Jack Grealish

I just think with all the hype around Grealish he should be winning games on his own (that old cliche) for Villa. Nick Powell, Mason Mount, Bradley Dack etc are all completely outshinning him this season and yes for sure point taken about Bruce struggling this season but I still think Grealish should be doing a lot better. When you're supposedly the top player in the whole division, even when you're side is struggling he should be the one stepping up.

Saw Grealish for the first time in the flesh today An absolute preening drama queen but he is a good player. Great touch, strong and ghosts away from players. I think he will do well in a better team and make the step up to the premiership soon. For all of his elegance he needs to do more though. His stats for goals and assists are not great

Grealish is as good as he is going to get though; whereas Mings can only get better.

JG strikes me as a big fish in a small pond when in the Championship, before becoming a medium fish in a large pond in the PL. Most of his reputation is based in the Championship.

Grealish will have caps to his name by the end of the season I reckon. His biggest problem is that there is a huge amount of quality young English attacking midfield players coming through. 3 years ago? when Grealish made the choice to switch the pathway to being an England regular seemed far far easier. Now as good as Grealish is, and he is a very good player btw, the standard of competition he faces to get into the first 11 regularly is huge.

There would definitely be a queue of teams ready to sign him. I'm not sure why all the Irish fans can't admit he's a really good player. Ya, he took a steaming hot dump on the Irish football team and every one of it's fans. That doesn't detract from how good a player he is though. It might make him an absolute c**t, but has little to do with his ability as a player.
