Grealish left out of the CWC squad (pg34)

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Yes but you have to admit he slows our game down and that’s the last thing we need this season. We need forward thinking players. Jacks a good closer and he’s valuable to bring late on when we need to manage a game.

He slows us down no more than Doku or Savio

 

[doobyedoobye]

Dias and Grealish market themselves as style icons hence the content they share, doesn't mean too much else

 

[johnevans]

Well Rashford of the Barcelona because he is there priority for the left side! Hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahaahahha

Rashford agent brother must be paying Barcelona to spin this lie

'Rashford of the Barcelona' reminded me of 'Bunter of the Remove'!

Given Rashford's performances over the past few years, I wonder if supporters of The Red Filth might make the (not entirely unfair?!) comparisons between him and Billy Bunter, with reference to author Frank Richards' description of 'The Owl of the Remove' being 'lazy, self-centred and conceited'..?

Grealish costs about £2.7m per month

Complete madness!

Fuck all compared with how much Phillips costs us and has given us back

 

[BlueMooner87]

That shouldn't be a benchmark for a £100m player should it?

I worry we will be stuck with him again, his unprofessionalism and bonkers wages dont seem to be attracting any suitors.

Can you please share evidence of your allegation of unprofessionalism you are stating as fact?,as far as I can see there is no reports of him ever doing anything against club rules in his time here.

I mean I’ll just jump in quickly to say he and foden where sent him from training few years back for not being in right state and grealish was left out of Fulham squad during title run in as wasn’t training properly.

So that’s two just off top of my head. Not to mention the ones the club kept quiet to protect the player and his value.

The clear lack of control when drinking at any event he attends, he is shown completly shitfaced, there are numerous videos of him stumbling out of places. Thats not the behaviour of a professional athelete, especially one who is supposed to be elite.
By no means am I saying he must not drink but he drinks far more than he should as an elite professional athlete.

Alot of fans like his pissed up antics but I find it quite pathetic and in my opinion his performances during his time with us have been fucking abysmal for the amount he costed, half of a good season doesnt make up for the rest of his time.

Pep clearly agrees aswell, brining on echerverri in cup final ahead of him and leaving him at home during club World Cup clearly shows this.

At the last bash, the one only days before the rag cup final, it was widely reported that KDB was the last to leave. Bearing in mind his injury record you could ask if that was very professional of him but, as its KDB, not a word was said.
City knew what they were getting with Jack and he did not set the price.

The videos of KDB showed him compos mentis when he was leaving showing he knows his limits, grealish however was obliterated when he was leaving

Seen pics of him with his family, training and looking fit as fuck but then in the same batch he’s on a night out and is boozing. Now if the lad has a problem this isn’t the best advertisement for getting someone to buy him.

Trying to go 50-50 as a sportsman and one of the "lads" is what led to his current situation. You can't do both in the modern game, even the best footballers dedicate 60 or 70 percent of their time,wellness and social life to football.

The days of Best, Maradonna, Romario are long gone, even a player like Ronaldinho tried that lifestyle and it cost him a lot in his career and that was in the mid to late 2000s, by the early part of the 2010's he had become a washed up player.

The science and requirements of the game now is just too demanding, that's why it's no longer as fun as it used to be both for the players and the fans, nevertheless that's the profession Jack decided to take up and as a professional, I am not sure what it would take for him to realise that he's literally self-destructing in front of the entire world all because of some silly "lad" lifestyle that he just doesn't seem interested in shaking off.

It is like when Lee Sharpe got bounced by Mutd as bad influence on the younger players.

Hate to say it but he did have a decent time there, showed up for some big games, unfortunately for him, the young and in-form "abomiable brother wife fucker" was a better winger and that contributed to pushing Lee out of that team

They were 433 around then and both played, RG on the right so both played at first, but Sharpe lost out when both RG and AK where preferred with the latter moving to the right. When Sharpe should have been achieving his peak the trap door opened.

AK was a very nice winger, wonder why some wingers don't stick around for a while, kind of like Sane never sticking around for more than 4 years

I thought he played well a couple of games for us, Newcastle away in particular with his run and diagonal ball for Goater's winner, but he was an old fashioned winger not ideal for a Royle team in a defensive setup in the PL the same reason Kennedy didn't thrive once promoted. Probably on good money for each move and declined a bit when he got slower so dropped down the level of team he played at each season.

 

[oldius]

I would be surprised if anyone here has the inside track on player behaviour: we tend to keep things in-house. Stating as fact that his behaviour is unprofessional seems wrong, to me. He has holidays and days off and he is news - his looks, style, and price tag make him perfect media-fodder, and the tribalism of football means that he will be condemned for the slightest step off the 'Southgate line'.
He has been a decent player for us, and part of a great squad. He was never a G/A genius, but his price tag means that some expected that and condemned him when he didn't deliver. Whatever happens with him and us, I will wish him well for the great times he helped to deliver for us, and for him being (what appears to be) a genuinely caring and sensitive fella. He is someone that may struggle without the discipline of the professional game, and I hope that he manages to navigate that to a long and happy life.

 

[bluestevei]

can i just say, when hes been on our parades when we have won the league, hes pissed but we dont play again until auguest so it doesnt matter if he gets pissed on holidays as long as hes not pissed when coming back, hes a human who likes a drink when on breaks, how many on her goes on holis and stay sober

 

[citymad]

It could've been a lot better, he had the talent and some fantastic players around him.
