We should turn this thread into a drinking game.
Every time SausageVince mentions us signing McGinn we all have a drink.
I’m guessing will all be paralytic before the weekend.
If you can't get Grealish....
SammyClogger will have you believe he's a winger.Where do you think Rabiot plays?
none of that was league football from what I saw. All youth national team stuffVery meh.
Also, the state of some of those grounds - is that the Bundesliga? Some of them looked more like Nonliga. The rest were empty

Grillitsch actually has very impressive stats for a 6.
2.3 tackles per game
2.1 interceptions per game
1.1 key passes per game
If we compare that to some other of central midfielders we've been linked with:
NDombele:
1.8 tackles per game
0.5 interceptions per game
1.2 key passes per game
de Jong:
1.4 tackles per game
1.6 interceptions per game
1.2 key passes per game
Rabiot:
2.3 tackles per game
0.7 interceptions per game
0.4 key passes per game
Berge:
2 tackles per game
1.3 interceptions per game
0.8 key passes per game
Diawara:
1.1 tackle per game
0.8 interceptions per game
0.3 key passes per game
He looks like a very smart signing, especially if the release clause if just a measly £18,000,000. I still want Sander Berge personally and hope it's someone we aim to go for in the summer but I quite like the look of Grillitsch too if he's coming in to be a number 6 for us, break up play, win it back and move the ball forward.
Here we can compare to the midfielders we have who play the same position.
Winks:
0.8 tackles per game
0.5 interceptions per game
0.5 key passes per game
Sissoko:
1 tackle per game
0.8 interceptions per game
0.8 key passes per game
Dembele:
1.4 tackles per game
0.6 interceptions per game
0.1 key passes per game
He makes more tackles per game than Winks and Sissoko manage together. He also makes more interceptions than all of those 3 put together. Also shows off his #8 ability with the key passes too. For the price being touted, I'd say it was probably worth the gamble.
He's probably not our central midfield saviour but he'd add very good depth to it and could end up being an unsung hero if partnered well. I think him and Dele would work very well.

Sorry Totti, but that post is the sort of thing Sky do to try and fill 10 minutes on a boring day where there is no news and Jim Shite is glaring at his mobile just begging it to be Oor 'Arry
The Chelsea game really highlighted it IMO. Good performance by Chelsea but we were pinned back so much with the midfield not getting a foothold.It's also a post that proves that he'd likely be a substantial improvement on our lacklustre central midfield.
People want to know why we give up so many chances. Just check out the pathetic interception and tackle stats from our midfield.

I bet you'd never heard of him until today but now he's a must buy!
