its hard to miss the point of what would City fans say in general if he had made his move to Chelsea or United for 100m and performed exactly like he has at City.
all 3 big money transfers from last summer are pretty clear flops based on their first season imo.
Grealish, Lukaku, Sancho. there can be an argument how their second season might become better. no guarantees tho. this he will play better with a top striker, yes that is true for everyone else in the team. actuallly with a top striker some of the players we have playing regularly will be sitting on the bench an awful lot more. could be Grealish if he does not get better.
i will be honest if Villa would come back this summer and say here is your 100m we want him back, I would not hesitate.
also dont rate Pep's ways highly of basically he stuck him out on the left 90% of the time replacing either Foden or Sterling on the left meaning a lot less goal strong player is now part of our front three.
he will not score more than 3-4 goals a season even if played as left winger.
thats not a good thing when that means less playing time for Foden/Sterling on the left who both can can to 10/15 goals playing from same position.
