So just a coincidence that the transfer fee is exactly the same as the wages that they are prepared to subsidise.

The loan will be to the end of June 2026 (in accordance with established practice) which is 46 weeks which works out at over £300k pw, so not quite ‘exactly the same’. Even at 52 weeks it’s £270k pw.

You might be right, one could be in lieu of the other, but the maths you have deployed to support your argument don’t quite add up.

Either way, it’s a good move for Jack and City. His time here was clearly done.

Grealish to anywhere on loan is an admission of failure for Peps and the coaching staff. Just shows how privileged we have become when an 100 million pound player can be fobbed off on loan to another PL team. Its absurd.

Honestly we are way past that, everyone knows the transfer was a failure on the part of the scouts, the transfer team and the coaching team. That's nothing new

If true, it’s a huge commitment from Everton. At least a £23.5m layout for just one season for a player that has barely played any football for 18 months.

Oh yeah, lets just forget we spent 100 million pounds on a player we are prepared to loan out to another PL team.

I would like to know what exactly Jack Grealish did wrong? He loves City, he plays his heart out and is a good person. What the heck did he do?
Please don't say he got drunk at the parade....so did others but hid it well.
I will be really disappointed if Jack goes.

I love City, would play my heart out and think I’m a good person. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Sadly, he’s been seen worse the wear at more than just the parade. I wish he’d just give up the booze permanently, it’s not a good image for an athlete, if you want to play at an elite level then you have to think in an elite way.

I just can't imagine Everton doing that... that would be the deal of the century to get so much for a loaned player that Pep has clearly phased out. I'd have thought covering his wages would be more realistic, maybe with a couple million thrown in for good measure.
 
Good luck to Jack at Everton, hopefully gives him the platform he needs to get his career back on track. Loved him as a character around the club and that treble year he was really good for us but sadly he just hasn't been good enough these last two seasons.

I don't think you can call Grealish a failure for the simple fact that he was integral and played a major part in our Treble winning season.

He is a superstar that sold shirts and brought in new fans (look at all the kids with Grealish haircuts etc). Commercially it was a good decision at the time. He's contributed (although the price-tag has clearly weighed heavily on him).

Just consider that Liverpool spent around £80m on Darwin Nunes... £100m isn't that much in this day and age.
 
I like Jack but he suffers from a lack of pace and goals in a game where pace and goals have become 'it'. Maybe Everton and, potentially at least, playing more games will revitalise him. Win win for both clubs.

That’s exactly what I said. I’m struggling to see how anyone with even the most basic English comprehension skills could not deduce that from what I posted. Each to their own ffs.

To be fair gdm, I think @uwerosler28 read the 2nd 'paragraph' as it appears to be the sequitur to the immediately previous 'Jack has the skillset', rather than the comparison to Hoddle... just a misunderstanding of comment sequence
