Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

….nice to see this deal making the main Sky News this morning, certainly a high-profile bit of business.

Excited as I am for this signing, I am keen to see how / where Moyes uses him and at whose expense in the team.

You wouldn’t have thought so yesterday, Englands most expensive player on the move was 3rd or 4th down the page.
If he was going to a London team it would have been the headline.

He’ll play at Jake’s expense. At right back. So few teams play someone like Grealish at right back. Be a real breath of fresh air.

We could sign Mbappe mate and the media would give it thirty seconds before switching to a fifteen minute discussion about United trying to bid for a Brighton player followed by a thirty minute section discussing how exciting the transfer window is by just looking at the top 6 business.

I won't believe it till I've heard from Al Myers.

He will confirm it on TDD

Yeah I know that but they all seemed to have been signed to fill in gaps and you can see where they are going to be playing. We've signed KDH which also makes sense and is a nice bit of balance. Why not continue in that vien instead of wasting money on a loan for Grealish. Also where is he going to play exactly and does he fit into the team?!

He will play as the 10 behind the striker is my guess with him and Ndiaye interchanging

It's a pretty big deal if we're honest.

I think we’ve done well to get it done, and it appears Jack really wanted the move as well.

Exciting and a statement signing - hopefully shows other players what we are trying to do.

Got my fingers crossed he and all the new signings come in and smash it.

What’s his stats for giving you more control of a game? What’s his stats for taking pressure off the team by protecting the ball? What’s his stats for making space for other players when defenders double up on him?

People need to watch football rather than read numbers.

But if you’ve never played the game how can you understand what you're watching , that’s why they use stats

….fingers crossed, Matey. Hopefully Grealish is a ‘winner’ too.

Stats and how they are used/applied are nearly as bad as var and how they have ruined the fa cup in the modern game.

You don’t need stats to see a good player with the ball, you don’t need stats to see good skill, you don’t need stats to see good runs off the ball, you don’t need stats to see good organisation and teamwork, you don’t need stats to see great tackles/positioning/blocks by defenders.

You just need to watch the game.
