It was good that they got an incredulous TS response though, how dare Villa fans compare Alli to Grealish. TS is fucking crap.

I’m sorry but it’s bloody daft. I’m as Villa as anyone but that kind of position is never going to get anything but ridicule in the national media. And frankly they weren’t disrespectful to the caller rather just suggested he was a bit off base but entitled to his opinion. Dele Alli plays for England and a top 6 team and has played very well in the top flight, in the CL and for England over several seasons. Love Grealish but he is a long, long way from that. And maybe he’ll get there one day but when the calls are about should Jack get a call up and then some numpty says he’s better than Alli it details the legitimacy of the conversation.
Grealish is on the way up, Alli is already there.
Grealish is as important to Villa as Alli is to Spurs. Grealish is on the way up, Alli is already there. If a Prem team buys Jack, he will also be there, very quickly, as he is different to any other midfielder we have playing for England. By the way, rather than piss Villa fans off, again, Southgate should see this as a challenge and invite Jack to train with England and take on the challenge of making him a better player.

You could argue that the step up for Jack would not as great as it was for Ali.For me Jack would be competing with Barkley and Ali for a starting position and I would argue that Ali is a better finisher but Jack is more creative, a better tackler, and a better dribbler. For me, I would easily be starting him ahead of Barkley
He'd been playing in the Eredivisie last season and he was invited to train with England before the World Cup on the back of his performances in Holland.

This is where things get messy, is the eredivisie a better standard than the championship, I'm really not sure it is outside the top 3-4 sides, much like the Scottish, Belgian and Portuguese leagues, France isn't all that far ahead either.

It's said virtually every week, regardless of who we play or how we do. If that's truly the case then of course Jack looks superior.
