10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[fuskarn]

Stones wasn't called up?

"But mostly annoyed that he/our medical team didn't get the chance to tell England not to call him up?" wasnt a problem with stones who did not get called up and is injured?

In the gym for some minutes, and one days training. Not surprised pep is pissed he wants to go tbh.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Yeah, pep is just about refraining from going all in on him in public but watching that he's not happy that grealish is very clearly putting country before club here at a time where we need full commitment. That's bound to majorly piss off pep, and rightly so.

I wouldn't swap him for any Spurs player but if he wants to leave then fair enough they have to cough up.

You wouldn't? I'd love van de ven, he'd be my number 1 choice for defensive reinforcement, if throwing grealish into the deal secured that, I'd do it tomorrow. Bissouma could also be very useful for our rodri shaped hole in midfield. Pedro porro would be our first choice right back if we hadn't sold him, son even just a few years off retirement is better than any winger we currently have. Plenty of quality at spurs.

Maybe, but I thought he looked particularly pissed off when he paused before saying Jack wants to go

I think Pep's been here before with a lot of our players who have at various times chosen to play for their country when he might prefer them to stay home and train at City.

It pisses him off - especially if they come back injured - but I get the impression he understands how the players feel about representing their countries and that given the opportunity, most of them will always want to go.

He may not be pleased but I don't see anything in that clip that suggests irreconcilable differences or a breakdown of the player-coach relationship.

Of course, that might become more strained if he comes back with an injury set-back.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pep definitely isn't happy

No, no, no, we’ve been told all is well between Pep and Jack and we are all pathetic cunts for wondering….

I hope so because we need all the players to get us through at the moment, but there's definitely some tension there

 

[come-on-barney]

How anyone can honestly think Pep is not annoyed with him is beyond me, and I am a big Jack fan. Sounds like there might be one or two player problems. I hope Pep signs up for the rebuild and ships out those that don’t want to be here. His quote midweek about those players who want to follow, will follow. Go on Pep sign up and ship out those that don’t want to be here.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

As suspected, it’s all about timing. Grealish is back in time for the medical staff to give him the all clear, but he’s not played in 2 weeks.

Pep wants him to pull out and Grealish wants to play for his country.

Guess it’ll only really be an issue if he comes back injured.

Grealish apparently listened to Pep in March and gave up his spot in that national call up.

Did not do him good did it?

 

[meeesh]

Ahh right fair enough I hadn’t seen or read that, probably not right like but after just watching the embargoed part of the presser this could quite easily turn into another soap opera now, all we bastard need
