Grealish's Everton move couldn't be more perfect – just look at David Moyes' history of unleashing gems

I LOVE Jack Grealish's move to Everton.
In any team, you always need that wildcard in and around a good structure and he can be that guy for David Moyes.

It's perfect for Jack – he will be given time and space to express himself.
At Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, he was limited by the expectation to pass first instead of looking for the space and attacking it without any shackles.
It will take a bit of time to get that back because Pep does well to coach that out of you.
But Moyes is incredible at unleashing these players. He may be a defensively-minded manager, but he has a history of having these gems within the solid base.

RED ALERT Man Utd 'agree to sell Jadon Sancho and set to make huge loss on £73m flop'
Think of Steven Pienaar at Everton, or Lucas Paqueta at West Ham.
Jack has taken a lot of unfair stick recently, and I cannot believe he is being criticised after the role he played for City winning the Treble – just look at his trophy cabinet.
People think of that iconic, shirtless, outstretched picture on the team bus celebrating the Treble and how it went downhill from there, but that's nonsense.
And people don't like to hear it, but when it is a World Cup year, players bring it more than they normally would.

Jack has given himself a great chance of winning back his England spot in a team that I don't think will be fighting relegation like previous years.
And given he will be playing in a brand new stadium, he has a chance to make history and new memories and become a real Everton hero.

Women's Rugby World Cup 2025: Scotland v WalesVenue: Salford Community Stadium Date: Saturday, 23 August Kick-off: 14:45 BSTCoverage: Live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport Online and BBC Sounds Wales co-captain Kate Williams says she sympathises with Scotland players who are going through contract uncertainty in the build up to the Rugby World than half of Scotland's squad fear being left without a professional deal after the tournament in October.A source in their camp told the BBC in June players were suffering with their mental and emotional experienced similar upheaval last year when they were given ultimatums and threatened with withdrawal from the World Cup when contract talks broke Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) later apologised for its handling of the situation."I wouldn't wish what we went through on any other team," said Williams.

Liverpool transfer news: Alisson makes 'hard' admission as Reds agree next summer move
Liverpool still have work to do with two weeks remaining of the transfer window and Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi the main names being speculated over possible Anfield arrivals The first Premier League match of the season is out of the way and just two more weeks of the transfer window remain. There's little sign of Liverpool slowing down their work. The Reds got their business underway at a rapid pace as they moved for Jeremie Frimpong and Trent Alexander-Arnold made his exit. Figures such as Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez followed as the spending ticked up towards £300million at Anfield. There have been plenty of stars heading in the opposite direction too. Arne Slot has waved goodbye to Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton and Caoimhin Kelleher among others to bring in funds. And talk of Alexander Isak still remains after he missed Newcastle's opening match. Liverpool meanwhile will still feel they need a defender amid links to Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. With that said, Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Anfield. Alisson admission Alisson believes that the difficulty of integrating so many new players in one go has been appreciated. Liverpool's transfer work has been lauded as they added talents such as Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerez, Jeremie Frimpong and Hugo Ekitike, but the Brazilian goalkeeper reckons it comes with a cost. "I think it's hard," Alisson told NBC. "Not many people talk about the changes we had in the team. Everybody's said how good our team is becoming with new players coming in, but nobody talks about the challenge that this is. It is a big challenge. "Last season we had the challenge of changing the manager, but you keep the players so you know each other, you just have to keep the same way of playing. The manager was smart in the way he did that and also implementing new things, it was easy for us to understand." "I think for them to play, for Jeremie, for Flo (Wirtz) and for Hugo, playing for the first time in the Premier League, you have the physicality that's a little bit different, the intensity," he added. "But they showed up so well, they played amazingly well. Of course with our help, but they showed that their qualities are at the standard of Liverpool FC.' Ben Doak nears move Liverpool and Bournemouth have agreed a £25m deal for Ben Doak - with only the formalities remaining after the clubs came to some harmony over a fee this weekend. The Scotland international was absent from the teams' Premier League season opener after a breakthrough in discussions and now a deal is all but done. The Cherries identified Doak as the ideal candidate to replace new Brentford star Dango Ouattara Andoni Iraola, per Liverpool Echo. Bournemouth fended off competition from Porto and Stuttgart to advance their deal after Doak impressed on loan at Middlesbrough last season. Glasner's Guehi stance Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner claims Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze remain 100 per cent with the Eagles amid speculation over their futures. Eze has been widely linked to Spurs and was rumoured to be set to miss the game against Chelsea, while Guehi has just a year remaining on his contract amid talk of a move to Liverpool. Following the Eagles' goalless draw, Glasner appeared calm over the status of his star players and never considered excluding them from his his squad. "Not at all," he said. "Ebs and Marc, there has been a lot of noise about these two players in the last week. Everyone could see the performances against Liverpool, and [against Chelsea] they were 100% aligned with this team. "As long as they are 100% committed, they will play as they are so good. I watched them all week in training. I spoke to them almost daily, maybe more than my kids and wife, but it's been worth it to talk to them. They didn't just show they are great footballers, but they are great persons and that's what I expected." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Leeds United vs Everton Premier League prediction, odds and betting offer
Leeds return to the Premier League under the lights against Everton, with goals fancied and the hosts slight favourites Leeds United's first night back in the Premier League brings Everton to Elland Road for a Monday showdown under the lights. The last time these two shared a top flight season, both were dragged into a relegation scrap. Everton survived; Leeds needed two more years to climb back. That history adds an edge, but the mood in LS11 feels more bullish this time Despite being among the favourites for the drop, Leeds are marginally preferred by the bookies for the opener. The market also leans towards entertainment. With Leeds' previous Premier League stint defined by end to end games and Everton potentially light at the back, over 2.5 goals at Evens looks a fair entry point. Both teams to score will attract interest too, given the balance of attacking threat and defensive absences Leeds will try to harness the Elland Road surge, pressing high and turning loose balls into quick entries towards Piroe. Width and early crosses can trouble an Everton defence missing Branthwaite's aerial dominance, while set pieces become a lever for the hosts. If Calvert Lewin is involved, his penalty box instincts and familiarity with Everton's centre backs add a wrinkle Everton must plan for David Moyes's side, if reshaped by absences, may lean on compact spacing, channel balls for runners, and Grealish's ability to draw fouls and tilt territory should he get minutes. Mykolenko's status affects how aggressively the visitors can push the left flank; if he is out, Everton's rest defence and cover on transitions will need tightening against Leeds' breaks Leeds United vs Everton Leeds United - 8/5 Draw - 9/4 Everton - 9/5 18+ | Gamble responsibly | | Odds subject to change Leeds United vs Everton Everton to win - 9/5 Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime - 15/8 Over 2.5 goals - Evens 18+ | Gamble responsibly | | Odds subject to change Leeds United vs EvertonB If you are on the lookout for the latest free bet offers, then look no further.
