Isn't he already making it? He is a first-team regular for the champions of the world's biggest league. Like every player, he can improve, but I suspect no player in history (to some people) could ever justify such a fee.

Done nothing up to now to justify the fee, we have overpaid .
Now a small fish in a big pond .
Will he make it ? not sure ,up to him to believe in his ability instead of playing safe & average.
He doesnt have to justify it,as its irrelevant.
In the main....That's how he is being instructed to play.

Not pulling up trees & making headlines with us up to now for me.Isn't he already making it? He is a first-team regular for the champions of the world's biggest league. Like every player, he can improve, but I suspect no player in history (to some people) could ever justify such a fee.
Players in the squad should be disappointed that he gets picked before them ,except mahrez lol!
I disagree. I think there are a few players not performing to their highest ability at the moment: Phil and KDB being just two. The singling out of Jack, by members of our own fanbase, is a little peculiar, IMO.Not pulling up trees & making headlines with us up to now for me.

For 100m of someone else's money, the least I think we can expect is a couple of goals and an assist or two per game. Hat tricks preferably. To prove its possible to produce such numbers, I read about this lad once, Roy Race his name was, who had incredible stats, goal after goal after assist. Bet he didnt cost 100 million.

We are all entitled to have different opinions i respect yours .
For me i don't think he will be at city within 12-18mths regardless of him being told to play this way or not .

We used to be everyone's second favorite team, why?, because we were losers.Agree that opposition
Agree that opposition fans always have opposing players who are figures of ridicule or even hatred.
Remember, before the 2010's, we hadn't had any real success for decades. Perhaps City, as we weren't that good, didn't have many players who got "stick" from opposing fans. We certainly didn't spend big, so nobody had a price tag on their back.
We were everyone's favourite "underdog", with fans who were seen as a bit odd e.g. with the inflatable banana craze.
The media never targeted City players or managers, that I can remember ?
However, as City have become the most successful team of the last decade, we are now getting the shite that other dominant teams have received.
It is pure jealousy from other clubs, which is understandable.
However, the big change I believe is from the media. There are now far too many media shills who are eager to pour scorn and vitriol on what City are achieving.
Yes, Sancho has not been a success - yet. However, MUFC seem to have a protective wall that does not permit much media criticism for its players or management. Only the owners get flack.
This just shows that the UK media is not impartial and it's support is "bought".
Jack Grealish, because of his £100 million price tag, will get targeted. Also, some City fans think he has not yet met the expectations or performance levels, when he signed.
The big difference is City are now a club that are the media's "sky blue devils".
Unless we pander more to the UK media, we must accept that any slight mishap (e.g. Grealish under-performing) will be a stick to beat the club...
Now we are hated because we are serial winners and it's lovely.
