Moyes won't let him go unless he gets others in. For those younger than me, can you explain why we don't play Grealish in the 10, keep the Stork on the left and use Ndiaye or Dibbling right. Obviously if McNeil goes, Ndiaye goes back on the left. Can't see how Moyes doesn't see Grealish as way more effective central. Thanks in advance

I was calling for it earlier in the season too... Not sure how well he can press though, certainly would give us a lot more in the 10 imo from an offensive perspective though as defenders wouldn't be able to double up on him constantly.

That's my thinking. He's a class act, but wide left with 2 defenders on him, with no players running for him, he's predictable now. In the middle, he can go left, right or thread through balls for our striker. Barry isn't a trad CF who loves heading it. He needs balls in front so he can use his feet to effect.

Moyes has no apparent interest in traditional wingers.

Maybe he doesn’t think they are effective without functioning fullbacks 🤷‍♂️
