10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

I wouldn't say he was a poor signing. He would have been a great signing at £30m or £40m imo.

The £100m fee is a millstone he's been carrying since he arrived.

Villa took Txiki to the cleaners, just like Wolves did with Swales. The £100m fee was even more embarrassing than that we paid for Steve Daley.
I dont usually mention his fee but really if we paid it for kev, dave or lots more of our legends i would say we underpaid
 
Have you not noticed that Pep's teams are full of players who don't seem to be allowed to 'play for themselves', due to a very rigid system?

Grealish is no different to Alvarez, Jesus, Cole Palmer etc... shoehorned into a system that limited their ability to play natural game.
Yet Alvarez, Jesus and even palmer scored and assisted consistently.

Grealish is so slow in thought and lacks any pace to get a yard to make a cross or get his shots away (hence why it’s always blocked). Never rated him at villa and his time at city has been even worse than I could have imagined tbh.

Sad but true.

Don't remember Jesus scoring & assisting consistently for. More like the polar opposite.

Jesus was never amazing in terms of output, but compared to the forward line we have now (bar Haaland) he was basically Ibrahimovic. I was not disappointed when we sold Jesus and I didn't regret selling him even when he was crushing it in his first few weeks at Arsenal - but I would take him back in an absolute heartbeat now. That says a lot. He is a better player than Doku, Savio or Grealish. We sold him because he wasn't good enough to start regularly but almost every other forward we have signed since that day has been much further from 'good enough'.

The way I remember it, Palmer was abysmally bad for almost all of his last year with us. He only started looking like he was anywhere near good enough in the few weeks before he left. I remember him being embarrassingly far below the required level for all of his last full season.

I will grant you Alvarez and Jesus but I don't blame the board whatsoever for selling Palmer, I thought he was absolutely shocking.
