Oh do fuck off !!The bickering in this thread is sad to read.
I know I’m a bit of a WUM so it might be uncharacteristic of me, but can’t we all just agree that for whatever reasons it probably is best for player and club that they part ways, but wish Jack all the best for his future and be thankful for his contributions?
Arguing the toss over this and that isn’t doing anyone any favours and just clouds his legacy. Yes it could’ve been better but he also contributed loads and was central to our greatest ever achievement. Both things can be true, it isn’t a zero sum game.

I honestly don't think it has anything to.do with that. His supposed liking a drink, celebrating trophies, being pictured out. Walker did all that, played loads. Stones did a lot of it, played (when fit).Perhaps Pep said to the players after the treble go out and enjoy yourselves but remember you are top athletes.
I seem to remember Jack being photographed a fair few times being helped out of night clubs in the early hours.
Just my gut feeling that Pep won't have liked that. OK leave early morning but not off your face !
Think it is more to do with what Jack did on the pitch and in training.

That's all very well but this is the internet and someone has to win.The bickering in this thread is sad to read.

That was such a flat game to go to, the league was over by the time we played there.Conway scored in our last league game of the season at Coventry when we finished second to the red scousers in 1977.

Jack is an alter boy compared to the likes of Romario, Ronaldinho and even good ol' granny shagging shrek, However going hard in their "pursuit of happiness" didn't stop them from performing at the highest levelI honestly don't think it has anything to.do with that.

That was a while back, today thanks to social media, our demands as fans ( see every matchday thread!) no chance, and at 300k per week not a lot to ask.Jack is an alter boy compared to the likes of Romario, Ronaldinho and even good ol' granny shagging shrek, However going hard in their "pursuit of happiness" didn't stop them from performing at the highest level

Not sure of how much truth there is to the news that Leverkusen are interested in Grealish but they should flipping do one given they’re about to help prop up Liverpools squad significantly in the coming season.
What do you want them to do ?Not sure of how much truth there is to the news that Leverkusen are interested in Grealish but they should flipping do one given they’re about to help prop up Liverpools squad significantly in the coming season.

Loaning him out whilst subsidising his wages shouldn't even be considered. We're better off knocking 5 mil off the asking price and selling him this summer.

Well, they will have €150m burning a hole in their pocket to spend.

Looks like we want to sell than loan out but I'll be very surprised if we get anywhere near 50mil unless it's from a Saudi club.

Agreed, to be honest I'd be surprised to receive a fee based on the salary he will be asking for.Looks like we want to sell than loan out but I'll be very surprised if we get anywhere near 50mil unless it's from a Saudi club.

There's plenty of interest tor taking him on loan but that's not in our best interests. I think we should ask 30m but be prepared to accept maybe 25m.Agreed, to be honest I'd be surprised to receive a fee based on the salary he will be asking for.
Grealish needs to be realistic and accept a lower salary if he wants regular football with a chance to establish himself back into the England squad.

City have done it before where they sold a player got a decent receipt but carried on paying the difference in wages for the length of the City contract. Rather then knock it off the transfer fee, it seems the preferred way.Agreed, to be honest I'd be surprised to receive a fee based on the salary he will be asking for.
