Not often I disagred with you mate, but I am going to here.

I look at the Grealish at Villa. Those first two seasons in the prem were outstanding. And the end product was there.

Pep has a habit, in my opinion, of showing the love to players then going off them quickly. I think that has happened here. Maybe there are good reasons for that, and I love Pep. For me though being a wide attacking player in a Pep system can be more about the assist for the assist, if that makes sense. Lots of ball rotation before the final ball etc.

Anyway, if by some miracle he lands here I would be over the moon. He would transform us in the final 3rd imo. Whether it be holding the ball while others join, beating a man to open space, winning free kicks in dangerous areas or finding that innovative pass. It is a while since we had a maverick to cheer and love, he would certainly be that.

Fair enough, I just don't think he's as good as some make out. I agree those 2 seasons were outstanding but they were 4 years a go now and that's my concern.

I am always wary of signings a player after they've had their big move and been at the top, often theyve lost that desire that got them to the top and performances fall away

Grealish should be looking for a deal in Europe imo, just get away for a bit and focus on his game rather than everything else that comes with being a PL footballer

My final point on Grealish, is i don't have anything against him as a player - yes I'm not as high on him as others are but he's still technically a brilliant footballer

My issue is we want to be signing players that make us a really good unit and im not sure a player like Grealish at his stage of his career is the right thing for us (or him).

Watching PSG (yes I know they spent loads on that team) and how they went away from signing superstars to signing players that fit into a system, is how we will be successful.

Anyway we wouldn't be after him anyway, his wages are ridiculous
