Sorry Dwight was good for one season , maybe two, was at his best for Manure but even then he was never as influential as Grealish and would never score goals like Jack has , tap ins For a large part of Dwight's villa career he played second fiddle to the likes of Atkinson .

He is very very good, but still closer to the bottom of his rapidly accelerating curve then he is the top. Other excellent players are still emerging, as they logically should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah about 20 or 30 De Bruyne, Aguero, Silva x2, Ederson Salah, Mane, Firmino, AA, Virgil VD just to name a few from two teams....never mind players like Vardy.

I doubt I’ll ever see somebody that good down Villa park again. I also still think there are other players that measure with Jack and that’s only because Jack is at the start of his greatness but the likes of Yorke and Merson were class at the top end of the table for us and there are others. Jack is on his way but it’s too early, we need to enjoy his brilliance as it grows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side of that mate is that if he gets in the England squad (and we stay up of course) he may be content staying with us for another season. He will probably leave in the summer anyway, but not getting in the England squad whilst with us may hasten his decision to bigger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as influential, he didn’t play second fiddle and he wasn’t just good, he was brilliant for us. He was a Holte End hero. I still remember broken heartedly the Everton game at their place, we still had a small hope he would stay and not go but the way he played we knew he was off. He was influential in a far better team....we all love Jack but don’t dismiss former players so easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 In my time of going down VP , approx. 50 years, I have seen only 2 truly world class players in our colours. Paul Mc Grath and Sir Jack, I don't know if you saw Andy Gray after last weeks game, but he completely summed up my views about Jack. He could get in any team in the world, and is worth at least £100m 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that's not the point really is it? Grealish is superb, he's untested at international level and he's not played on the Champions League but I'm pretty sure he's got the ability to do well in both. We are probably going to lose him this summer but the fee will be enormous if he keeps us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good.player but he was at the villa for nearly 10 years, came good in the last 2 and then forced a move. Grealish has dragged this team up for two seasons . He's influential all over the pitch and he's still young, Grealish is re writing the record books and we should all sit back and enjoy it. Dwight Yorke........na not for me., Grealish kicks his arse into touch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we stay up, the price is £100m please Mr. Woodward. Hey look I've just found us £50m to spend in January. N'Zonzi, get your arse to the airport.

I think there is merit in both comments. He was always good but he did really excel in his last couple of years for us when he was moved centrally and his game went up a level. However, Jack stands out more for me as Yorke had much better players around him. Jack gets the full treatment from the opposition and he often has to deal with 2/3/4 players surrounding him when he’s on the ball, whilst carrying us almost single handedly. Jack’s control of a football as he moves is the best I have ever seen. Now he is adding goals he is up there with the best I have seen play for the club. I wouldn’t swap him for any other current premier league player and certainly none in his age range. Those that said he was behind the likes of Mason Mount, which is ludicrous (that’s includes you Southgate) weren’t paying attention but they are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is best player we’ve had at Villa since? (I’d go Milner, but if he continues that form he could easily surpass that) We keep asking that question with the 'since' qualifier. How long until he's our best ever? Can't be too long now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
