Grealish is a player I was very on the fence for.
I didn’t know much about him but have been reading and listening to a variety of opinions and stats.
Still none the wiser. Some think he is potentially great and an international player.
Others question his ability and attitude.
So can’t say I am disappointed if we miss out.
I personally think Grealish would have been the perfect signing for CM/AM options. He's not only homegrown but he has so many qualities that Pochettino loves to work with and make better. He'd have become a better footballer working at Spurs and it honestly wouldn't have surprised me to see him take Dembeles role in the middle of the park if he'd continued his development like he has demonstrated over the last 6 months.
I think it's a great shame to have missed out on him for our homegrown quotas, our ability to mould good young talent, the positions in the park he could have added quality in and for the player himself. If he'd signed for Spurs he could have potentially been a starter in the middle of the park for England at the Euro 2020's.
Very disappointed we haven't got him in based on his potential as we and him may struggle to see it grow at the highest level for club and country now
