Howe has seen that now and phased him out. 10-12 million probably only for a promoted team as the other teams have better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I don't believe the Grealish rumours at all But if we got him, surely it would be for the LCM spot? I'm sure Pep never plays him there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are great at doing down our own players, he was a critical player for a team that finished 4th and 7th over the past two seasons. Yes he hasn’t played much since the turn of the year, but that is due to their being a better option in Tonali, rather than Longstaff being utterly bobbins. He's a better player than many on here give him credit for, just much like Willock he no longer fits into the way we play and the club has outgrown him. He will go elsewhere and be a success, I’ve no doubt. Edited May 14 by Ghandis Flip-Flop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places like Nottingham Forest, Everton, or Crystal Palace would be perfect for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played an important part in previous seasons but he's not very good at all. 10 million is on the money I think. If he was looking back in form Howe would have used him more.

Conjo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 A Grealish with the Pep shackles removed playing in a free-ish role as part of a midfield 3 rather than a winger, kind of like he did at Villa(?), could be great. As a left winger I prefer Barnes and Gordon. Grealish right now appears like a slower version of our Damien Duff. Carries the ball a few meters, dribbles inside without getting past anyone then passes the ball backwards, rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Not a chance Grealish works hard enough to tick the huge boxes we need. He's not shit but he's not a Newcastle player based on what Howe needs and wants. It's a ridiculous link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ridiculous link The lad has ability and I trust Eddies coaching to bring the best out of him - the only way I can see it working though is if we are selling Barnes and he's competition for Gordon for the LW slot Edited May 14 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izakaya Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) 4 hours ago, BennyBlanco said: Very very popular rumour that Grealish is basically a functioning alcoholic. There’s cheaper, hungrier players out there with less baggage out there imo. Fantastic on his day but he’s a bit of a circus. Agree with this. Vacant eyes of a pisshead. Seems like a pretty weird dude too. What you would call BTEC in every sense. If he wasn't a footballer he'd have a 3 French bulldogs, a grey crushed velvet settee, range rover evoke on tick and a 'yarden' with fake grass. Edit/ He probably still has all those things. Depth of a puddle of spit. Edited May 14 by Izakaya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 3 hours ago, GallowgatePigeon said: I know he gets a bit of a bad rap cause he comes across as a bit of a dope and the whole Almiron thing etc but Jack Grealish is a good guy. He helps out a lot with charity, fans who've met him often say how approachable and down to earth he is. If money wasn't a factor, he'd be perfect for us, an exciting flair player, a big personality and a canny lad. Unfortunately, money is a factor, so it's a non starter. The old Jack Grealish, yes. This current version of Jack Grealish has had the flair and excitement completely rinsed out of him. He's as boring as watching paint dry now.

Sure. Given his recent form, to play regularly here, he would, ahem, have to pull his socks up. Edited May 15 by Coffee_Johnny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
