Grealish

[jonnyt1]

Should be an England automatic pick. Without doubt in the top 5 players in the Premiership. Week in week out runs the opposition ragged.

[SwalePie]

Agreed 100%, although to be honest, based on your NCM caricature persona, it might help if you said 'Grealish will never play for England again'

Over the years how many flair players have had a good England run

I wouldn't usually make accusations but I definitely think Southgates got an issue with him, heard a few ex pros on talk sport suggesting similar. It's not like any of the other England team haven't been in hot water and if Southgate's ridgeley sticking to the front 3 then I would say on form and ability Grealish is ahead of all of them the last few months, you have to play Kane or another striker but he could also fit in the midfield 3. On a club level I think he will do even more now with Barkley there as it will take some of the opposition focus off him too.

[Mark_Ross]

Agreed. Do you think we could get him back on loan?

[matt_magpie]

Be nice wouldn't it lol. Thats what annoys me even more about Southgate, we saw at first hand an extremely talented player but what was more impressive was he was getting kicked all over the shop and just got up with no fuss and wanted the ball again, that's real character which he's always shown. Unless he changes his name to Mason Mount I doubt he will get that much game time which is Englands loss.

He is in good form granted but I wouldn’t put him in the top 5 in the league.

His best chance of a game is in central midfield as out wide he is up against Sterling Rashford and Sancho.

England problem isn’t flair at the minute it’s the fact they don’t have very good CB’s and a poor keeper in Pickford you aren’t winning anything with a weak back line.

I remember when he was here some of our illustrious posters saying that he shouldn't be picked for the team as he didn't do enough or track back etc if I remember correctly.
I would love to remember who they were just to prove that they know / knew nothing about football
The guy had more skill in his little toe ,than we had in our whole squad !
Anyway those who didn't want him in the team for a relegation battle know who they were so please say out loud who you were ?

On present form he must be.

Players like Curry, Hudson, Bowles, Marsh, Hoddle and Le Tiss spring to mind. I think Gaza's is the only one who played on a regular basis.
But there is probably more.
