Doesn't make a lot of sense, no way can you have Maddison and Grealish in the same midfield - too similar. So, erm, what odds Maddison leavin then?

Grealish off the left wing and Maddison in centre midfield.

You could just about get away with the two of them in the same midfield too, they are not identical players.
 
Realistically what's he costing in January? I think he's what we need but considering where Villa are/January our clear desperation at what cost is going to be accepted.

What if he doesn't want to move in January?
 
Been really impressed by him this season, he seems to have knuckled down a bit and focused more on his football.

The only downside is that he plays predominantly from the left and has had his best games there this season. I'm not sure we need another left sided attacker, but if we think he'd suit a more central role then I'd be happy to bring him in.
 
I'd have him here in a heartbeat if he wants to come. I've not read or heard anything that says he wants to come unfortunately.
 
I don’t think Grealish needs to be a left sided attacker. I think he’d be great as the spare in a midfield 3, replacing Pogba. He’d need a good player behind him and maybe McTominay on the other side.

I think he‘s as, if not more talented than Maddison.

It's called having depth in midfield especially if you have ambitions to qualify for the CL season after season.
 
The guy stuck with them in the Championship. Very unlikely he'd leave his hometown club in the middle of a relegation battle.

I talked to his mum, who talked to his nan, who talked to his supermarket cashier lady who said he bought red tomatoes the other day...make of that what you will.

No chance he’s coming in January. After that who knows but I reckon he might stay there one more year minimum if they stay up.
 
He’s got some fire in his belly for starters - can’t see this one happening yet but if he continues then definitely worth looking at down the line - put him in the middle with enough around him then he’d look good though - just wonder if not being the main man would affect him though - he looks like he likes to get stuck in and plays with passion - and boy do we need some more of that at the moment......
 
What worries me about Grealish is that he doesn’t really play in a position that we require! Will we be left with a Juan Mata mark two that needs to be shoehorned into the side in a position which isn’t his best?

We really need a high pressing attacking midfielder that plays centrally- Grealish doesn’t play like that and his best position (the left) we already have three decent options! I think Maddison or Bruno are both better options for our needs!
 
Lots of criticism in here but I really like him, looks class and has a winning mentality and leadership qualities.

We are playing Pereira/Lingard in the position he should be playing.

Pass please, he's not good enough to be a world class attacking asset.

I have no idea what world we are in where Fernandes isn't good enough but jack grelish is.

I suspect that if he changed his name to Grealishio, you would be more enthusiastic. This Fernandes, proven in the Premier League is he? Ive never heard of him, but plenty of exotic sounding foreign players have come and bombed. If I was a Man Utd fan, I would be willing the Grealish move to happen.

Seems to be a strong and determined character....rare commodities at OT these days.
 
I like him. He is young, hungry, creative and talented. Lingard doesn't work as a number 10 and Grealish can fill that role. Right now he looks better than Maddison who will be overpriced and is right now not as consistent with his end product.

We should give Villa Lingard plus 20m.

If this was fifa, then yes - But realistically, there is absolutely no chance villa are taking on Lingard's wages.

I do think we should go all out for Grealish though - His work rate is fantastic. I'd rather us sign him than Maddison to be honest (I wouldn't complain at either!)
 
He reminds me of Robert Pires. He's taken the weight of his club on his shoulders and doesn't wilt, a good character.
 
Would absolutely love him and his punchable cnut face here. Can't see it happening in January though, unless he has some sort of release clause in his contract.

That's a problem with Lingard. Not many teams are going to be stupid enough to pay him £100,00 a week.

You think they would take it? I recall people in the Caff, saying that you should give us “Jones or Rojo”, plus some crumbs for Maguire. Villa dont need the money. They need Grealish. If you want him, you’ll have to pay what they ask, again!

Grealish loves Villa, he’s proven it. He wouldnt leave them in the shilo. Youre just not the draw you were , these days.
