Completely different type of forward player that bring different things.

Different quality as well ?

Sancho is arguably the best player on the planet in the past year, so of course, but Grealish would improve any squad in the league.

Fair enough, but then again you do have Lingard in your midfield ?

He’s off to Bournemouth it seems ASAP.

Seems a strange choice to go froM Mann Utd to a team thats just been relegated, unless literally nobody else wanted him, though that wouldn't be a surprise.

My apologies - I meant Brighton. He spent time there on loan and apparently has good connections there still.
I'm not a fan of his as a player, never quite sure what he brings, but by all accounts he has had a tough time off the field family wise. We forget how normal problems can affect even very highly paid footballers. Hopefully this move will help him get sorted off the field as much as on.

i like him too (not 80m much though!), but hes a long long way down the list of what we actually need and even further down the list of what we can afford!

Grealish is a tippy-tappy player.
I wouldnt want him for free for what I've seen. Like Hazard, happy to "buy" fouls instead of sometimes trying to ride them to create something more substantial. Also gets caught on the ball too much, instead of seeing the pass instead as Souness alluded to. its not often you seen Keane / Scholes / Gerrard / Lampard caught on the ball as much as most times off-loaded it, had a shot, beat a man or built a move instead.

Cue Mane / Salah going down too easy examples.

The argument I’ve heard is that Grealish gets fouled so much because he’s on the ball so often and he doesn’t have the players around him to pass to and make the runs. I tend to agree with that. But of course here’s no guarantee he makes the step up if he does sign for a more ambitious club.Grealish is a tippy-tappy player.

I like Grealish I think he's a very good player but not worth the crazy fees being quoted. He'd improve in most of the big sides, I'm just not sure if he's got enough to take it to the next level of Salah,Mane,Sterling, Henderson etc

This isnt junior football giving lads a go, they've gotta be ready and that includes training. If the level isn't there they don't get a look in.

He's done well at Bournemouth in his opening prem season, so dont know where you get junior football from???

giving lads a go. That’s what happens in junior football.
you’re right he has but he needs to step up again in training.
id like a ready made player to add to the squad.

The stats for Grealish look good on paper in terms of creativity. 2nd most chances created in the league after De Bruyne, 2.5 key passes per game - joint 2nd behind KDB, pass success of 84.8% - higher than guys like De Bruyne and Maddison, 8th most completed dribbles in the league, also by far the most fouled player in the league, so read into those stats what you wish. I'd be interested to see how he would go at a big side where he's likely to see less of the ball than he does at Villa where he's very much the main man, but then conversely how his output would change when able to combine with better attacking options than he's got alongside him at Villa. I wouldn't be spending 60-80m to find out though

Don’t see how Man U are still interested in him with Fernandes and Pogba there. They also have a few good young attacking lads who could be very good.The stats for Grealish look good on paper in terms of creativity. 2nd most chances created in the league after De Bruyne, 2.5 key passes per game - joint 2nd behind KDB, pass success of 84.8% - higher than guys like De Bruyne and Maddison, 8th most completed dribbles in the league, also by far the most fouled player in the league, so read into those stats what you wish.
