Just like Grealish made a choice. That choice is costing him things now. Eg, Grealish will never want to be absent from the English te. Never!
But u can't ble Southgate, a lot of coaches won't pick a player, like Grealish, that is not a sure starter in his club, in these days of overflow of talents in England.
Then ofcourse today he is not as revered in England as was the his Villa days. In Villa he was England's honorary son, a young boy captaining quite a big te. There was awe around him.
Now ofcourse, we can see the average English fan don't give him as much respect, many taunt him now.
Grealish never wanted these things in his life, he didn't plan for that AT ALL.
Now these are facts, it is a fact that he was not in the Euros and Southgate can be justified to drop him. It's all bcos of the Man City move.
But yet again, it's his choice, let him suffer(or enjoy) the consequences if he so pleases. It doesn't change the fact that the choice is costing him.🤷♂️
While I understand what you are trying to point out, there’s still a chance he won’t be called even if he stayed in Villa.
I don’t think his number of minutes at City was the issue. Southgate had a nonsense plan that doesn’t need enough left wingers.
