Jack Grealish - Everton on loan

[Big Joe Corrigan]

If he was so good, clubs would be queuing up to sign him, and he would be playing for an elite European club, not relegation level Everton.

Maybe he wanted to stay in the northwest where his home is? And why the disrespect to Everton, we were at a similar level once.

You mean if given chance he would have preferred north west over Barcelona or Madrid or Munich or Paris?

Maybe he’s settled with his wife and kid, and there’s some very nice parts of the northwest if you have the money.

He's obviously going to get a lot more space for Everton, as he won't be playing against parked buses.

He said he had not enjoyed his football here for a couple of years. It would be instructive to find out why.

Everton were “The millionaire club” when Moores subbed them. We were well behind. Their history is very similar to ours, not least ‘the people’s club’, living cheek by jowl with a juggernaut.
I’ve always quite liked them and hoped for the day they would give the red dippers their comeuppance, as we have done with the rags.

What a cheery person you are

Am I wrong?

No.

 

[Bigga]

We all did after we beat Wolves.

I never measure where City are before 10 games; individual players or the team.

 

[Chris in London]

Is that the same blue scouse fans that roundly booed him and every touch he made whilst playing for City at their place??

Yep, that’s them!

Top players dont have 1 goal for the season.

There are an awful lot of revisionist views on here about Jack.

Massive part of our treble campaign and yet we've got people genuinely saying that Doku is better. The same guy who's assisted Haaland twice in two years.

It's embarrassing.

People are saying Doku is better,? There is loyalty and then there is just downright stupidity.

All of that is true but neither of them are good enough.

I stand corrected

Mental gymnastics...
The guys washed and he's playing at his level

What has that got to do with what I said, we were similar to them, in the shadow of our shitty neighbour, but we managed to get out of that and become top dog.

 

[Dazzle84]

Like most, I'm delighted for Jack. He can go and enjoy his football with the pressure off this season - I imagine he'll do well for a number of reasons but that doesn't mean we we correct to let him go

 

[half & half derby scarf]

I thought he did alright considering Moyes is playing him out of position.

 

[bluegaz13]

Too many people have an issue with grealish.
I can only imagine its a jealousy issue. Shite lives, crap wages, riddled with jealousy.

He was great in our treble winning season, hes still better than half our squad. Ive had first hand experience of what a top bloke he is, ask and i shall tell

So good luck jack, wish u still played for us.

I always thought City were a better team with Grealish in it….and still disappointed that he left.

Typical of the press that now he’s not a City player he has gone from public enemy number 1 to a victim and the narrative has completely changed to them all wanting Grealish to do well……no more negative press for him !

His problems were not Pep’s fault. They were self inflicted and the club bent over backwards to help him.

Never blamed Pep, how did the club bend over backwards out of interest? Did his problems affect the way he played when he was picked?

I can’t say on here. But I know for a fact that a lot of time and effort was put into managing and helping Jack with his off the field behaviour. I still think he was great for us in the treble season and wish him well at Everton.
