You post on an internet forum, and you are going in on a multi millionaire footballer, with 3 premier league titles, a champions league, an fa cup, a club world cup, a super cup. What is the difference you fucking bell end wet wipe.

I'm speaking from a position of knowledge. You're speaking from a position of ignorance. Notwithstanding that, I hope you enjoy posting on the Spurs version of Bluemoon next season. They'll welcome you with open legs.

Ignorance? I joked about virgins like you who cannot see one bad word about Pep to even consider he may have mismanaged this one. To claim Jack hasn't taken his chances this season, whilst persisting with the shit on display each week, is insulting. If you know more than us feel free to educate us, we only know what we get to hear. If you wish to withhold that information then don't complain if others have an opinion based on what we know.

I am a City fan mate, not a fangirl Pep fan like you, helmet.

It's insulting being lied to by our gaffer. Hard position though because it was always clear that it was personal and off the field reasons. But put it this way, Jack starts and scores against Leicester, dropped the next game, comes on against PSG and scores, dropped, plays central against Forest and looks great, dropped the next week. Played well in his cup performances, albeit against lesser sides but then doesn't get a sniff the week after. It is insulting from Pep because what player took their chances last season and deserved to be repeatedly picked? None. It was personal and fair enough but don't insult our intelligence Josep

Let's hope the new batch aren't er ...... young lads that go out......the bench and being ostracised beckons.
Poor handling this one Pep (similar to Phillips).
 
This is probably a post more suited to the Transfer Forum (apologies, if so) but it's hard to see where Grealish can go. His wages are that huge,l (£300k, is it?) that I suspect a loan (followed by an inevitable cheap move) might be the only way forward for him.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
And happy to see Jack do well wherever he winds up too. He seems a decent sort.
 
we need to pay him off, at least that portion what his next wages will be vs current salary for next two years.
dont mind Viana is involved and this and see what happens when you get a mega signing kind of wrong or very much overpriced at unreal salary and he doesnt work out as well as hoped. this could be a moment for him to learn from other people's mistakes.
paying 100m for him and the salary we offered, would be like to make MGW our highest paid player and offer 120m for him. fucking nonsense.

If i was ITK I would either be informing people of my inside info or staying out of conversations, telling people they are wrong without disclosing said info which makes them wrong. What is the point?

His message implies behind the scenes issues with Grealish, as expected. My counter to that is why have him fill up a seat on the bench, why have players, young players who contributed to our cup run bombed out on cup final day, to have Jack sat there with no intention of playing him. Heaven forbid you should ask such questions about Pep, Billygimp won't be happy about that.

Nobody would have bothered by the 100 million fee if he performed at the same level in the last 2 seasons as he did in the treble winning season.

The second half of the treble winning season. The last 2 seasons he has performed pretty much as he did till november/december that season prior to not featuring in the world cup.

Which added to the same thing the season before, is the issue. He has had half a good season in 4.

But he was a key part in the treble, and arguably we couldn't have done it without him.
 
If he is as good as some think then i don't see £300k putting top teams off him, that's just the going rate for a top player, especially one who without, City don't win the treble. I expect a queue of top sides across Europe clamoring for his signature, especially now they all know we want rid.

Would rather he not wound up at Newcastle (unless we can finesse a deal that sees Livramento coming the other way if we use Jack and cash) or Arsenal. A midtable side or elsewhere in Europe would be preferred.

Hmm, maybe, maybe not. My definition of world class Is a player who's proven himself for club and country for at least 2 seasons with several MOTM stand out performances andaverages 7 anything above 7.5 per game And has involvement in game changing moments either attacking or defending or both in individual and team effort.

Jack Grealish is the type of player the best teams need, properly the best at holding the ball and hard to knock off it
The Media loved him and Villa, then hated him at City

Jack needs to sort out his demons, then look at himself in the mirror and say I've enough of this shit and put the his career back on track before its to late, Peps publicly said he loves Jack and wants the old jack back ? So there is stuff going on in the background with Jack that we don't know about
 
Feels like post Grealish's exit, maybe in 6 7 months some ITK will reveal what actually happened behind the scenes.
Clearly something happened because Pep can absorb bad performances on the pitch if you are one of those hard working, disciplined, excellent in training players. Exhibit A - BSilva

Removing him outright from the team means Pep's patience clearly ran out. What a waste of talent and ofcourse 100 million!

It’s hardly rocket science is it. He was left out of Fulham last season (during a title run in) as he was in no fit state to train (should have fucked him off then imo)

Pep gave him his last chance. England didn’t take him to the euros. He promised city, pep, England he would sort himself out.

Fast forward this season. He has been plagued by injuries and once again has not been looking after himself off the pitch. Pep has finally lost it with him

Funny thing is to those slagging pep off the irony is pep has done more to protect Jack then almost anyone. Pep was the one who wanted Jack and he pushed the club to get it done. Perhaps that is why Jack has had so many chances. The bridges have finally been burnt. It’s nothing to do with his on pitch performances (which haven’t been good anyways imo)
 
In hindsight, Jack should have been sold last summer. He might have fetched 50m or so. Now I don't think a team will pay 35m AND pay him, say, 300k a week. Some club might be tempted to offer him big wages only if we sell on the cheap, 25m or so.

A big problem with him is, he can't stay fit long enough these days. Will be difficult to sell him. A loan out with option to buy is the most likely scenario.

Definitely should’ve moved last summer seeing how this season turned out for him. Think the fitness issues come down to how little he’s played/how much he’s been rotated. He plays hard when he does get a chance but his body can’t take the stop/start nature of his usage.
