Might Jack Grealish play for City again?

He's a good player and will look superb for Everton or Aston Villa, but ultimately that's his level. He wasn't, isn't and never will be a £100m player. He's nowhere near the levels of the players we've had who were worth more than £100m - KdB, Silva, Haaland, Rodri etc. It's not his fault he cost so much but he was Villa's best player and English and that's the fee you pay.

I honestly think it's great he's doing well for Everton, it will raise his profile. I suspect they will want to keep him and let's face it, they have a chance of European football and will need someone like him. They have Branthwaite and Ndiaye who would both suit us and I suspect they will do a deal in summer.

We also need as many players as possible doing well for England in a WC year so I hope he continues to do well and good luck to him.

No way, he just never really got the City way. Biggest mistake by Txiki, closely followed by Phillips.

Come off it. Whatever you think of Grealish, he helped us win the treble. This rewriting of history needs to stop.

FWIW, I don't see him playing for us again, unfortunately.

uh, i am, uh sure me and Jack would get on very well. We can talk about haribo and stuff.

Yeah, he's a nice guy. Don't think anyone is claiming he's ever read a book in his life though.

Totally agree.

And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being at the level of a top half premier league side but not not quite elite level.

I like Jack and I’m glad he’s mostly doing well at Everton.
 
Rice isn't a £100m player
Wirtz isn't a £100m player
Isak isn't a £100m player
Enzo isn't a £100m player
Caicedo isn't a £100m player

Jack's not the only one. I can't think of many players that have gone for over £100m and been worth the money

I think rice has been worth it for arsenal. He has been brilliant and is available every game. Caicedo too Chelsea fans absolutely love him.

The issue I have with grealish is his off field habits. Watching him this season it’s clear it’s catching up with him. He looks slow and unfit. Everton fans are starting to turn on him too saying he doesn’t produce enough and he never takes a man on.

Just glad he isn’t our problem right now but he will be in the summer sadly. I can see various loans until his contract runs out.

Only bright side is the fact his performances for Everton and cherki’s performances have made the fans who said it was all on pep look even more stupid than they did before.

Rice hasn't been brilliant. He has about 2 good games a season for them and they start talking about him winning Ballon d'Or! No way he's worth £100m

Jack was £100m and was integral to us winning the lot in 23. Rice hasn't done that
 
Along with Rodri, Super Jack played the most minutes during a treble season for us, making him an instrumental part of a history making season.

It was clear to see following that season, Jack quickly rested on his laurels which saw his City career stagnate immediately.

You don’t get many chances at the highest level of elite football clubs, we were desperate for people to stand up last season and he was nowhere to be seen.

One great season in the shirts, and what a season it was so will always be remembered highly for me.

Off the pitch you couldn’t wish to me a more first class, down to earth fella who everybody would want as ‘that’ mate.

I think you’re massively down playing rice’s impact. Arsenal have been the most consistent side over the last few years and rice has been crucial to that.

If your judging a player purely on what they have won they I assume you have John O’Shea and Darren fletcher above the likes of Steven gerrard and harry kane?

I'm judging a player based on the impact they've had on a winning team. Jack tops that out of all the above mentioned £100m players.

Well I think that logic is completely flawed. I’m not going to go over old ground but imo other players in that treble side produced a lot more during that season. Grealish was a cog but Rodri, haaland, Dias, ederson, gundogan, Bernardo etc all played a much bigger role.

Way I look at is simple. Rice has had a much bigger impact at arsenal than grealish had at city. Aside for a good 6 months or so grealish was largely poor.
 
Looks like the same old Jack at Everton

Brilliant ambassador for the club but begining to struggle form wise.
Have the Everton fans started calling for him to play a central role yet.
