I think a few people want an attacking right back to offer something different to AWB. Maybe that’s Williams though and we get a new left back instead.You're probably the only person in the world who thinks so. Shaw/Williams is better depth than AWB, Dalot, Laird, TFM?
Then we have Tuanzebe, Bailly and Lindelöf who can also deputise at RB!
Dalot is definitely the more attacking option, but he needs to improve positionally which might come with time.
Prefer the attacking formation, i think Grealish is more suited as a LCM than the 10 role.

Ditto.
His calves are too big. Socks don’t go past them. People need to be nicer to him.
I have a real issue with it
It's his version of the Cantona upturned collar. I like it, too. A bit of swag and fearlessness about standing out.
Its so much better than over the knees shit.
Because Pogba is probably off and we can't make the same idiotic mistake of relying on one player to save us again?
Yeah when has buying players in the same position like Barca, City & Pool do gotten anyone anywhere? We don't play that many games a season and never get our players injured anyway!
2 Centre mids and a winger? You do realise that Grealish has spent all of this season playing in CM and on the wing, right??
Pogba saved us ?
Those teams play 433 and we don't. Since we just signed Bruno who plays as a 10 my guess is we don't want to switch formations. Grealish is not a CM. It doesn't matter how he is being played by Villa but that's not his position (have watched him since his underage days with Ireland). Also he is only suitable to LW, where we have Rashford, and we clearly need a RW.
I made a post earlier in this thread about football manager muppets who insist on claiming that elite level footballers can only play one position, in one formation and are inherently useless outside of their one specific pigeon-hole; despite presumably watching top level talents, and lower level ones too, change the game by playing differently or in different places. It baffles me how you can claim to be a football fan of any sort and not see how Grealish could play in the same team as Bruno and Rashford, in a multitude of ways. In real life, players don't get a -10 stat reduction for playing a few pixels out of position.
What happens if Bruno gets injured? Do you want another season of Andreas, Jesse and Mata in that position? These three players who are simply not good enough for Manchester United will be shipped on in the Summer and Grealish seems the ideal replacement for the three of them , won't break the bank either if Villa are relegated. We are heavily reliant on a number 10 with Ole's formation.
He still wears shin pads what a weird thing too say.The socks thing is cool alright, but we won't be saying the same thing once someone comes studs up on his shin.
It's amazing how many free kicks he wins and he never gets injured though. He'd get Bruno ten good free kicks per game.
I doubt there is one person who doesn't understand that, it's simple
If Villa are relegated then they certainly have to sell players to balance the loss of revenue. I don’t think there are any buy out clauses in PL so it would depend on competition for his signature and his willingness to move to United. But I would be surprised if we paid in excess of 50m for him.
Mate we have needed a RW since Nani left. I agree we need to address the area and I would spooge my load for a Sancho or A.N.Other but considering we play with our full backs so high, it would not surprise me if the gaffer wants more dynamic central players. If Grealish is available I take him.
Just googled it and this is what the Villa manager said two months ago, “We have not got any clauses in any contracts that allow people to buy players for a certain amount of money."
Liverpool and Chelsea look very inferior to the rest!
Fluid front 4, in a 4-2-3-1, Grealish starting on the left with Rashford/Martial moving up front and pulling left and Bruno starting at 10, I think.
