Grealish All That?

Page 4 of 7

posted on 8/6/21

people can argue whether grealish is better than pogba - not seen it myself, nor has the CL/EL, nor the international stage - but spending £80m for what would be at best a marginal upgrade seems stupid.

as for the op, i agree with him, the guy's a good player, but boy have i seen some wild claims about him recently.

Grealish is better than Pogba though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok that's your opinion but what is it based on?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's opinion based on that he isn't a top player?

The fact that he plays for an average team and they should have gone down due to a goalline technology issue last season.

indeed, and there was barely a murmur on the united board to that effect.

equally the time to sell pogba was 2 years ago, not when he has 12 months left on his contract.

not to mention that they don't actually play in the same position, grealish would come in to replace rashford, he doesn't play in midfield for villa.

And Salah was kicking about at Roma. I'm not sure of the point here.

The fact that he hasn't proven anything at a high level. I mean if I was being harsh i'd point to the fact that he's played in 2 cup finals for Villa and disappeared but to be fair that IS harsh.

He's not proven anything so to say he's a top player is just not true.

But what has Pogba done at United to deserve the title "World Class"? A number of good performances that I could probably count on my hands?

He can't help if Villa aren't a top club at the moment, but why does that impact his ability as a footballer? He's a top player playing in a team that isn't a top team. That happens frequently, that's usually where most of the big teams get there players from. The top players in sides that are not top teams.

I doubt he'll be going to Utd anyway. If he leaves Villa it'll be to win trophies I'd have thought.

yeah i seems top teams dont even bother with scouting. they'll just wait till brentford or brighton or southampton unearth a gem.

Grealish is everything a football fan should want in a player.

Drives at defences, great passing, works his ballacks off, has flair, scores goals, assists, top character, draws in fouls.

I'd swap him for Rashford in a heartbeat. Top player who I wanted to sign when Villa were promoted.

If Grealish goes to City, he will be one of their players of the season next year. Bookmark.

Where do they usually scout do you think?

Pogba has been class for United for years. People just don't like him because of his lifestyle and agent. Watch him play, he's absolutely world class but gets the blame for everything at United. De Gea makes a mistake, Pogba's fault. Lindelof scores an OG, Pogba's fault.

Pogba is world class.

The media are all over him because he's English and they choose to look past his petulant diving as well as some of his idiotic behaviour off the pitch.

I completely disagree. He would flop at City or United against teams who deny him space. He's not this top footballer.. Rashford is so much better than Grealish it's untrue.

I do watch him, he's a very good talent, technically one of the best players in the PL. But what's he done at United to earn the title world class?

Going through your own argument here, Bruno Fernandes cannot be classed as a top player because he hasn't won anything at United.

posted on 8/6/21

Also Busby, to say he's a top character is totally untrue. The guy gets behind the wheel drunk, do you really think kids should look up to him??

But at the highest level Bruno and Pogba have excelled. Bruno has bullied Liverpool before, Pogba has bullied City. Bruno has done it in Europe, Pogba has done it in Europe at Juve and United. Pogba is a World Cup winner.

Can't say anything for Grealish here...

But yet you've just argued that Pogba receives a load of flack because of his lifestyle and you've just criticised Grealish for his lifestyle?

Pogba hasn't done anything illegal or been hauled to court for idiotic driving offences....

Bruno has done what in Europe? Reached a EL final and didn't win it. Bruno has also sulked off at Anfield after being non-existent, we can all point to one off incidents.

Bullied liverpool? Are you high, and saying pogba payed 1 good game against city in 5years isn't saying much

i'm pretty sure that if grealish pulled his most recent stunt at united there'd be calls from across the land to punish him. and i imagine we'd have to leave him out of the squad for a few games to satisfy the blood lust, whereas he can get away with it at villa.

If Grealish played in the UCL and just scored a goal then a statue would be made of him. If Grealish reached a EL final and lost it, the media would go into mourning.

What's Grealish done at Anfield then?? Bruno practically scored at Anfield but Becker made one of the saves of the season. He also did similar to deny Pogba.
