I just don’t rate Kane as world class ... plus nobody seems to want him apart from maybe City so he can’t be THAT special .. plus he has at least one bad injury lay-off EVERY season ..

As for Villa they have recruited well and strengthened the team considerably so I expect them to do well when all the new players are settled.

Man Utd & Chelsea also wanted Kane, but Kane chose Man City that's why it's appearing like only Man City are interested in him, because they're the only team he is interested in joining at this current moment in time.

And with Ronaldo & Aguero I don't care what drama's either of them have got going on behind the scenes, Grealish still to this day can't get anywhere near the skill of either of them imo, especially Ronaldo.

Which no offence but I can't believe I just had a debate about who's currently better between the best player in the world versus Jack Grealish.

Fake Ronaldo has never ever been the best in the world .. he’s just an amazing athlete , with an amazing work ethic with some decent talent thrown in .

Take away his athleticism and his flaming penalties and his tap-in goals and what’s left ?

I actually can’t believe you are putting Grealish in the same league as Ronaldo

his wonderful free kicks, his amazing ability on the ball. Ronaldo was a class act from the moment he arrived at Man U.

I don't like him, he winds me up, but he has been an amazing player throughout his career. Grealish isn't of the same class. Grealish is not a patch on what Ronaldo was like at his age

OK, it's confirmed.

This Grealish guy is being overrated. (Currently at least.)

Cronaldo has always played for great teams with great players - Grealish has carried Villa since he was about 19 years old.


You people are well out of touch as regards Cronaldo's free kicks !!

Since 2018 Cronaldo has scored just TWO free kicks out of 136 attempts !!!!!

Laughable if we're being totally honest .

Incidentally in the same time frame Messi has scored 30 free kick goals .



Everything else aside the guy is comparing Grealish with current Cronaldo and KunA

The fact that he is so athletic is a credit to him imo, if the other players aren't as athletic then that's their problem not Ronaldo's.

And the fact that he does have a great work ethic, is great at penalties, is a great free kick taker, and can get in the position to score tap-in goals on a regular basis is a great argument as to why Ronaldo is the greatest player in the world. Plus the fact that he has been a brilliant player in the top 3 leagues in world Football which even Messi can't claim.

Btw I say this as someone that has taken issue with some of Ronaldo's behaviour in the past, but imo he is definitely a contender for the best player in the world, and certainly better than Jack Grealish.

Tbf I didn't start the comparison, I just answered your question on who did I think was world class players.

The current Cronaldo is a shadow of himself nowadays- Two free kick goals out of 134 attempts ain’t world class imho

He’s been told that he’s not even gonna be guaranteed to be starting many games thus season and will likely be coming off the bench .. the manager prefers to go with Morata and Chiesa - again not world class .

That’s why he’s looking for a move away ..

Remember he’s chosen the soft options each move .. left a dominant ManU for a more dominant Real Madrid who were spending huge amounts of money at the time - then moved to an incredibly dominant Juventus ( won the title ten years on the trot ) .. now surprise , surprise he’s looking at PSG or ManC

It’s not really important who started whatever ..

My point is that ‘currently’ Grealish is better / more effective than both Cronaldo and KunA.

Yep, as their employers they should have the final say, whether a player can leave or should stay.
