Jack Grealish

[asahartford1]

so bellingham still got chance maybe ?

he is only 16. so yes, or is it 15

 

[asahartford1]

First 25 year old to score 15 goals ??? Seriously ?

Gone fishing obviously…..

I was being a little sarcastic pal, not the best trait on a fans forum.
Trying to show he still has a long way to go to become a leg end

 

[domalino]

it means he has not scored 100 like Sterling, so yes it does mean something, not everything, but it says he is hardly likely to become a prolific premier league goalscorer.

I'd bet he'd score probably 10-15 a season in all comps for us.

He's not going to replace Sterling and his goals, he's not going to replace Sterling full stop, who'll be playing alongside him. If Bernardo wants to leave, he'll replace him, and without looking it up I'd bet that's what Bernardo clocked up in his good seasons.

It's obviously not his main strength, but he'll chip in.

The main thing on the pitch that I'll miss about Bernardo (hoping to jinx it and he stays) is his relentless energy. Might take a while for Grealish to get there but hopefully he can do the same as well as all the other stuff.

Grealish is pretty tenacious, he was everywhere in the first half but tired badly in the second, presumably he's still not fully fit as he was training on his own injury recovery program until a few days ago.

It's hard to compare because Villa obviously don't want Grealish running himself into the ground for the side, because he's the one difference maker in attack, it would be a better comparison to Monaco Bernardo who certainly wasn't pressing and tackling as much as he did when he came here and became 2nd or 3rd fiddle creatively and had to make up in other ways.

 

[urban genie]

aye lad ,you missed my point, He has scored a total of 15 goals, hardly spectacular, It was aimed at those who believe he is the second coming rather than a prospect.

Ahh right appologies

Agree, playing for Villa

Good points, especially about Bernardo at Monaco. If I remember correctly, Bernardo was usually hooked around the 60th minute for Monaco and there were questions about his fitness levels because of it. Maybe that's why it took him a while to fully get going in a City shirt.

I wonder if he'd still get the same amount of cheap free kicks playing for us or just get told to get up?

A small tap anywhere near him and he goes down with that look of anguish on his face, pisses me off.

The first thing Pep will do is make him move the ball quicker. If you're getting fouled and stopping the game you're holding on to the ball too long.

 

[bluemoon32]

Yep...outstanding first half,quiet second.

I probably need to be trying to communicate/reason with some of you lot.

He wasn't anywhere near outstanding in the first half, didn't even come close

They used to blame Johnny foreigner in years gone by, now English players are praised for doing the same, praised for cheating ffs

Yeh he holds on to it far too long, he's got incredibly quick feet which draws them in but doesn't release it quick enough.

Especially when he does it in the middle third, as he does alot at Villa.

Agree, playing for Villa

Sterling has 96 premier league goals , over 50 assists, that isn't good enough for you, so Grealish would need to up those stats drastically to please some.
Of course for City his stats would improve. Whether they could ever match Sterlings' is open to debate.
He is easy on the eye, and has potential , we will find out soon enough.

You have lost me. Where did I say Sterling's G&A were not good enough for me?

He probably inferred it from the hundreds of posts you’ve made about him over the last 5 years.

Let's get away from the idea Grealish is going to replace Sterling in any form because its just fanfic from the usual anti-Sterling brigade.

Sterling's role as a secondary goalscorer who is necessary for a balanced side and neither Grealish nor Foden are going to replace it long term.

 

[Manchester33]

Grealish is absolutely class. With Pep guiding him he could get to that next world-class level. I think anyone saying they don't want him is caught up on him being a bit eccentric.

I think he has a higher ceiling than the likes of Bernardo, but he needs to make the move sooner rather than later!

I agree .
I am not one of those who need persuading.
