2025/26 Jack Grealish

[ArtetaMoney]

If he stays he’ll be captain or vice captain within a season I reckon.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

That’s encouraging. It’s absolutely imperative we keep Ndiaye, Branthwaite, KDH and add a few more. This sort of thing can only help.

@davek

Not exactly conclusive is it?

 

[PeregrineT]

I suspect he WOULD like to stay for the right money.

But that will be the biggest issue, what actual wages are we talking about. If it was reasonable, then yes, keeping him KDH, Ndiaye and Garner would go a huge ways towards building a european squad. We would be a striker and midfielder away from a really dangerous front 6.

I'm not sure you can have him, Ndiaye, and KDH in the team at the same time tbh, it's all far too slow at times. If we do want too keep Grealish (I wouldn't personally) then Id be tempted to cash in on Illy in the summer and replace him with a pace merchant on that side.

 

[Toffeelover]

Lets hope he does not anything stupid again to collect a red.

Good players attract good players

Make it happen

 

[Drico]

If we’re going to add other quality players, yes. If we’re going to sign him and continue to ignore the canyons dotted around our side, nope.

Id suggest maybe you just can't do that with the current squad. If we had a properly quick striker, and two actual fullbacks it may look far different.

We want to transition from a lower table club that sits in, and tries to counter with someone like Beto on the break....to a dominant force that now has to break down other teams. Speed is always useful, sure, but it's more useful in a team that can't keep possession. Some might suggest we will get more points from being better at breaking down teams in the box.

I’ll be absolutely gutted when we inevitably lose Illy in the summer.

I disagree with the above though, I think if we actually had attacking fullbacks then Grealish and Illy would be devastating. Also, when played with KDH Grealish was much more effective because KDH’s movement off the ball is so much better than our other attacking mids

Couldn't disagree more, all full backs will do is stand there waiting for lay offs so they can ping crosses into the box, Its a very predictable way of playing and straight out of the Moyes playbook. Id rather lose Grealish and build a team around Ndiaye, Grealish is a luxury player who is fine for a season but not a prema signing imo.
