Durham is the only pundit or whatever they are who actually knows what kind of player Grealish is. Other think he is a luctury player tbf his insight to villa is quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t listened to talksport for a couple of year, but when I used to, Durham was normally pro Villa. He’d always say how badly we were run, but if we got good owners in then we’d be one of the biggest teams in England. —————— To keep on topic, it will be really interesting to see how McGinn steps up to the prem. He needs to keep up his enthusiasm, but kerb the niggly could and petulance. He picked up enough cards last season and I think prem refs will give out more. Whilst he was very good last season there were still times when he dwelt on the ball or didn’t make the pass. The premier league can be more punishing when you lose possession. However, I trust he’ll be busting his balls to improve with the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably even better than Hourihane but because he has so much more to his game the quality of his passing doesn’t get mentioned.

Delphinho123 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Watching that video just reminded me of how good he is. Cracking little player and everything you want in a professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Now that Jedinak and Whelan have been released, and as Bjarnasson overall maybe hasn't been quite as good as he was for Iceland in Euro 2016, out of the players we have right now would McGinn be the best in the defensive midfield position (e.g. in a 4-1-4-1)? But then we'd have less of his great attacking. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see him trying to do too much and messing up the shape. He'll probably become a useful DM later in his career, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't believe we need him to sit deep in order to see the best of his defensive capabilities, I actually think they might be put to better use in a more forward thinking role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want him DM but he's forward enough. He's fine as he is. Hourihane is only useful as a final third player but don't particularly want him starting XI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know TRO. i listen to talksport a lot, and Brazil has a lot of admiration for us. Always talks about us winning the European cup, and when we were 30-1 to get promoted, he took that bet on, saying we looked really good and that our position wasn’t a reflection of how good we were. Durham has also been very pro villa all season. Don’t get to hear much of Jim White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If Mcginn can perform in the Premier League the way he did in the Championship there will be a ridiculous bid coming in for him next summer from Man City. He is a pretty unique player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes we fall folly of hearing a pundit say something bad about us and think they hate us. I live in Oz so I don't hear everything everyone says, but I listen to a lot of Talksport and I like it. The only person I can't stand is Jim White, there are others that I'm not fond of but he is the only one I switch off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching his highlights majority are him dispossessing opposition ball carrier in the middle third, mostly in our half. I don't want to lose this important attribute and neither will Smith. He has energy and positioning to go on runs and recover back. He's fine as he has been played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
