These Liverpool fans are no longer keen on Aston Villa star Jack Grealish becoming a Red in the near future.
Grealish is having a solid season in the Premier League, scoring six goals and getting five assists in 20 league matches; not a bad return from a midfielder which is probably why these fans are even discussing the 24-year-old.
Empire of the Kop was the starter of the conversation when stating this on Twitter: “I like Grealish, I really do, but never in a million years does he get picked over a fit [Naby] Keita.” They re-tweeted a message from Anfield Edition who quoted comments made by Danny Murphy (as per Daily Mail) regarding the Aston Villa midfielder.
Here’s what the Liverpool fans had to say about Grealish after the tweet from Empire of the Kop:
I like Grealish, I really do, but never in a million years does he get picked over a fit Keita. https://t.co/jzalNtkP3Z

absolutely not! Grealish is no more than a modern-day David batty, David Platt , denis wise, massively overrated an average player in a poor team one step up from Robbie savage and three steps down from Keita, all froth and no substance who occasionally does something good.

No. Never. Nada.

Same here. I love watching Grealish but saying he’s a better player than Keïta must be a joke. Naby was one of if not the best midfielder when he played for Leipzig and I’m 100% sure he can and will replicate his form at Liverpool. (1/2)

Not a chance, attitude wrong for Jurgen style!

Grealish is overhyped. He does not play as a team player, he drives forward (sometimes successfully) but he does not pass – he just falls over and tries to win fouls. If he was playing in a better team, when he is not the centre of attention, he would not thrive.

Would you like to see Jack Grealish at Liverpool?
Yes
No
Arguably, Grealish’s best performances have come when the 24-year-old was playing as a left-sided midfielder, playing nine matches in this position, returning with five goals and two assists.
These Liverpool fans clearly aren’t keen on the Villan becoming a Liverpool player anytime soon, which could be seen as harsh, but maybe they just don’t feel he’s needed.
Sorry, I agree with those who’d prefer Keita over Grealish. Better all around game, and Keita could score just as much if it were needed by his team

Its a no from me.

He looks overweight to me.
10 mins of klopps press and he’d have to come off.

What Do We Think?
With Grealish scoring six goals in the Premier League so far this season, it’s no surprise that Liverpool fans are discussing the 24-year-old.
However, it would seem that these Reds fans are hardly keen on the midfielder, with some of them going as far to suggest that Grealish, who is valued at £31.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), isn’t even good enough to wear a Liverpool shirt. We don’t think this move will happen anytime soon, but we’ll have to wait and see.
