Ironic thing is the ball carrying creative central midfielder he was at Villa is exactly what we are crying out for now, not saying he can be that here , but what we bought isnt what we have now and some of that has to be down to the coaching he has received.

overrated before he came here...and still is
 
I think Jack must be definitely high up on the list of players we are looking to offload.

He has scored one goal in 12 months give or take.

He is one of the most one dimensional players we’ve ever had, he does the same thing every game, Ajren Robben did the same thing in a lot of games but the majority of the time there was an end product with Grealish there isn’t.

Maybe a bad comparison to compare Grealish with Robben but what a player he was.
 
He is a marketing dream and I think he probably pays his way quite comfortably even if he is on 300k plus. He's also a decent player if not world class so I imagine he is nowhere near the exit..
 
Think he has something to offer but honestly it's better we cut our ties, he's not good enough for the wages he's on

Finding a buyer will be the tricky thing
 
Up there with our most disappointing signings in recent memory. I have genuinely never seen what he brings to the team aside from drawing fouls and backwards passing. £100m fee, and £300k a week. He's mugged everyone right off.

A full year without scoring a goal for us, 0 goals in 44 matches.
11 goals and 12 assists in 86 league matches.

Those stats are unbelievably below par. I would say we need to offload him but i cant see there being any interest for the fee we'd likely demand, or at his obscene wages. i fear we're just going to be stuck with him for the next 2 and half years as he rakes in £300k a week.
 
I cannot see another PL team pay this kind of salary to him. neither clubs abroad, unless Saudi...

he even needs to up his game for us to be able put him in the shop window. all the outrage of him not making the Euros, yet I cannot recall when he had two great games in a row for us. wonder how Tuchel will approch him, as he is another top level manager unlike Southgate.
 
Grealish's impact on the game goes beyond G/A stats. Its crazy that people still haven't realized this after all this time. He simply makes the team better. He improves the chances of the ball arriving in situations where there is greater danger of scoring, and he prevents the other team from doing that. Grealish is the quintessential Pep player with his technique, intelligence and workrate. I don't understand how as a Man City fan you can love Pep but hate Grealish.

Should give him Balon D Or as he is probably one of his kind player to ever exist and play the game

If he improves the chances of us getting the ball in dangerous areas to score and prevents the opponents from doing the same… why, from our own corner, did he refuse to go forwards and instead passed back, inviting pressure onto Walker and Nunes, two players that cannot handle that pressure, leading to errors and a goal conceded? Because that sounds awfully like your theory is nonsense.
 
He is without any shadow of doubt, our worst ever signing. An astronomical fee, film star wages, and 3½ years of feck all. Not only was the presence of complete flops like Grealish a major contributory factor in Palmer seeing no future here, but he has haemorrhaged the club financially to boot. The only slack I can possibly give him is that Guardiola has completely coached any self-expression out of his game, but there comes a time when Grealish should have said "Wait a minute, you're killing me Pep!", and clearly he didn't.

He has been such a bad buy, he almost makes HS2 look like it's value for money!

He should be given a run of games in the middle and a proper crack of the whip at playing centrally.

Frankly I can’t see what we’ve got to lose as he couldn’t possibly play any worse than De Bruyne did on Sunday.
 
In the treble season he did a lot, running power going both ways and control. He allowed the others who have clearly got a better game when it comes to scoring and assisting to take centre stage. The problem obviously now is that those players are not performing to the level, whether that's due to age, form or both. So the requirement from a 100m player who wears the 10 is to be really affecting games, taking them by the scruff of the neck and doing something. In the past few seasons when we have had KDB out, Bernardo stepped up and last season it was a mix of Alvarez and Foden - Grealish just doesn't look like he has that about him.
