Dele was a desperate throw of the dice on a player who had completely gone mentally. Drenthe had never done anything consistently when we signed him.
They were all pretty desperate punts, really.
Grealish doesn't belong in the same category - it's a bit of a risk but a calculated one that has a good chance of paying off. Previous Message
Firstly I think he’ll be real success for us.
But I was thinking of some of the players we’ve had before who were ‘bold’ signings and didn’t work out.
Gascoigne
Dele Ali
Drenthe
Ginola
Rodriguez (not his fault -FSW)
Anyone remember Mick Madar?
Any more?
Grealish will be great for us.
The large sprinkle of stardust we needed.
The kids need a hero - watch those shirts with his name on sell massively.
Will attract other decent players to the club
Good Luck Jack!
