He plays attacking midfield and left wing, Pogba, Bruno & Rashford are all better than him. Why would he be a starter?
Of course he’d start some games, but not a regular. That’s what I mean.
Don’t be so facetious buddy.
I really like Grealish and want us to sign him......but its a lot of money for a player mainly playing positions we have well covered as you state and then we are also looking at the likes of Bellingham and have Mjebri to come through not least the fact that with a limited budget, all our money may go on Sancho, so are several reasons not to sign him.
However, he instantly replaces Mata, Lingard and Perreira who we should be looking to move on and provides cover for pretty much every front six position bar striker for us. Also, despite his off field misdemeanours he is a leader and captain so offers somethign in the dressing room too.
We dont actually know just how good he is yet as he hasnt been in England sides or played for a big club surrounded by better players than at Villa with no disrepect to them. But I have followed him since he broke through at Villa as we were heavily linked with him then. I remember people lambasting SPurs trying to buy him which surprised me, always would have taken him here and I actually think he could be a huge player for us.
He has stacks of ability and drive and would certainly be a starter for me in our current squad and even with a coupeo of additions touted, I think he would surprise a few people with how good he actually is and would be starting regularly. I know he has played on the left for Villa this season so hard to compare, but would you rather have Pogba of the last three years or Grealish of this year purely in terms of performance and consistency? I am not talking ability as Pogba obviousoly has tonnes of ability.
