10 | Jack Grealish - 2024/25

[Pedestrian]

Awful lot of Spurs fans on twitter fervently wishing the rumours of their interest to be true (I'll let you argue how much of a top side they are but surely the gulf between us isn't that great) and lamenting that Levy probably won't fork out for him.

I saw more than one of them saying he suits them more than Son, which is even more proof than this thread that football fans really don't appreciate what they have.

‘Spurs fans on Twitter’. Fucking hell. Ask them the lottery numbers.

Think we look so much worse when he isn't in the team.

Looks can be deceiving.

If he suffers a setback on international duty then we could be properly fucked.

We have been so slack in possession for the last few weeks and as much as there are valid criticisms of him, right now we need the control he brings.

He would be the one that is *ucked, his career with us would be right royaly *ucked.

I think he is already in his managers bad books.

I think he’s been very underwhelming for us but I think if he moves to the right club for him he could thrive there. A bit like if Pogba or Sanchez had came to city instead of United I think their careers would have be been totally different

Txiki at his naughtiest best.

It is what it is. My only concern is what we need and right now we can't keep hold of the ball, take the sting out of a game or press with any real energy. Those are things he gives us.

Get him back after the international break and get him in the middle of the park. His ball retention is one of the best at the club. He can and will run like fuck and if he isn’t told to just pass inside or backwards, which I’m convinced he is, he will be more creative.

We bought him from Villa because he excelled in a more central role, then put him on the wing. I agree he’s been underwhelming for the most part, but let’s give him a chance. It’s the perfect opportunity

I don’t think we’ve got much to lose at the moment given how poor our midfield is.

Grealish must know that his City career is slipping away from him, so I would expect him to be up for the challenge even if it doesn’t work out for him.

Seems more interested in playing for England than he does City.

What annoys me about this particular situation is the whole number of games argument. We have players moaning about the sheer number of games, we get a player who has been injured and unable to play at club level, refusing to make himself unavailable at international level. He basically had a free pass to make himself unavailable and he has chosen not to. They can’t have it both ways.
