Looks can be deceiving.Think we look so much worse when he isn't in the team.

We have been so slack in possession for the last few weeks and as much as there are valid criticisms of him, right now we need the control he brings.
I think he’s been very underwhelming for us but I think if he moves to the right club for him he could thrive there. A bit like if Pogba or Sanchez had came to city instead of United I think their careers would have be been totally different

He would be the one that is *ucked, his career with us would be right royaly *ucked.
I think he is already in his managers bad books.
I don’t think we’ve got much to lose at the moment given how poor our midfield is.Get him back after the international break and get him in the middle of the park. His ball retention is one of the best at the club. He can and will run like fuck and if he isn’t told to just pass inside or backwards, which I’m convinced he is, he will be more creative.
We bought him from Villa because he excelled in a more central role, then put him on the wing. I agree he’s been underwhelming for the most part, but let’s give him a chance. It’s the perfect opportunity
What annoys me about this particular situation is the whole number of games argument. We have players moaning about the sheer number of games, we get a player who has been injured and unable to play at club level, refusing to make himself unavailable at international level. He basically had a free pass to make himself unavailable and he has chosen not to. They can’t have it both ways.Seems more interested in playing for England than he does City.
I agree. I think we’ve hugely under utilised him. He’s a great player and I’m sure with a run of games he’d flourishI don’t think we’ve got much to lose at the moment given how poor our midfield is.
Grealish must know that his City career is slipping away from him, so I would expect him to be up for the challenge even if it doesn’t work out for him.
Nunez not as good but scored and made more than Jack in half a dozen games.It is what it is. My only concern is what we need and right now we can't keep hold of the ball, take the sting out of a game or press with any real energy. Those are things he gives us.
I don’t agree with your first sentence bud, but he’s certainly divided our support somewhat on Bluemoon, but doesn’t seem to in the stadium for some reasonIt is but on here a lot of Grealish fans that seem to put player before club.
His situation has echoes of the Rodney Marsh signing back in the day, Grealish has been far more successful and not a disruption but I have not known a player have such divided opinions in our fan base.
but he'll go with all of your loveIf pep stays he is out of the door
He is great now and again.I don’t agree with your first sentence bud, but he’s certainly divided our support somewhat on Bluemoon, but doesn’t seem to in the stadium for some reason
Personally, I think he’s great. I get some don’t agree as he doesn’t do the traditional winger role, but the way I look at his job role is to be like Rodri, but much higher up the pitch & wide left
Ie he’s always available, never loses the ball & completely controls our tempo
If you can see him as that type of winger, he most definitely hasn’t been underwhelming, but absolutely crucial to us being able to suffocate teams for the past few years & win shit loads of trophies
Do we have any "Jack fan boys" on here ? Can't say that I've seen a poster, on here, who's joined up just because he signed for us.He is great now and again.
The Jack fan boys vastly overate his performances.
Is it not possible to be a “Jack Fan Boy” if you were already a BM member before he signed?Do we have any "Jack fan boys" on here ? Can't say that I've seen a poster, on here, who's joined up just because he signed for us.
Haven't noticed any. There's quite a few at the other end of the spectrum, though.Do we have any "Jack fan boys" on here ? Can't say that I've seen a poster, on here, who's joined up just because he signed for us.
