Don’t think so. Guardiola gave him his backing yesterday.

“He will be back. He’s struggled this season and Jeremy has made an incredible step forward as everyone has seen in the last games. But Jack will be back at the level of last season, I'm pretty sure.”

Would love to see Jack and doku in the same team and Phil

It may not mean anything, though. He can hardly write the player off publicly. We need to keep his values as high as possible if we decide to sell him, especially when it isn't easy to find a buyer.

One good season out of three isn't a great return for 100 mill. He needs to really step it up next season to prove his worth.

If we knew that signing Grealish would help us win the Treble, we would have paid even more to get him.

Given that he has been part of us winning the Treble and winning 4 titles in a row, we won’t have any regrets. He's been a valuable member of the squad and has helped Haaland to settle quickly.
 
His ADHD causes him to have a severe alcohol addiction. I guess he's got max 2-3 more years at the top and he'll go back to Villa or some other mid table Premier League team, or maybe he'll go to Serie A where pace isn't needed that much.

I don't get it also, try him somewhere else ffs. We have tried Walker in the midfield, why not give Jack a chance there? Is the idea so disgusting or abominable or what? It wouldn't take anything away from the manager if he tries Jack there and it works out.

I think there's some concern that if he's played there and he shines, then the pundits might say "See, we've always said it that the midfield was his natural position all along and he's manager has been wasting him on the wing all these years", I don't think that's a situation Pep wants to find himself in.

I'm m just going to say it, at this point it feels like an ego thing rather than a decision based on footballing reasons. Pep doesn't like being proven wrong and for things to remain that way, Jack would have to keep playing on the wing.

Do you work for The Sun? One of the most dramatic and fictional posts I've ever read on this forum. I rarely post so it's some achievement to get me to bite.

He's had a bad season by our extremely high standards. He's human like the rest of us...it doesn't mean he's an alcoholic and it certainly doesn't mean he's an alcoholic because he has ADHD.

Its actually quite offensive to even suggest as such.

Hope he has a great Euros and is back next season to prove his doubters (embarrassingly high number of City fans included) wrong. If he isn't, we'll move on and no doubt he will and have a great career regardless.

CTID!
 
Has he performed like a £100m player (whatever that is)?
Probably not.

Has he made a valuable contribution to our success over the last 3 seasons?
Definitely yes.

Would he be sorely missed on the pitch if he left?
Probably not really.

If he stays, will he keep making a positive contribution?
Probably.
