least likely one for me.
Nah Grealish is class and well better than Lallana
That's almost a third of his goals and assists for the season in one game.
That should be worrying rather than a badge of honour
He's shitty enough for us to afford him.
The way we defended that day, we could have turned up in a Villa kit, and scored a goal, and had a few assists.
And why did we defend like that ? Because we could not control Grealish.
We're interested in Porto's Fabio Vieira. Player of The Tournament in this month's U21 EUROs, contract with Porto ends 2022.
[article]Portugal's Fábio Vieira has been named UEFA European Under-21 Championship Player of the Tournament.
The Porto midfielder was selected by UEFA's team of technical observers and a member of that panel, Dušan Fitzel, explained their choice: "During the tournament, he was a key player for Portugal. A playmaker who creates a lot of chances. An excellent link between midfield and attack."
The deflected Fábio Vieira strike that took Portugal to the final
Fábio Vieira contested all six games during Portugal's run to the final; he scored the only goal of their opening game against Croatia as a substitute and started every match thereafter. It was his deflected effort that gave Portugal their late semi-final winner against Spain, though his side ultimately fell just short in the decider against Germany.
UEFA's team of technical observers made their decision by looking for players who displayed exceptional skills, made decisive contributions, showed a positive attitude and, crucially, dedicated their individual abilities to the collective efforts of their team.[/article]

Just going by video alone, he knows how to make that cutting pass. He is from a Portuguese club so that's not going to be cheap
Pity, that. He speaks very highly of you. 😉
