Jack Grealish

[TrapAPony]

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

Nothing to do with him going to Man Utd anyway - so his brother Kevan says on the Villa forums.

Theres a lot of things i cant say but it has nothing to do with jack leaving for united. We all had a great night and rio was a massive help for jack by giving him some helpful advice. Jacks villa through and through and he wants to continue his footballing career at villa park

Whos Rio?

Aston Villa played Manchester United at Old Trafford, and they're mentioning someone called Rio.
Who could it be?

That can only mean one thing.

It'll be a Nike thing, afaik Grealish wears Nike boots and has a commercial deal as does Ferdinand (one of their marquee names I think). Probably got matched up through that or the other thing it could be is a shared agent or representative.

Great to see paul doolin include grealish in the 19s squad http://www.fai.ie/international/under-19/102702.html. This is his first season at this level he has started season real well in the hole at villa. Looks good attacking squad which will be hugely better when we get george back from injury at celtic after x mas hopefully we can get through first round of qualifiers. Goalscorers in roberts and dreennan which I think we have lacked at this level recently. kieran sadlier has played very little at under 17 for us but he is a very creative footballer who could be a nice addition.

Don't ask me why but I picture Jimmy Greaves everytime I see Jack Grealish's name.

This image is similar to what comes to my mind,
after a Grealish tackle, he orders the player off the pitch to receive attention

God be with the days when Irish footballers looked like men who could easily pass for gnarled session musicians sitting in on a JJ Cale recording session and laying down licks in the late 70s.

Grealish has had to pull out of the squad with a groin problem: https://twitter.com/JackGrealish1/st...35421148925952

Awarded the U-17 International Player of the Year award last night.

A snippet from the London Independent which just acknowledges what a talent he seems to be. It also mentions the English might try and get him, how outrageous!

Just tweeted that he has been called up to the U21 Irish squad. Good to see

[Charlie Darwin]

Grealish keeps defecting to England on my Football Manager game. I'm not happy about this.

Scored a hat trick on the first day of the Hong Kong Tournament. Update, he has now scored six in the tournament, Villa play Man City in the Final. On the way to the Final, Jack Byrne has scored a goal for City.

I have a mild palpetism any time I see a new post on this thread.

[BonnieShels]

As do I. It is like the pre-capping Jimmy Mc days.

How many pages had the McCarthy thread before his cap against Macedonia?
This thread has the potential to beat that...
