Hope it’s true grealish becomes our best player straight away.

I struggle to think where Grealish would fit in?

Obviously I know that not my job but I do wonder what his roll would be.

Upgrade on anyone we have up top

Left or central for me

Ndiaye looked great on the right yesterday.
A version of grealish that needs to impress for the World Cup would instantly elevate our team.
McAtee is exactly the type of signing we need.

Grealish——- McAtee——-Ndiaye

Grealish on the left, Ndiaye though the middle with Alcaraz as a back up for both. McNeil on the right and another new signing as an alternative. Though Grealish is versalite enough... Anyway, despite all this, still don't think it's ever happening

No 10
Easy for him

I can't see us signing Grealish, I really can't.

But if we did then yep he would have to play no 10.

That said I'd worry that a midfield of Gana , Garner and Grealish would be lightweight and lack legs.

The question is..Will Grealish do the "hard yards"

 

[ToffeeScot]

Both Ndiaye and Grealish are quality versatile players, and both would start in our 11
I disagree that Grealish looked meh also and only poor after the treble win and not getting the game time, but look at city's squad, it's easy to fall out of that regular 11 and still be a great player

I just don't see it. I'd prefer signing players with upside. I can see more sense in a McAtee deal than a Grealish one. Would also prefer not fannying about with versatility either. When a player has proven that he's good enough in one position then let them make it their own. Ndiaye has done that with LW, keep him there. Yes, he can move about if we have injuries but no point trying to fix something which isn't broken.

So people talking about relegation in August or going with what we have got in May - despite neither ever being correct - is that not a bit much, even to you? Cos that is where it starts.

It's maybe half a dozen people who go to those extremes. Just ignore them. By haranguing them, and scooping up others in your net, all you do is make the conversation last longer. Which, I'm guessing, is the opposite to the outcome you want.

Grealish has huge calves it’ll be fine

Mate, I literally turned Matty from eeyore (can’t be arsed spell) to tigger by haranguing him - not sure which version is worse tbh

Matty swings from high to deep. I'm not sure your intervention was the catalyst for change!

 

[Peter Leslie]

I personally think we should buy players who are 23 and under, Jack G would be the wrong type to buy, to expensive and to high wages

I'd agree. But we wouldn't be buying Grealish, just renting him for a bit...
As for wages... good players cost high wages, sooner or later. If we want a top six team we need a top 6 wage bill.
Not overnight, but eventually.

Matty swings

I thought I saw him on FetLife

I had to Google that!

…..have never understood the fuss re Grealish & just don’t see it happening.
