Plays with his socks rolled down. Reminds me of the 70's (Ardiles?).

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
He’s one of those that you fear would be brilliant elsewhere if we don’t sign him but would probably go backwards and look a total waste of money if we did sign him.
I don't think he's worth the money you'd have to pay for him. A cut-price Beckham who'd just become a Charlie big-potatoes if he got a money move to a big club.

As per this article, Grealish has 45 million release clause.
Not totally convinced he's as good as people are saying. Yes he impresses in some games but doing it consistently at a top club. I'm not sure. There's a bit of Jonjo Shelvey about him, if you know what I mean.
The January window will determine if we finish mid-table or mount a late challenge for top 4. Dean Smith says none of his players have a release clause and none of his players will be sold in January, but many other reports state that Grealish has a buy out clause of £ 45 million.
Grealish may not be Modric but he's far better than what we currently have. He was made for yesterdays game against Watford, where a moment of brilliance opens up a stubborn defense and edges us ahead. Pogba would sulk less also if he had another player in midfield helping out with creative duties. It's a no-brainer really if we can activate a release clause.

For £45m it's a pretty good deal. He's not world class yet but he is very good. I think he could be something similar to Wjnaldum at Pool. To be honest it's been a very long time since we've had 3 technical players playing in midfield, the last time I can recall would probably be Scholes Carrick and Hargreaves in 08. Even something like Mctominay, Graelish and Pogba would help a lot against the smaller teams.
I get what you are saying, but in terms of talent and potential he is the real deal.
In our position and state, I do think a signing like him would make sense. A player with very high potential who will peak within a couple of years, available at a fair price.
Another player that we could have bought earlier for a much smaller fee. Would be a good signing all things considered.
He is a phenomenon in my opinion
If Pogba is staying then don't think we need that type of player. Rather have McGinn in that case.
Be a brilliant signing for 45 million. He probably won't leave mid season being captain and avid Villa fan.
No thanks.
Grealish is a great talent. He or Madison would be a major improvement on our options for the No10 Role. Mata, Lingard, and Pereira are not up to the standard required, If Ollie believes they are good enough he is dreaming. They will get him the sack. Grealish has matured over the last few years, he's made for the big stage, he has started to develop into a consistent performer week in week out.
Reckon shelvey would also improve your midfield. Good player.
Not heard about a £45m release clause before.! If true, that would be superb business from us.
Grealish was good in the championship and i wasn't sure if he could not only replicate it in the PL, but improve even further in a quicker more technical league. He has done than and some! I have heard from a few journalists that he has sorted himself out off the field too and is an incredibly ambitious and dedicated professional. He is very underrated in general and imo is better than players like Mason Mount, Deli Ali and Eriksen to name a few. Him and Madisson should be told priority for those positions if available.

Quality player, can see him end up in Liverpool.
He is very good player. Would love him here.
With them having signed Minamino?
We can’t have quality replacing our Lingard.
Vey high barometer there.
I do know what you mean. Don't know why i'm laughing though, because Jonjo would walk into our starting 11.If £45m release clause is true, it's a no brainer. He's more productive than Maddison in a worse team, already has leadership qualities and would cost significantly less.
I think he makes the most sense to sign as number.
- Within a good price range.
- Firing goals and assists already in the league.
- Still young enough.
- Has leadership qualities (not saying he's our next captain but we need leaders all over the pitch)
- He's much better than what we have with room for improvement.
Grew up on me and getting him and Haaland for their supposed release clauses would be such a nice boost in January. Really can't see it happening though.
No chance in Jan. Possibly summer
Problem is McGinn is out for 3 months. If villa sell Grelish now then the crowd would revolt. Hopefully sealed in summer.
No brainier signing him
Brings end product and creates a lot of chances as well as scores goals, anybody have Grealishs chances created, assists and goals stats? Then compare them to lingaards......big upgrade
Buy Buendia from Norwich too another one who creates loads in a position we lack in
Buendia upgrade on Mata
Grealish upgrade on Lingaard and Peirerra

What would the punishment be for a team not in Europe for breaking FFP rules??? Serious question. City's punishment was they could only bring a certain amount of players to Champions League games. I don't think that would both Villa one bit...
With that being said, I think Graelish is a very good player. My only problem with him is that he is more of a dribbler than a passer and I think the last thing this team needs is more players who look to do things on their own. We need players with an eye for a pass, good one/two touches, and great runs off the ball...
As long as Villa stay up, I don’t think he’ll leave for a few seasons yet. I think he’d be a great asset for a lot of the bigger clubs but he’s hardly a necessity for the price he’d cost. He’s like their Zaha in many senses.
Isn't that like every other player United has signed in the last 6 years, though? 
Doesn't matter how it's done. We just need somebody to take responsibility and make chances.
He has an xa90 of 0,17 from open play. Maddison is on 0,12 from open play.
If you prefer key passes, Grealish is on 35 from open play. Maddison has 21 (with one more game played). And Grealish plays for Villa with players like Wesley.

He is a good player, but also feel more suited for a smaller team. Although he would be better than Lingard as a number 10.
All irrelevant if he's creating chances and assists and outperforms Lingaard and Pereira in every stat
I don't think he has a general £45m release clause however he may well have one on relegation.
It's closer to 60m apparently.
He won't leave mid season but ultimately we go back down and they'll be little choice. At 25 he's not going back to playing championship and understandbably so, can see a few of the top clubs being in for him and even Leicester if they sell Maddison and have CL on offer.

Great attacking midfielder. 45m is a steal for a player like him in today's market. Just in the position where we're most dire.
McGinn, Mings and Grealish are Villa's most influential players, imo. With McGinn and Mings out, I'm looking forward to seeing if Grealish can turn Villa's fortune around.
A sign that he'll join in January and propel us to European glory?
I looked it up and the game he was referring to was our 2-0 victory over Ajax in the Europa league.
