With Aston Villa starlet Jack Grealish again taking the headlines and former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp recently saying that he hoped we would reignite our interest in him over the summer, it’s caused a bit of a stir on social media as you can imagine.
With the usual outlets taking full advantage of transfer rumours during the March international break, Grealish continues to be an easy go-to – especially given the summer shenanigans where I think everyone accepts we missed out on him as we weren’t quick enough to agree a suitable price given the situation Villa found themselves in.
There’s no concrete claims, which is par for the course, but he is in fine form following his return from injury and from the outside he looks to have kicked on an extra level when it comes to his influence on matches now.
The transfer fee now might be more of an issue, but I think he’d thrive under manager Mauricio Pochettino and although for me, a different type of player to Christian Eriksen, that doesn’t mean in time he wouldn’t be as key for us down the line.
Cracking player for me and should be in England squad

Absolutely. A class above anyone else in the Championship. Just look at Villa’s form with and without him

I watched him more this season and he appears to have matured and filled out a bit. Influences games much more. I was a sceptic in the Summer but I’d be happy with him now.

Why pay £20m when you can wait a year and pay £40m?!
