He doesn't. People just need to understand what he's saying and not make lazy comparisons.

What next? "If you don't want to be compared to your brother, then you shouldn't play for England."

He's his own man. Judge him on his own merits. That's the message. It's that simple.

Aye ‘yeah you can’t play for Real, the biggest club in the world cos your bro did’.

**** off man. Dortmund is a stunning move for him to a phenomenal football club.

I agree with you but football fans and the media don’t think like that and will continue forever to compare him to Jude. That was always going to be the case but will have increased because he’s chosen Dortmund.

I think it’s why he was such a success with our fan base. We never compared him to Jude. Birmingham fans did because they experienced both and so were never able to shake it. I reckon Dortmund fans will be similar.

I really feel for him as he doesn’t deserve it and should be treated as his own player. That’s why I just wish another German club had been where he went next.

He fits at Dortmund though. Nmecha hasn’t established and Gross is ageing and fading.

He will play. Been harder for him to play at Frankfurt over Skhiri and Larsson, or Leipzig over abut 8 CM.

Best club, best fit for him.

Oh absolutely it’s a tremendous move. I’m just talking about the unfortunate consequence of it.

He needs to hit the ground running to confound those expectations. I’m sure he will.

Dortmund for all it’s a huge club it’s working class fans like us and Brum.

They fail often and should be so much more but the fans are loyal and back their team.

He will thrive there, I’m certain of it.

We be seeing plenty of our Jobe on Bundesliga highlight reels next season.

Grealish will be on something like £250k per week won’t he? We don’t have a prayer. I know we have to think bigger now we’re in the premier league but we also do need to remember we’re “just” in the premier league. There’s levels. We need to become an established PL club and even then we’d have to stretch to be able to afford someone like Grealish

depends how much he wants a move

he needs games for the world cup

comes here hes guaranteed them in comparison to a move to fulham etc, but the move to fulham arguably better footballing decision

and besides, cover half the 250, whats that, 7.5 for the season for an england international

again, depends how much he stamps his feet. believe he will be stamping but for his goal of making the england squad i dont think sunderland is a good decision

Grealish has always wanted to play.

He likes the life and he likes the luxuries but on the park he is a scrapper, and a match winner.

I think he potentially ends up back at Villa personally.

he needs to go somewhere we he can be a maverick again and being a maverick doesnt have to come at the cost of work rate, defensive duties etc

cant knock what pep has acheived but hes moulded players into very specific cogs and whilst its brought them success he aint half reformulated some players.

did they really need to spend 100m on grealish to get him to do what they wanted and have him doing? they paid 100m and neglected all his attributes bar his ability to be part of a team.
