What has that to do with comments about his contribution on the pitch?
I mostly agree but when you are the most expensive player in the country you will always be defined by your price tag.Thing is, we probably overpaid a few quid for Jack, but so what? Some you win and some you lose. It’s not like we’ve done a Sanchez.
He’s clearly a really popular member of the squad and seems like a nice guy. And is a really good footballer. that Pep clearly rates. Which has to be a decent benchmark. So what if he doesn’t do complete justice to his price tag, as long as he makes the squad better overall? Which he undoubtedly does.
Don’t get the hate for him from some quarters. Just can’t see what there is to dislike about him.
We overpaid for Michael Robinson, but it didn’t stop him having an amazing career. Get over it. Jack is an important part of this squad.
Compare him to Palmer's first half. He was beating his man, getting crosses in and had a couple of shots. Also laid the ball back into midfield first touch when there was nothing else on. Why can't Jack do all of this?I think that he wanted to try a cut back using his left foot but unable to beat Gomez. He did quite often at Villa/England and sometimes last season here at City.
But yes I agree with you. Jack was not up to speed when coming on. Phil and John were a bit off as well. They grew into the game more after 5mins. I won't be too worried. After all they only had one brief training session the day before.
Corrected it for you budI mostly agree but when you are the most expensive player in the country I will always define that player by their price tag.
Because Liverpool was playing several C team players in the midfield with old Milner in the first half. When Liverpool subbed their A team players on, Pep took Palmer off. It tells you all.Compare him to Palmer's first half. He was beating his man, getting crosses in and had a couple of shots.

I don't think so. Cuz Pep will not give him a chance in the big game. I hope that Pep gets him some stats and sell him next summer. I rate the player but City is not the best place for him.We haven't seen the best of Jack yet imo.. he looked quality in a recent game, Chelsea at home in carabao, I think.. Hopefully he gets a big game winner/confidence booster to get him going consistently.
Problem is you can’t really have him and KDB free to roam anywhere whilst essentially playing with 3 forwards. No chance Grealish gets that role ahead of KDB or probably Foden in the futureGot to get Jack off the wing where he can be double teamed and blocked off.
He has to be given his Villa role where he picks up the ball deep and goes on a run. Often he can't be stopped unless they foul him. That leads to plenty of free kicks on the edges of the box and ideal for KDB and Ryhad.
Not really mateCorrected it for you bud
Tell us more about this marketing, it gets bandied about all the time. How much money has he brought into the club?I see people here still seems to have not taken well, to the fact that we paid 100 mil for jack for his marketing potential and is never going to be a 100 mil player on the pitch.
Pretty much none. It’s rubbish. Haaland has marketing potential because he attracts new fans and sponsors but Grealish doesn’t.Tell us more about this marketing, it gets bandied about all the time. How much money has he brought into the club?
marketing is not about direct money, but also about brand expansion and brand introduction which usually pays off in the long term, after the branding asset is no longer even active. I know it is hard for people who are not educated or practiced in marketing to understand such concepts. But I assure you there are dedicated marketing teams to analyze this in any big organization.Tell us more about this marketing, it gets bandied about all the time.

Great guy but he's not cut out for it at us
Never a £100mil player, and its not to fault, but he looks so out of place for us.... he doesn't know what to do
It not just about the goals, but he has 1 goal and zero assists in 14 starts with a few sub roles thrown in
He is an attacker, he played on the left for Villa, he plays on the left for us....its pretty inexcusable to have a poor impact on games
