If you have a blind spot to a particular then you can spin it to your suit your purpose. Stat padding can be misleading. Grealish still has a part to play this season regardless if you think he is creative or not.

They’ve all played more games/minutes than Grealish (and De Bruyne), some have been injury free so it’s reasonably obvious they’d have more assists.According to FotMob, the top 10 the most chances created in PL in 2024, which, in my view reflects more accurately in terms of overall performances so far, is:
(1) Palmer
(2) Saka
(3) Tielemans
(4) B Fernandes
(5) Kulusevski
(6) L Davis
(7) Gordon
(8) Bowen
(9) B Silva
(10) Pereira
But per minute played, Grealish and De Bruyne are at the top.
It’s like Agüero. He scored a lot of goals for City but missed a lot of games; per games/minutes played, for anyone who’s scored over 100 goals, he is the best in PL history.

He’s never fit for more than a few weeks at a time. He’s as big a crock as anyone in the squad.He is one of the biggest flops in PL history. The amount of defenders he has is amazing. Imagine if it was Mahrez or Sterling barely scoring. The whole world is laughing about this „ possession“ bullshit people use to defend Grealish scorers. No one will pay 100M for a player just to keep the ball and have no output. In no damn system and in no damn position. He is getting outscored by our defenders. If he played for United, Arsenal, Spurs whoever you would create a thread like the „ ole at the wheel“ one and laugh yourself to death. Now that the whole team is playing bad there is no one to carry him. Giving him the #10 after Aguero has been a joke to me too.
How can anyone build any momentum with this kind of interrupted streak (this is his status for every City PL game played since the start of 2023-24):
Bench-started-started-injured-injured-sub3mins-sub10mins-bench-sub15mins-started-sub15mins-started-bench-sub30mins-injured-sub38mins-suspended-started-started-started-started-bench-sub13mins-bench-sub3mins-injured-injured-injured-injured-injured-sub30mins-started-started-bench-sub18mins-started-sub10mins-injured-injured-injured-bench-sub19mins-started-started-sub12mins-started-started-injured-injured-injured-sub16mins-sub11mins-started-sub4mins-sub15mins-started-unwell-bench…
He’s only started more than two consecutive games once since the treble. As a comparison, even De Bruyne who we all think of as injury ravaged and can’t get going, started 18 of City’s 23 games after he came back from injury in January to his latest injury in September, including the last 8 games of last season and the first 4 games of this season (12 PL games in a row).
In the games Grealish has started consecutively, that’s where he’s got all of his goals and assists over these past two seasons (bar one random goal against Spurs that wasn’t within a run of consecutive games).
It’s not that Grealish isn’t good enough… it’s that he’s never fit enough.

Good job. I still see much more benched or sub appearance in your summary. Players need regular minutes to keep fitness otherwise they get injury easily especially for the big build. Remember Palmer last seasons with us? He rarely played and got injury frequently.He’s never fit for more than a few weeks at a time. He’s as big a crock as anyone in the squad.

So I think that it is better for both parties to move on and let Grealish find a club where he can get constant game time.
That is better done in the summer than not in the middle of the season. The way the rumour mill is working it seems he is on his way ou mid season which would be a shit decision as there are slim pickings as a signing. McAtee would be an option but depth is still key. With Cancelo we still had no desperate need to enter the January transfer market (admittedly i did think it was a bullshit rumour to unsettle us when he was hastilty moved on to Bayern)

The earlier the better, for the sake of his careerNot mid season
Nah. He is not an up and coming EDS player and although he has been sporadic as Cole Palmer he is a useful player for this season's run in.The earlier the better, for the sake of his career

The lad has hardly played this season and still has 253 pages posted about him.
Even if you think he might be the biggest flop in PL history, why post it? What possible good can come from it?
