Put Jack Grealish up there alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek for gamers that I’ve an actual tender spot for.
Like Ruben, I simply love watching Jack play soccer. He’s majestic, magical, class, skillful, high quality, and simply glides alongside the pitch with ease, so much like Ruben does.
My unique information from earlier within the week reporting that Chelsea have mentioned Grealish internally as a possible possibility in the summertime switch market actually blew up yesterday and had everybody speaking.
I completely admire different views on this, however signing Grealish could be a no brainer for me, so long as the wages and charge additionally labored and weren’t too extortionate. Perhaps they might be, and possibly that might rule it out earlier than it even gathered tempo. But when there’s an opportunity, a chance, and a sensible shot at getting Grealish for the best value and wages, then we fairly merely HAVE to be ALL over it.
He’s bought luggage of expertise, within the Premier League, Europe, and at worldwide stage. He has expertise of being a membership captain. And he has management qualities. All these items are what we’d like and are lacking. We have to steadiness the squad with confirmed and high quality expertise, and Jack is your man, or ONE of your guys.
I feel it’s very lazy to say he could be one other Raheem Sterling simply because he’s a Manchester Metropolis participant that it appears like Pep Guardiola could be ready to promote. You already know who else was a Metropolis participant that Pep Guardiola was ready to promote? Cole Palmer. However no one needs to say that comparability?
The very fact is, Jack Grealish is a very totally different participant to Raheem Sterling. Jack remains to be concerned within the England squad, Sterling hasn’t been for months now. Jack is a MUCH higher participant than Sterling and at all times has been in my view. He’s a distinct kind of participant and has much more in his locker. He needs to be beginning for England however Gareth Southgate exists.
He can dribble, take gamers on, has an important eye for a lot of totally different vary of passes, he can rating a world class objective, and he’s the form of participant who has that x-factor and might make one thing occur from nothing, like Palmer.
He might genuinely grow to be Chelsea’s OTHER talisman. Give him the keys to Stamford Bridge, give him that freedom, again him, enable him to be an essential participant for Chelsea like he was at Aston Villa, and he’ll thrive as soon as once more simply as he did there.
Truthfully, he was among the best on the planet throughout that interval. And he hasn’t misplaced that high quality, he’s simply advised to play in a sure manner at Metropolis, and he additionally has competitors from world class superstars. At Chelsea, who could be his critical competitors? Precisely…. Give him an actual position once more the place he can thrive, the place he can really feel essential, and also you’d see the above Jack once more, I’ve ZERO doubts.
I had MANY doubts about signing Sterling, and I used to be vocal with that. I don’t have any about signing Jack.
And it’s not as if he’s even been dangerous at Metropolis in any respect, removed from it…
Granted, he’s a little bit of a jack the lad, however so was Diego Costa and plenty of different prime Chelsea gamers from the previous. These personalities are sometimes wanted in a membership for morale and steadiness. Paul Gascoigne is my favorite ever participant, and everyone knows what he was like off the pitch, however he was nonetheless among the best to ever do it and no one would have turned down signing him on the time. Mockingly, Grealish jogs my memory of Gazza in the way in which he performs and carries the ball. Each absolute ballers.
Look, I do not know if we’ll even try to signal him, however he has been mentioned. It could result in nothing. He is likely to be too costly, his wages is likely to be an excessive amount of, after which so be it, that one shall be over. But when there’s an opportunity and the figures are OK, then completely we MUST go for it.
