It's an opinion. It may not be your opinion. Post a valid reply to counter please.

Every central midfielder we have is better than him.

Not if some of them leave and we don't buy another. He is a very good player and was instrumental to the treble.

You think if some leave we will not sign anybody else who is better than Jack.

I think this news could be the making of Grealish at City. I’d summarise his time here so far as playing it safe.

It’s almost like he thinks that all he has to do in the game is not fuck up as someone else will win us the game. As a result, he’s lost that spark he had at Villa and takes few risks in the game. It’s like he’s happy to contribute without wanting to be the match winner.

At first I thought it was Pep coaching it out of him or instructing him to keep the ball at all costs. But then you see the way Doku plays and it’s completely different.

Losing his place in the national side means he cannot accept turning up for us and playing safe. He needs to be more selfish and find that spark to be more direct with the ball. We know he’s got the ability to do it and having a full preseason will give him the chance to shine.

Not sure about this. I actually think he plays very similarly to Doku, except he hasn't got the burst of acceleration that Doku has. As a result of this he does end up turning back more often. Not sure Jack can change all that much. He still has his worth to us though.

I don't know to be honest but City are better with him than without him in my view. He can still rotate on the left also.

28 and sbould be in his prime but he has wasted a season , nobody else took it easy and went for the title again, they all had problems in their lives but it didnt affect them for ten months, he has to train well and really want to play or forget it

If on form but he is so off the pace that he contributed nowt in the run in.
Last chance saloon for him

He has to go away and live a quit life,stay out of the front pages and buckle down on his return.
If not his arse will be out the door before you can say Cancelo.

Now I don't think he has the speed of thought or awareness to play there for us. I'd like to be wrong here

No, you are not wrong here!
Grealish is not a Pep midfielder, no matter how talented people may think he is. Being a Pep midfielder is a different level. You'll have to be exceptional. Besides that, he doesn't even have the vision, creativity or the goal threat to be an effective 10 for this city side.

Might be the most boring, repetitive thread on this forum

Hopefully the long overdue kick up the arse he requires
