Unfortunately for England, Southgate probably only put him in the squad reluctantly.
Jack Grealish

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Was there not rumours that he has a clause where if certain clubs are in for him, there is a release clause? Or am I chatting bullshit.
I know that Tarkowski has one, apparently Maddison and Grealish too? Not entirely sure so, dont quote me on it.
Southgate doesn't rate him highly then ?
Palace asked 70m for Zaha before covid, with covid it makes more sense if the price should be lower than 80m.
He said in his most recent press conference that Grealish is 'moving up his list of players' because of his performances recently.
Shows how clueless is he, isn't it? A player like Grealish still can't make it to that midfield.
Doubt anyone will pay that though. Not that he is unhappy at Villa anyway.
He needs to bulk up and play more brexit style football to be in with a shout of playing for the mighty engerland
No place in midfield? He should be one of the first who is set. Who else is in such a form currectly?
positive i read he had a clause as well although i am sure it was actually more then the 80m being quoted last summer, if he can keep his current form going then would imagine a bigger club will pay it.
He is top draw. If a player like Maddison was touted for around that much, Grealish is up there. He is imo better than Maddison because he can play LW / CAM and he has an attributes that not many footballers have. Maddison is a CAM which you can find around Europe and in England whereas you do not see many footballers with the ball carrying and press resistant capabilities of Grealish.
He was like prime Messi with his dribbling against Arsenal. Loves a drop shoulder and boom see ya. My mate is a huge Villa fan and I use to go to games many years ago when he was first breaking into the team. Even then he was a standout player. Would love him at our club if we end up selling Pogba. Otherwise Pogba, DVB, Bruno will be very congested.
He sees Grealish as a left sided forward, the same position he's been playing for Villa since he's kicked on as a player. The competition for that place in the England side is Sterling, Sancho and Rashford.
I'd much rather have him in midfield.
Buy him to replace Bruno he’s two times the player. Can also finally replace Pogba (Or get the player fans wish he was).
Not really, he’s not a midfielder, he’s a wide forward.
This is the kind of thinking which got England in such a mess for years. The England team plays in a certain way. That doesn’t change for individuals, Southgate picks the best round pegs for round holes. Grealish is up against Sterling for his place in the England team.
Bit harsh on Bruno
He’s a good player. But for United our best player should really be world class/elite. Bruno will never be that. Grealish, personal opinion. Just needs the platform.
He's really breaking out into the player expected and certainly at the right time at 25 years old certainly another late bloomer in football terms, think his best position is coming off the wing drifting centrally
My favourite English player right now. Sorry Villa fans but it is shame (for us) that Villa stayed up. I am sure that we would have bought him if that happened
Greetings to you all. I would say that IF (and it's a big IF) Jack leaves the Villa it will not be to another English club. I could see him finishing up at Bayern.
at people who tried their hardest in the last 2 years to make you believe we're better than under Moyes, LVG or Mourinho.
Maybe he should change this "certain way". He could have been more successfull. England has a strong squad. Sterling isn't up to his best anyway.
Kane upfront and Grealish LW. Is Spurs+Villa combined. Put Sancho on the RW and you only have to choose #10 and 2x 6er.
I think it should be pretty easy and obvious, altough i don't follow much international football, so of course i could be wrong.
So with all Bruno has done for us in 9 months, we are now looking to replace him...
Does not compute. Selling Bruno is essentially sacking Ole.
Sack Ole, sell Bruno
why did I not think of this. Will start posting it in matchday threads as we only win when we doubt Ole.Don't see Grealish here. We got DVB, if Pogba leaves maybe but the most recent situation with Solskjaer failing to balance our midfield would likely see Grealish fighting with Rashford for a spot on the LW position and its the opposite flank that we need investment.
Fecking hell that’s a bit much
Agree with this. Stats would suggest Martial is pretty important to us but considering how unreliable he is i would much prefer Grealish. And that bolded part is key. Outside of Martial when hes in form, we lack players who can hold up the ball in attack and having Grealish in there would do wonders for our build up play
Win win.
No agenda. There’s not room for them both and Grealish is world class. Bruno’s just done **** hero who’s not as talented. He’s not crap though obviously. But we treat him like he’s in the same bracket as Ronaldo’s, Rooney’s and RVP’s. I just find it odd.
what!!!!! Bruno is our most productive player who consistently makes things happen! Both last season and this one he has literally dragged this team by the scruff of its neck, and you want to replace him? Oh dear. The guy is literally the reason we’re in the champions league this season. We wouldn’t of done it without signing him. Don’t be silly!
Ffs. Is this a wum? On what planet is Grealish world class? Can't even get into the England team yet. No doubt he's a good player and I'd love him here. Bruno's impact has certainly been up there with those Utd players mentioned and has certainly more of a case for being considered world class.
I went to Villa games and he just looked brilliant and his calves were just a thing of beauty tbh. He’s a loyal lad, brummies normally are.
He is unreal at carrying the ball and said in the summer I would take him over Sancho any day of the week.
He can play LW, RW, CAM, Number 8 and I am certain he could play as a centre forward, the ball literally sticks to him like glue.
——————Martial
Rashford—-Bruno—-Grealish
———-Fred——Mctominay
In the really big games, we could put him on the right and we would be brilliant.
He looks after the ball brilliantly.
Greewood, Cavani, Diallo, VDB, Matic.
Contrary to what people say I don’t think he works especially hard but I think he would if needs be.

Yeah we all have opinions. You say impact like he won us a league title. We literally just qualified for Champions League. Big deal.
He’s class and really under appreciate outside of Villa.
he is world class.He’s exceptional and I would love love love to see what he could do in a top team. Excellent footballer. Saying that I don’t agree with swap him for Bruno. Bruno is our main guy. We should have both.
