Jack Grealish

[Sir peace frog]

grealish job in the villa team is to carry the ball up field try and set something up or get a free kick, his job at city will be to pass and move, he wont get 3/4 of the fouls because he will be popping the ball off into a team mate who has create space for themselves, so can we stop the fucking boring statement , "i wish he would stay on his feet" ,we will see the technical side of grealish and grealish will be told to find his man and move .

And I don’t know why you post on a City forum.

He’s a master of disguise. Has us all fooled, that’s for sure…

Really don’t understand our pursuit of such a over rated player.

We already have fantastic attacking midfielders.

Is he better than KDB?
Better than last seasons Gundogan?
Better than Foden?
Better than Mahrez?
Better than Sterling?
Better than a fully motivated Bernardo Silva?
Is it not time to integrate Cole Palmer?

From what I understand, he suffered a bad injury last season and missed the business end because of it. It will probably take him six months to adjust/get fit.

Unless we’re moving one of the above on, it doesn’t make any sense.

We need to secure a 30 goal a season clinical centre forward before we spend a reported 100m on another attacking midfielder.

Last season gundogan ha ha

a fully motivated b. Silva ..

Both of those versions of those players will never been seen in a city shirt again.

This chitchat of who's going to get dropped for Grealish is redundant really. He's not going to get into the team until he proves himself good enough in training and in the gametime he gets, and then he'll only stay in the team if he keeps up the good performances.

Nobody has a starting place in this City side on "lock". Who would've thought a year ago Sterling and Laporte wouldn't be in the team in favour of Mahrez and Stones, for example?

So you think Pep will pay 100m and leave him on the bench. I cant see that happening.

And in the real world Grealish is massively over rated and over priced. We have better players in his position. The priority is supposed to be a striker but paying this much suggests he will be our only buy.

Now thats funny.

If you're spending 9 figures on a player he should be one of the inaugural names on the team sheet. Not a utility player. This would be a daft signing. He's technically not as good as a Foden or Bernardo. He scores goals, he can pick a pass. He isn't very quick. He's marketable and has the personality that will garner huge amounts of press. He reminds me of a very raw Lampard, but can he reach those lofty heights? Is he an improvement on what City already has? Not for me. Would the fee be worthwhile? Depends how you define what ''success'' is. Save the 100m and put it towards Kane.

I think some are taking into account the 'Pep' factor too much on this one. This reminds me of a mid/late 00's City signing. Gareth Barry tier.

He's no Wank Sebastian Veron that's for sure.

Lucky for us we can afford Kane as well isn’t it.

I play FIFA and I don't think they accuracy represents real life. There are loads of players I think are rating wrongly on it.

Ratings fairly accurate lmao. Okay

 

[Ashleymcduff]

People asking why we need another midfielder etc ..

we have never replaced Dave , someone who. Can create alongside Kev and control the middle of the park.

we spent 3 months last year when our main creator was Cancelo.

Ilkay will never have a season like that again.

b.silva isn’t the same player he was in 18/19.

we are crying out for this type of signing.

when Kev and Ilkay are 34 jack will be 29 and in his prime

Most of them playing in red.

Fucking blatant, pal. They are hurting

You can taste the fear, love it.

By whom? Pep? Txiki? You? Others on here?

The first two are the ones that matter, and if they think the fee is justifiable, then who are we to argue?

And how many said that Kyle was overpriced and overrated? John? Kevin? Riyad? Len? Raheem? All of them, and others, have proved their worth to the club since their arrival.

Notice villa are currently playing in a pre season friendly. Be interesting to see what Smith says after the game

 

[mccity]

No. I think he'll play who's the best for the team regardless of fee, like he's always done. Grealish will start if he's the right guy and not if not, like all the other expensive players we've signed

Thought you’d have liked my post when I reassured you we were buying Kane ?

 

[Vienna_70]

Good post mate, hits all the right notes 8/10

But not necessarily in the right order!

 

[Clembo]

Very happy if this gets over the line, grealish is a very very good player who I can only see getting better under pep and in the team.

Him and KDB in the 8 positions, got damn it's going to be fun.

 

[madloaf]

No. I think he'll play who's the best for the team regardless of fee (except in UCL finals), like he's always done. Grealish will start if he's the right guy and not if not, like all the other expensive players we've signed

Fixed

That's fine you're entitled to your opinion.
