PaulC Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 2 hours ago, TRO said: The game is so much faster now and with the pitch being the same size, consequently, there is not so much space to play in.....first touch, is crucial, movement and athleticism is at an all time high. I have been watching the game since the late 50's and there have been some great players as you have already mentioned......but Jack is an Artist, I am not saying as good as Best and Gascoigne, but not far off IMO.....perhaps more like Rodney Marsh or Stan Bowles, even Alan Hudson. Its very ,very difficult to be a player like jack and secure the consistency, he does....He is truly special to be able to do that.....He is irreplacable, we would never find another Jack......and for him to leave, would be like moving Big Ben to say Milton Keynes......He is at Home and its where the heart is.....I never want him to leave. He is the best ever offensive player, for us IMO. Nice comparisons. Back in the day you had more players like the ones you mentioned who would hold onto the ball and take players on but you had more time then so players like Jack are few and far between now. Hazzard and Messi are two others but there aren't many around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Had this from my West Ham supporting mate earlier when he was telling me Rice was better than Grealish... “I prefer him obviously. I think grealish is really only likeable if he plays for you. Dives too much to be liked by fans of other teams. Rice has more respect” Thought you’d like a giggle.

Keyblade Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 They don't want to admit it. It pains then to see Aston Villa producing a world class talent like that, not only that but still playing for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re talking about a world class footballer versus a good young player who sits in front of the back 4, takes it off the left back and gives it to the right back. Kalvin Phillips is better than Declan Rice. I’ve watched so much football this season and honestly haven’t seen any other player that can do what Jack Grealish can do with a football. The only one that comes close is Salah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Is there any player, literally, in the world you’d swap Jack for, right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Messi was 5 years younger, then him of course. But yeah, it's mental to think we have one of the best players in the world playing for us. Like the Euro's this summer, if he plays and England do decently I'm fairly confident he'd get player of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about England’s best player sitting on the bench watching Rice, Sancho and Mount playing. Grealish is head and shoulders above every player aside from Kane and perhaps Sterling. Has to start. Just play him behind Kane with Sterling and Rashford out wide. So, so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) When you watch players like Havertz and Werner play, you honestly wouldn’t accept less than 100/120m for Grealish. Mind the windows, Timo. Edited December 21, 2020 by Delphinho123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him playing in the hole like he has for us these past 2 games with Rashford/Sterling/Sancho either side of him and Kane in front of him. Absolute carnage. But no, expect to see a defensive 5-2-3 with Grealish's place in it very much up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On current ability, though, I’m really struggling to think of a single player I’d rather have in my team. Which is crazy, brilliant and utterly scary at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) The fact that Grealish is so much hated by other clubs proves how good he is. Was the same with Henry. They are hating so much on him because they are envious of us. Edited December 21, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Keyblade, the lad is living the dream. Amazing ability, all the limelight, killer looks and Captain of the club he loves whilst being managed and coached by fellow Villans. It's all easy for him and he's personally dragged this club back to where it belongs and now moving it higher. I can't wait for the day we see Jack Grealish lifting a trophy whilst wearing the Captain's armband. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
