Jack Grealish

[Mister E]

I still think Herd is close to prem quality.  He (for me) was our most consistent player last season (Way above our supoosed player of the year "Ireland")  Still think he has a useful place in our squad.

Yep, pity he's had these injury problems.
Interestingly, he's listed on the OS site as a MF player; alongside Westie and the resurgent Delph, he'd be a useful DMF right now.

I'd prefer Herd in midfield than Sylla or Kea. Has shit for brains though and a fair old chip on his shoulder. At centre half he made James Collins look like Franco Baresi on the ball. If he could cool the red mist definitely an option in midfield and reasonable cover at right back

Hope he makes it, our youngsters had a hard time over last 2 years and would not have expected Weinmann and Baker currently proofing to be best .

Great to see Jack make his first team debut today and started. I expect to see a fair bit of him this season or towards the end perhaps.

He's just tweeted: @JackGrealish1: "Best day of my whole life to start on my debut for the club I've supported my whole life! Fans were unreal today! So so so happy #avfc"

Matt Collins - to be fair that comment re herd above Sylla was said when not much had been seen of Sylla. Not sure the same answer now lol

Jack is the best youngster I have seen come through our system since Brian.
