Linked to a loan to Paul Cook's Chesterfield in League Two. I'd be slightly surprised by that after Burke and Carruthers both went to League One, but then again they have first team experience.

Kevan, (I'm assuming it really is his brother) is indicating two Championship clubs are interested in a loan deal and posters on villatalk are guessing which club it might be. It seems Charlton and Brighton are the two and an announcement will occur very soon.

Yeah, he's Jack's brother, he posts on YBIG as well
No harm to the lad, but if my brother was playing professional football at such a level, the last thing I'd be doing is parading all his business around internet fora.
He's also said on it, that while Jack has committed to the Under 21's, he's very much undecided about his senior career - even though we seem to be winning the race at the moment - lets hope it stays that way.Quote:

Second goal in particular is excellent.
Third goal wasn't spectacular but showed really good composure to take it around the keeper and the defenders on the line.Quote:

possibly, if Noel King is given the job as a caretaker. he called him into the u21's and convinced him he was going to be an integral part of the team
Is he that good; ready for senior international football already?Quote:

Grealish does not have Mcgeadys tricks or his acceleration/pace and he completely lacks physical presence but he has a a football intelligence aligned with excellent technical ability that makes his age irrelevent.
Grealish as the number 10 behind a lone striker would with no disrespect to wes bring us to another level. This lad is made for international football and the offensive freedom that allows. Look at alaba for austria the other night he played with utter freedom, no tracking/marking responsibility and no semblence of defensive duty and no concern with losing possesion in an attempt to unlock defences. Grealish is the only talent I can see that we have who has the ability to justify that freedom. And no for all the reasons I said above and on the basis of Lamberts love of pace and power I dont think we will see much of him at villa this season
I think it's a bit premature to be talking him up for the senior squad when he's only just begun troubling the U21s.
You have a rare chance to give a lad who has the kind of talent we get once maybe in a generation some competitive game time and have him in the fold nearly a year before the next serious international fixture. Where is the downside?Quote:

I'm not talking down his talent at all, I just think we need to be a bit realistic and say he has exactly 0 games of senior football to his name and throwing him in against Germany might not be a great idea.
Looks to be signing on loan at Notts County today, could make his debut against MK Dons tomorrow
And crazy post of the year goes to...........this guy!!! As great a talent he may be how many senior games has he played yet?
How you can make an assumption and elevate him above an experienced PL player like Hoolohan is beyond me. Plus I don't get what you are saying about the Alaba comparision playing for the best team in Europe
Regardless of whether Grealish makes it or not your post highlights the hype and unrealistic expectations that is afforded to some young promising players (Based on youth underage football) and then the shock horror when they don't become a top player because they weren't that good in the first place
confirmed, three month loan deal: http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/...r-1050923.aspx
Listen if you dont agree fair enough not much need for the melodramatics. I was wondering would he get 15 minutes against the Khazakhstan not start against Germany. In a years time id hope he would be in a position to be a regular starter and I think been in the squad and getting a run out in a competitve game will only aid that development. The point about Alaba was that if you allow your most creative player to have no defensive duties like Austria did then the risk of playing a young player in that position is not that signnificant certainly not for 15 minutes against Khazakhstan. You have to try your best to develop special players and this is one of the rare opportunities we will have to develop a special talent with minimal risk and have him on board for many future campaigns.Quote:

I don't think that would hurt his development at all and would secure him as well.
He can grace the senior team when he's ready and good enough. If he's committed, he'll be committed. I find something a bit desperate and unprofessional with dangling carrots and token caps. Who's supposed to be exercising control?Quote:

2-0 down when he came on ended 3-1, so a 1-1 draw for the time he was on which sounds good for him.
His younger brother looks a prospect too, maybe we could get him capped in the remaining qualifiers too?
Looks like he could do a job at centre back making headed clearances.

Presumably this is the brother who posts on YBIG who some here have been laying into ;)

Jack Grealish
@JackGrealish1
Professional footballer for Aston Villa and Republic Of Ireland! Currentley on loan at Notts County
Note the fada over the 'A' in Seán. His allegiances are clear. Calling up this Irish son so quickly would be futile; he's forever ours.
Call him up Trap!!!
Helped Notts court get their first win. Was decent it seems from the bbc report
http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=211214825 0
Sounds like good stuff there - hopefully he will keep it going and it's great he is getting 1st team experience as its a step up in intensity and physicality from reserve or u19 football.Quote:

In the star today. Enjoying his time with Ireland and hoping longterm for a call up for England. Dosent go into why doolin fell out with him and is not picking him for the 19s. He could I think be capped by england this season at under 19s as he was not picked for our 19s even though he has played for the 21s. Class footballerQuote:
