Interest in Grealish ahead of Jan

[Lord Blue]

Love

Of all the bizarre comments posted on this forum, I think this tops the lot.

I know and I love them both but I feel Erls lack of involvement in our build up play is a contributing factor in our current malaise.

Grealish has been frustrating but Pep's tactics have been equally so.

I'd prefer to keep Grealish and have Pep play him in a free role.

Did that include Cash kicking the fuck out of him and rhe complicit ref allowing it?

Didn't go anywhere near Cash after the booking.
I doubt we'll reach a common ground here.
No end product from out wide recently, and apparently not trusted for the central role - where does that leave him and the club??
If he doesn't go in a deal in Jan I'd be surprised if he's with us come August

I’d rather keep Jack than Big Erl to be honest.

Jack isn’t the problem, his straight jacket is.

But he's not getting it taken off with Pep in charge, so one has to go - my money isn't on Pep.

My money is on neither going, as are my hopes.

It's funny he mentioned straitjackets because that post was certifiable!

What the fuck have his wages got to with with anything ?? FFS we made a profit of £72M. What about Stones,Walker, KDB,Ake, Gundo all of whom have probably played the same amount of times as Jack over the passed 12 months and on enormous salaries just like Jack.
Lets put it into perspective. This is down to Pep who constantly plays him as a left winger, which is a waste of his talent and he looks more at home when playing in the centre of the park or playing in a number 10 role.

The guy is pretty much on 300k a week sitting on the bench, no matter how much profit you make this is just nonsensical, even more so when that same 300k a week could be going towards a world class player.

KDB, Ake and Stones have all made bigger contributions over the last 18 months than jack regardless of if they have played more/less or the same amount, even walker and gundo have been available.

The perspective is that he's our record signing, the club spent 100m on him, he didn't score a single goal in 2024, this is much more than just "Pep plays him as a left winger", even now when we are in dire need of just legs on the pitch he can barely get a sniff of playing time.

His best position is at the bar drinking shots at 4am unfortunately. As I’ve witnessed very recently

If you were still at the bar at 4am it could have been anyone you saw

Kev and Gundo are 5 years older than Jack. I’d replace them first and play Jack inside before considering selling him. I don’t think that is straitjacket material. Considering selling him is.

Yea it's weird we're complaining about lack of legs and fitness and we still have to move de Bruyne, Walker, Bernardo and Ederson who are either past it or mentally out the door already.
