One line mention of Garner from O'Neil in today's Independent: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-31149627.html
Quote:
O'Neill did confirm that the eligibility of Preston's Joe Garner is being explored, a 26-year-old striker who has a good record in League One but wouldn't set the pulses racing like Bamford would.
Apparently Chelsea are preparing a long term deal for Bamford. Not sure if this is concrete though, always a bit dubious when there are no quotes and it's the Daily Mail!
Norwich v Middlesbrough is live on Sky tonight, should be very interesting.
I know it's the Indo, but has Mack Squealish definitely committed to us? Reading this article it gives that impression.http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-31153881.html

Quote from a Preston Fans website:
He doesn't qualify.
Garner's grandparents - W Garner & J Batty & J Harker & J Bartrupe were all born in Lancashire between 1935 & 1941. Any idiot with 5 spare minutes who knows how to navigate Lancashire BMD can find that information out.
Either way, it's a bit of an insight into O'Neill's thinking. The Villa v QPR was massive, against seasoned pros, and Grealish was every inch at home.Quote:

Both winter and mcnulty saying greahlish is completely unfazed, relaxed and calm on the ball. I'm sure he could handle an Ireland v Scotland game.
Just set up Delph to put Villa 2-1 up, though Delph still had work to do.
We should cap him against England. It won't tie him, but he'd be kneecapped by the English hardcore if he then went on to play for England :)
Just setup Delph. could be back to the England debate after all. :D
Stephen hunt answers the question asked on here many times in a perfectly Stephen hunt way.Quote:

And again, just now, his performance has been singled out.
Rave reviews as out him on bbc website from today's game, grealish fever is about to go into overdrive
He was very good. A few lapses in concentration and lost the ball with a few lazy passes but he really is nice to watch play. We need to cap him now.
yea heard some good comments on bbc radio 5 live. Only saw a bit of the game on a choppy stream, sort of assist for 2nd?
Played a part in build up to 1st down the left.
Not sure what this is about? Or my quote, clicking the link to what you've quoted takes me to a different post altogether...Quote:

Quote:
Steven Gerrard
Perhaps forced back into action too soon, after Lucas Leiva’s injury, the former England skipper was given the run around by Jack Grealish. 6
Quote:
Jack Grealish
Despite wearing his socks far too low, Jack Grealish impressed once more. Tim Sherwood has got grand designs for the young talent and you can see why. 9

Feed the beat and he will score. The Belgian hotshot has been in stunning form since Sherwood’s arrival at Villa Park and he continues that today. 7
Quote:
Fabian Delph
A menace, undoubtedly, but Fabian Delph will always have his physicality called into question. Sometimes liable to overcompensate, as we saw when he risked a penalty on Raheem Sterling, the England man put in a good shift. 8
Gerrard was recalled, as expected, but his influence was virtually non-existent in a first half where Villa were the more relaxed and confident side, exemplified by the strolling composure of Grealish and the power of Benteke.
Did you write that yourself! Very prosaic and, it pains me to say, very accurate. That's exactly how I'd describe Grealish. He just loves the ball.
Loves the ball and loves Villa. He's really a kid living out his dream- as his twitter demonstrates. He probably won't be able to sleep with excitement before the FA Cup final.
