Grealish

He does get overrated by a lot of people, to be fair.

I won’t count Bumble because he’s a Villa fan, and is reeetarded, but a lot of other people echo his sentiments.

I think he’s brilliant, but having a free role in a shiiiiit team in Villa is one thing, playing at the biggest clubs with different demands - particularly from a tactical perspective - is another.

If he goes to City he’ll need a lot of coaching to meet the demands needed. Similar thing happened with Mahrez, and he doesn’t look as good for them as he did for Leicester.

He doesn’t walk into any of the top four teams.

I think he does apart from City

Walks into the rest

I’m not sure who you think at United keeps him out of midfield?

Yeah as much as I love him I don't really get the city thing - it almost seems like they just sort of feel obliged to get him because he's good

He really doesn’t, though. Especially if you understand the needs of those teams and their coaches.

The reason we didn’t sign him last summer was because he wasn’t worth the money when we have Rashford and Bruno.

He’s probably better than Rashford, but not as a goal scorer or runner which is what’s needed on that left hand side. And he’s just not as good as Bruno as an attacking mid.

Similar situation with Liverpool’s wingers, and their midfield doesn’t use a player like Grealish.

There’s more of a case for Chelsea, but they need scorers and pressers more than creative players like him given how many chances they already create.

And City it’s obvious what the competition is. But they’re in such a strong position that they can make this signing and gradually adapt him to their team.

Being better than some players (arguably) doesn’t mean he just walks into the other teams, which is why they aren’t competing for his signature.

I can only see them signing him if Bernado leaves, possibly Mahrez.

Apparently Bernardo wants to leave. If Pep wants to go back to using two attacking mids regularly like he did with Silva and KDB, he might be used in that position.

I understand why they’d want him, but given they really need a centre forward and a left back it’s surprising they’ve not really thrown everything at those two positions.

Can’t see them getting Kane, Grealish and a left back.

Expected assists now

He's in the 97th percentile across europe for expected assists per 90 and then he's in the 99th percentile across Europe for both progressive passes and progressive carries per 90

So yeah clearly very overrated
