You guys clearly do not know what you are talking about here , to be fair .
He has been brilliant since he was a teenager - he was unfortunately with a very poor struggling team and when they did eventually get relegated he stayed with them instead of jumping ship - then more or less carried them back to the PL . He is been carrying them for the last 6 years or so . He?s a born and bred Villa lad who has just got to the stage where if he?s gonna be an England STARTER - he has to move to a top team .
mate, i don't shit on the guy. just think he isn't worth that much and don't find him exceptional.
also, he seems to be the classic type of english player that isn't willing to leave his comfort zone.
you can't argue that if he was the dogs bollocks, many clubs would have jumped on him 5-6 years ago. probably because he pulled some stupid shit outside the pitch?
anyway, it's city's money not mine.
Loan with buy option wouldn't be bad. They certainly can afford him. Would be a good redemption opportunity for Cou.
Comparisons with Figo, well there are some "visual" similarities.
But what concerns me about Grealish is that Southgate used to sub him even when he would enter the match in the 80th minute.
Either Southgate was horribly wrong or Grealish has some huge flaws.
We'll figure it out at City.
Figo at Barca was 50% of a team.
Players used to say: whenever we didn't know what to do, we would just pass the ball to Figo and he would create something out of nowhere.
About Figo, I watched some old videos from Barca now and it is funny to see how a lot of these old generation of players used dribbles to score goals and get assists.
Aka = dribbles were a weapon for wins and end product.
While these new gen of players like Neyclown, Pogclown and similar are using tricks mostly for entertainment, Youtube compilations and to humiliate opponents.
They can?
I'd assume so. Why not?
Having spent about 100M (Buendia, Ings and Bailey) already in this window while selling for 5? Grealish wont cover it all for them.
How is it that you managed to make this a "back in the old days" type post, AGAIN?
And secondly, most of the skills and dribbles in the video you posted didn't actually result in either assists or goals. lol
