10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Mattyc55]

Needs selling - absolutely shite tonight

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Maddison was a fraction of Jack's transfer fee. Madness

Yeah, £40mil for Maddison, Olise was achievable for £35mil - Chelsea were accused of tapping him up but that made the release clause well known. He’d have come to us off the back of the treble.

 

[Chak19]

He only keeps the ball well because it’s his only option. His brain isn’t quick enough to release it quickly or identify chances. He keeps getting fouled because he holds onto it for too long, not because he’s this Neymar-esque player they’re trying to kick out the game.

Really poor signing, we’ve had our pants pulled down paying £100mil and 300k a week. Was laughed at for suggesting Maddison or Olise were better options, especially for the price.

Nice lad but he’s maybe had 6 decent months during the treble season and that was still below what we’ve been used to from Sterling, Sane, Mahrez etc.

Yes mate it's so obvious that he doesn't have the ability to think quickly, his style of play only works if we're winning and we need someone to annoy the opposition and win a few fouls, he's the last guy you can count on to get you back in the game, he had one purple patch in the treble season and that's it, don't think he justifies spending 50 million on him let alone 100.

 

[DMA's]

Think it’s safe to say he just isn’t very good

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

To the surprise of nobody, he is not a midfielder.

 

[meeesh]

Back on bench Sunday, especially if Kovacic is back

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Created 3 goalscoring opportunities tonight - one for Haaland, one for Bernardo, one for KDB. One of those goes in and this thread is empty.

Disaster class. Had absolutely no idea how to play in midfield, Spent more time standing still looking around as if he'd dropped his wallet trying to figure out where to go stand than he did doing anything on the ball.

Don't neccesarily blame him for it, there's a reason he's never played in central midfield despite the vocal few that repeatedly insist he's tailormade for it.

Clear evidence why Peps avoided sticking him there for 4 years. He's a left winger and nothing else and as a left winger he's probably 4th choice.

Not true. Erling missed. We lost.
Jack played decent.

3 months let's not exaggerate.
