Pep will get frustrated by his ball hogging.

For context the article mentions that Villa tried this after they had received the £100m bid from City, so it seemed like a bit of a ploy to delay the move and probably obvious to the Grealish camp hence why he would only want City, as he knew they were the only serious club. It would have also been an attempt to buy more time to wrap up their other transfer dealings.Tweet

Perhaps the most interesting thing about that article is that Villa didn't want to sell to City as they feel they're damaging the competition with their financial power and apparently many clubs share the same view.Tweet

It was 2 years ago wasn't it?We tried to get him last year but couldn’t agree a fee with Villa
No last yearIt was 2 years ago wasn't it?
Yes but individual's goals don't mean anything, only team goals.I’ve watched him play and he draws in fouls everytime. End of the day football is about scoring goals to win goals. Why do you think Pep wants to dominate the ball and have higher percentage on the ball? Football is about the numbers.
Or they were angry City could have been tapping him up.Perhaps the most interesting thing about that article is that Villa didn't want to sell to City as they feel they're damaging the competition with their financial power and apparently many clubs share the same view.
I wonder if Pep is going to try him as the false 9. He’s excellent at holding the ball up and bringing others into play and drawing fouls. With pace either side of him I think it could really work in a Pep setup. That being said, their interest in Kane suggests it isn’t Pep’s plan A.Good player, strange signing.
Doesn't strike me as a Pep-type of player and I'm sure whilst Grealish's bold, confident style makes him a fans favourite at a club like Villa, im not sure he's better than what City have
Thought it was 2 years ago. Then it we bought Bruno and we've only chased Sancho sinceNo last year
When we signed VDB (last summer) rumour was Ole wanted grealish, but Ed got him VDB as he was half price.Thought it was 2 years ago. Then it we bought Bruno and we've only chased Sancho since
What do you mean? Heaton has already played.Amazing how we sign players ages before City yet their signings are immediately involved while ours have not even started training with us yet

Well we don't know the circumstances behind it do we?It's a poor show from us however you want to look at it. City just seem much more professional how they run things compared to us.
Grealish and Sancho had the same involvement in the Euros yet one is ready to play while we allow the other to just travel round the world and hope he shows up at some point before Christmas
You're talking a few days difference between Grealish and Sancho, really not worth complaining aboutAmazing how we sign players ages before City yet their signings are immediately involved while ours have not even started training with us yet
Aye, we're literally incompetent at absolutely everything and we're the laughing stock of the footballing world. Embarassing. lolIt's a poor show from us however you want to look at it. City just seem much more professional how they run things compared to us.

I think Pep will get him to release the ball quicker, similar to Wijnaldum's transformation under Klopp.Pep will get frustrated by his ball hogging.
I could see him play deeper in central midfield as well. Whenever Villa was on the back foot last season (like vs us) you could see why. Quick thinking and doesn't lose the ball easily without drawing a foul.I wonder if Pep is going to try him as the false 9. He’s excellent at holding the ball up and bringing others into play and drawing fouls. With pace either side of him I think it could really work in a Pep setup.

I’m with you. What a bonkers statement.
Might as well call him a more talented David Unsworth.100m for a more talented version of Tim Cahill. Jesus Christ.
Grealish said it was because we had already signed brunoWe tried to get him last year but couldn’t agree a fee with Villa
