I am and will give him a chance, I am just pointing out that my opinions are based on what I watched during his time with Villa, he was never a player I watched and thought , wow I would love him at city, never.

nearly broke my TV at that. a player that refuses to use his left foot shouldn't play on the left wing.
There's four Wolves players between Grealish and the nearest City player in front of goal. A left footed cross in that situation gets cleared easily nearly every time.
I don't see any problem with it.
You are moving now from slating Gundogan to slating Grealish?
As I keep saying, Nolito is the only non-defensive summer signing that's immediately got off to a flying start under Pep. And we all know how that ended up. Whereas Bernardo, Sane, Mahrez, Rodri, Gundogan, even Cancelo - all of them took time to grow into their roles in the team. People were calling for Gundogan to be sold up until last summer!
And it's worth remembering that even players like Sergio, Kevin, David Silva - they all took time to adjust and learn Pep's way (Aguero's longest ever run without a goal came during Pep's first year). That's why we finished Pep's first season empty-handed, miles away from Conte's Chelsea, who were an instant hit and apparently "showed Pep how to do it in England". And look how that all turned out.
Jack's doing about average right now which, considering his price tag, isn't good enough yet. But the thing is, he knows it, Pep knows it, and it's not like Pep to ignore the finer details. And he's out of position. Like I said yesterday, if he's still at this level at the start of next season then we'll have to have serious words. But I've lost count of how many new players we've written off under Pep only for them to come good.
Pretty sure people used to level all these criticisms at Rodri and Gundogan.

He needs to simplify his game and take less touch’s of the ball. That will make him more affective for the team and less predictable in his play.

Well Pep said he wants to see it now/this season, so Jack doesn’t have time, Pep wants the European Cup before he goes..

He’s certainly predictable in his play.
