I wouldn't touch Grealish with a barge pole now, but at the time he was arguably the most exciting player in the Premier League. The only thing missing from Morgan's game at the moment is consistent end product. I can't think of many players in the Prem at the moment with a better combination of strength and close ball control, but too often his final passes or shots lead a lot to be desired. It'll come though.

Yep, there was a period around his first England appearances where he was the most entertaining player in the league.  Every game there was something for the highlight reel.  Obviously plenty of things didn't come off (and to avoid those things happening at City, the rest has been coached out of him), but he was brilliant for us.  That type of player, with better players around him, could have been phenomenal.

We might find out with Rogers, if his improvement over the last 12 months continues.  At Rogers' age, Grealish was important to our team in the Championship (his second season as a first team regular), but he still only scored 3 goals all season as we lost in the play-offs against Fulham in probably the biggest sliding doors moment in our history.  It was really the following season (and his two in the premier league with us) where he really came into his own. 

Morgan has time.

And when it does he needs to take Buendia's number 10 shirt and forever be known as R10.

I think in an Unai team of well drilled passages of play, Rogers stands out as the 'maverick' with 'brave' flicks and threaded balls etc.  They don't always come off, but I'd rather that was encouraged from him as he'll only get even better.

Is this really only the SECOND most exciting youngster at our club?

Morgz in the Champions League (and for once you don’t have to turn the volume off):

Some show reel is that.  Like Duran, a young potentially world class player.

Sometimes we just don't fully appreciate what we have. Yes he can hold the ball too long at times and yes he can be dispossessed quite a bit and yes he needs to find his shooting boots

But when you watch that (and that is only in the Champs league) fuck me what a player he is and frightening where he can get to.

Even more frightening is SUE and his team saw something in him that (if we are honest) none of us contemplated even after watching him a few times once we knew we were interested.

A joy to watch and in the same mould as Jack - when a player takes the ball and drives at defences it is breathtaking at times - pity Jack had his mojo cut off.

 Nice compilation, he’s as strong as an Ox and hopefully only going to get better.

I noticed Morgan seems to have stopped doing it lately. I guess the "Cold" thing makes sense for Palmer, but f**k the dopey f**ker.

Can you trademark a celebration? I can understand trademarking for official merchandise with pictures of him doing it, but actually trademark so someone else can't do it at all?

A load of fucking nonsense. Like Vardy apparently trying to trademark the phrase, "chat shit, get banged."
