    Kevin is Jacks brother and considers himself a paddy as well,absolutely not offensive as the Grealish family would consider themselves very Irish.As for Jack committing to Ireland for the near future,he is going to be around for a long time.It took some guts for a 15 year old boy,who is considered to be "the best prospect"that Aston Villa have produced in a long number of years to make this decision despite coming under an amount of pressure from his coaches,peers etc.It augers well for his future if this is the measure of resilience that he has.Well done Jack

    I'm not being smart but how are you so sure of this?

    I've read his brothers' comments as well and the impression I get from them is that he would be happier if he chose England....I might be wrong but that's the impression I get.

    few comments from him in the star today sayin how much he loves playing for ireland and how at villa they could put out an ireland team with all the irish lads including him in it. He has seemingly been extremely impressive for the 17s winning 2 peno s and been a creative force.

    Jack's brother just put this on the Villa Talk forums:

    "Hey guys Kev again,
    Ermm for those of you that dont know via jacks twitter or through anywhere else. Within the past hour Jack has been assigned a sqaud number and has been given the shirt number 41. He could be on the bench tomorrow against chelsea we have been told."

    With Petrov just being diagnosed with leukaemia (very sad news btw - seems a great guy, hope he gets better soon), seems there may be a first team opportunity for Jack and also perhaps Samir Carruthers who made the bench last week.

    Good news for Grealish & Carruthers.
    Shame it had to come from the bad news about Stan Petrov, I wish him all the best!

    Grealish, Samir Carruthers and Derrick Williams all make the Villa bench today. The side is packed full of young academy players - it wouldn't surprise me if one was to get a debut today.

    I hope that Villa do enough to stay up (and they probably will)

    If you are relying on Stephen Ireland to give backbone to your midfield you are be in trouble.

    Grealish has shown massive commitment to ireland over the last 2 years since he was a 14 yo playing for our under 15s turning down england at under 16 level and again last summer been named in an under 17 squad on the fa site and turning that down as well. He is our best prospect since duff/keane. He is one of the best prospects in the academy system in the uk for years. He is for instance a far better footballer than another winger sterling who played last week for liverpool and is a year older. He has been and will continue to be under massive pressure to switch allegiance to the fa. Paul doolin next season needs to ensure that he nurtures Grealishs committment to ireland and does not crush it with terrible man management skills like he showed last season with brady, duffy, mcginty, keane and mceleney. He would do well to use john morling the under 16/17 managers man management skills as a guide. Losing Grealish because he does not feel wanted or loved by a manager like Doolin would be unforgivable. The lad needs to have his committment matched and supported by management and the FAI

    I foresee this thread matching the James McCarthy one for irrational paranoia. Grealish has done absolutely nothing to suggest he's anything other than 100% committed to Ireland and Doolin has done absolutely nothing to suggest he's going to alienate him. I know inventing ludicrous scenarios is fun but cool your jets.

    True. It must be said though in Doolins defence he has not met Grealish yet!

    Jack tweeted recently that he wants Ireland to do well in the under 17 Euro's but that he wants England to win the senior one. Then there's the issue of the form being returned to the English FA.

    Grealish seems to be fairly happy in the Irish camp but the insecurity is mostly due to the fact that Grealish is comfortably talented enough to be making the underage English sides and could be viewed as having the potential to earn senior caps.

    Either this kid is on his way to united or going to play for England (or both), can't think of any other reason Rio would reach out to him and randomly take a kid and his fam to dinner

    Rio has an Irish grandmother too so maybe he regrets playing for England and wants to ensure Jack doesn't make the same mistake

    Any link to this anyway?
