Knockaert’s work rate is miles ahead of Grealish’s.
Good shout, he has a cracking missus as well.

Totally different players, playing a entirely different role.
Stephens - defensive midfielder, protecting the back 4, leading by example, providing height, power and a great tackler.
Grealish - ball playing AM, providing dribbles, goals, assists, but feigning injuries to win freekicks and to try and get opponents carded.

He does, although she'd defect in a heartbeat if her family wouldn't all be executed as a result. Must be like Princess Leah servicing Jabba the Hut.

Talking to a Villa fan at work today and they reckon he'll go for around £30 million !! I nearly spat my tea out laughing!!

He's good at getting players to kick him too.

If I was going to raid Villa (and they desperately need to generate cash under FFP rules) I would be looking to sign Jonathan Kodjia as the perfect fit for our front line options and a player with a great team ethic.

£30m in today's market is probably about right. He has 40 odd prem games under his belt and another 60 or 70 championship games. He has seemed to sort out the issues (lets remember, he was a 20 year old lad when these things were going on).
The playoff game the other day showed what a talent he is. Fulhams Plan A was to simply do a job on Grealish and rightly so. There's a reason they were targeting him.
Championship clubs are now buying players into the division for 15m+. One of the best young talents leaving it for £30m is nothing unexpected.

He reminds me a lot of Jack Wilshere - surging runs forward, always about to do something very very good, and then..........

Villa know, having now run out of parachute payments, that selling Grealish will indeed turn them into a Leeds United for the foreseeable.

Grealish has been sent off once in 5 years, I believe.
Now, before anyone jumps on this and says "You're comparing him to ZIDANE!?", No, I'm not.......but temperament doesn't always stop players reaching the top level.
Zidane got something like 14 career red cards and I believe over 10 of them were for violent conduct.

As far a temperament goes, I would say it's more the sulky looks and disinterested attitude when things aren't going his way. Having said that, I admire his football, he is talented and a lovely player to watch.
Completely agree, but I meant more towards his seemingly bad attitude rather than disciplinary record. He has a pretty bad record of getting caught being a bit worse for wear clubbing/celebrating after heavy defeats etc. and was brandished by his manager as 'unprofessional'.
I think perhaps more than anything, there was a moment on Saturday where he was looking like Villa's best (and only) bet to get back in the game and Fulham managed to deal with him, and he saw the red mist and probably should have been sent off. Now it's less about the colour of the card for me but more about him being able to keep his head and effect the game when things were going against his team. I hope he can move forward and become a good player that "grows up" but for me, currently, he looks like he'll either win you the game, or he'll be a massive part of throwing it away.

He's quality.
30 million is a joke. But 15-20 wouldn't surprise me. Doubt very much we'd be in for him though.
