All things Jack Grealish

Would be brilliant to keep. If savio or marmoush go he could be the perfect replacement as I think he would accept being on the bench for most games. He is also brilliant at controlling the game which I think we lack in this squad.
 
I think the fact of Jack being involved in last nights celebrations may be a good indicator.

I really hope he gets a secind chance, and that he can get certain aspects of his behaviour under control with support. I like him, always have. The Villa Jack was a good player and if EM can get him back on that track we benefit imo.

The treble season Jack wasn’t too shabby?

I think the larger issue is that we have members of staff at City who see no issue with going around telling anyone they meet that one of our players is a functioning alcoholic.

Leaving aside the fact that only a member of the medical team can make that diagnosis, and to do so and then broadcast it outside of anyone but Jack and his agreed representatives is a breaking of his/her professional ethics, Is quite possibly defamatory, and is frankly utterly disgusting behaviour, that leak has now lead to public discussion on a public forum about a young lad who may or may not be having serious personal struggles.

The only sensible option is to out the leaker to the club and ensure he/she is removed from their position forthwith. We simply cannot condone tolerating employees of this football club telling anyone outside the person involved deeply personal news. And if said person is a member of the medical profession (as surely they have to be to have arrived at such a diagnosis) then the BMA/RCN also need to be informed and they need to be struck off.
This goes beyond supporting a favourite player, it goes to the harm such a person can do to both the club, its’ employees, and the wider public.

Matters like a players apparent alcoholism simply cannot, under any circumstances, be gossiped about.

I agree all your points, and I think it’s disgusting IF someone at the club has said it (but tbh it could be someone in the club shop, or similar), but to say it as “the club have said it, fact” is simply untrue, and calling someone “a functioning alcoholic” in public is, I would suggest, potentially defamatory.
 
If his off field behavior could match his onfield behavior, nobody would have any problems with Jack.

He needs to grow up, and step up, as he appears to have very transfer value, but could be a good asset to the team.
 
Of course we should bring him back

Not for goals or assists but Ball retention?

Wonder why no other team in the word fancies such exclusive ball control Player ?

If he is such a great footballer that can win you trebles single handedly wonder why top teams aren’t in him for hom?

Why don’t they need ball control ? Are they stupid ?

Probably the only setting fans who think winning useless fouls is a skill- has United fans suggested such things people would have laughed him off

300k for fouls and keeping possession as if we were keeping possession 90% every match

On an average our possession stats were lesser in Grealish era than pre Grealish era

Good luck telling the media that. Or indeed a lot on here. They love to moan, whinge, cry and gossip on here. It's not known as Bluemoan for no reason. Witness the match threads or player threads on particular players. To plenty on here, moaning seems to be their oxygen.

Like alcohol, drugs, gambling & anything else seemingly enjoyable, moaning is addictive.

Personal & professional security is a huge problem in society & more so when large amounts of wages or bonuses for gossip newspaper stories are involved.

Looks a lot like a moan this ;)

Wouldn't mind that at all, but hard to see the club passing on any fee and paying his wages for another season just to let him go on a free next summer. Only works if Maresca finds an effective role for him and we move on some of the misfits. Still, it's up to Jack and whether he can lock in to finish his career professionally.
 
Off field behaviour?
