I sincerely doubt Grealish goes anywhere as long as Villa are in the Premier League. Let's find someone who is LIKE Grealish, no?
Genuinely don't know where you are getting that from. I recall every start he had he looked quite good in. Sub appearences? Yeah, not as good. But he looked really good and showed a lot of promise when he was given a chance to start.
Again, when he started I think he was player of the match voted here every time. The lad knew where the goal was even if he didn't score a ton. Almost all of his shots were on target too. I'm not saying he was better than DCL or even suited here but to say he was crap would be disingenuous.I’m getting that from my eyes. Couldn’t trap a bag of sand, always tried some dumb skill when it wasn’t necessary. Sometimes he looked good but most of the time a donkey. His best appearance was his debut sub appearance when he cracked the post.
our main striker is one of the hottest strikers in the league, prob has a valuation of 100 mil and barely gets injuries
our backup striker will therefore prob only get 10 + mins at end of matches in the league or will play in cup games against lower opp
we therefore don't need to spend a huge amount of money on a backup striker but worst case scenario DCL gets a bad injury or something we need someone who could potentially step in for a while and perform
the worst thing we could do is spend 30-40 mil on a backup striker who barely gets a game like we did for Kean
if you look at some of the best strikers in our division right now, the majority came from the lower levels i.e. vardy, wilson, bamford, abraham, watkins etc
peteborough have produced some of the best strikers in recent years, they sold 25 year old ivan toney to brentford for 10 mil + addons last summer, he has 77 goals in his last 3 seasons, brentford might get promoted this season but even if they don't no way brentford sell him for less than what they sold Watkins for to Villa last summer which was 30 mil
so why not get those type of players straight from the producer
clarke-harris has 27 goals so far in his debut season at peterborough, ivan toney's best season was 26 goals in comparison.
we also have richarlison and king who can play in that support striker role so we can afford that risk to see if he can be like the next vardy for us
i'd rather take the punt
orsic maybe but he's 28I sincerely doubt Grealish goes anywhere as long as Villa are in the Premier League. Let's find someone who is LIKE Grealish, no?

yes, he's one of the hottest strikers around at the moment, could be the next vardySo you think if DCL gets injured our hopes should rest on Jonson Clarke-Harris, a man that has a grand total of 9 goals at Championship level with the last one being in 2016.
We are not signing Grealish so don't worry about it.look at man utd with fernandes and without fernandes
that's the difference a grealish could do for us
yes, he's one of the hottest strikers around at the moment, could be the next vardy
I don't necessarily disagree. I'm simply saying he showed real promise in glimpses. Unfortunately for us, it was a rarity.It’s a matter of opinion and my opinion was that he looked naff for us. Even somehow looked invisible against Fleetwood Town.
there's nothing wrong with lower league playersVardy was a 25-year old £1m punt for Leicester in the Championship.
Paul Mullin has 25 goals in League Two why don’t we throw a few mill at Cambridge whilst we’re at it. Dream strike duo.
That’s a lot of excuses for not looking very good in an Everton shirt.
Only Spud could go from League One Striker to Jack Grealish in the blink of an eye.sell kean for 50 mil
spend 10 mil on a backup for DCL like Jonson Clarke-Harris
gives us 40 mil profit to put towards the jack grealish fund
I think if you gave Kean another 1000 mins in our first team, he would better DCL stats.
He had 31 Premier League appearances over 2 seasons but played only 847 mins and got 2 goals and 2 assists - aged 19. So he hardly started any games so mainly came on to chase a game.
Compared to DCL (17/18)
32 appearances / 1873 mins : 2 goals & 7 assists - aged 19
I think if you gave Kean another 1000 mins in our first team, he would better DCL stats.
So yeah circumstances or excuses, just like how he is scoring more at PSG at the highest level.
