Chelsea will take him.Two years left on his contract next summer and his book value will be 40 mill. He is on top wages and he will be 30 next September. I can't imagine the club will be considering a contract extension based on his recent contribution but I think he could be difficult to move on. Assuming we don't want to see him run his contract down and move in summer 2027 for free then it's hard to see a club that he would consider moving to who would pay say his book value and take his wages on.
There 'may' be Saudi interest but I'd be surprised if he moved there and after that I don't see a host of eager buyers. Could be very tricky.

Grealish isn't as nailed on a starter for big games as he once was. I agree that he'd most probably start him over Doku in another CL final but I think it's mainly because Pep knows Doku is a good impact player to bring on who can make things happen, just like he did in the FA Cup final. I agree that Jack gives us more control, I also agree we're less open to dangerous counter attacks and he creates for players around him. I also think Jack should be more creative for himself by beating his man, by crossing the ball and by being more direct on goal.So Pep wants all these things according to some he doesn’t do that picks him regularly. Hardly likely. Put it this way if we had a fully fit squad and were playing a C/L final I’d expect Jack to be picked before Doku.
If you want my opinion why then I’d say he give us more control, and leaves us less open to dangerous counters, creates space for those around him.Is that why Pep likes him and picks him, maybe I’d say probably but whether it’s that or something else he has good reason.
Doku makes mistakes and can not hold onto the ball as well as Jack but he's not as experienced. But he's less predictable, tries to make things happen and more exciting to watch, and watching exciting football is a big reason why I pay my money and go through the turnstile.

That's an option. In two and a half years the entire 100 mill fee is fully amortised and his book value will be zero.Let’s keep the kid then.
I'm not sure the club will see that as a great option mind.

You are deluded if you think Grealish had the same contribution as that waste of space. Take your head for a wobbleKalvin Philips has all those medals too.

That's not what I implied at all. Just saying he too can claim to be a treble winner and has the medals to prove it. Of course he made no contribution but he still has them.You are deluded if you think Grealish had the same contribution as that waste of space. Take your head for a wobble

It's not a case of winning. Most on here want Grealish to do well, I know I do. Pointing out any criticism or praise is neither winning or losing anything. And this thread like all the other player performance threads is there to discuss players on whether they're doing well or not.Time for this thread to take a breather. The dozen loud people have won here.

I will be supporting Jack. The lad is a hard working City player and gets our philosophy and our enthusiasm. He is great.
