Interest in Grealish ahead of Jan

[Zenmanc]

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.

I agree. He simply isn't a winger- especially if his fitness if questionable. He dribbles into the corner and simply doesn't have the move or the pace to produce a final product. Put him more central and his hold up, control and ease of movement on the ball shine better and would be more what we need than him trying and failing to beat someone down the left.

My ridiculous - bored not wanting to work on a Monday after the last 9 days off Pep would never fucking buy it line up:

LW Doku..................................RW Savinho
.......LM Jack.....F9 Phil/KDB...RM McAtee......
..............(#?) Kova...........(#?)Bernie..........
.....LCB Gvad........CB Ake........RCB Akanji....

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

That’s the reason him and Walker were left out against Everton, both out on the piss until, the early hours.

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.

+ The fact if he sold him now for saying 30 million they can write that off against the 100 million across 5 years

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

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

Perhaps you could help him as you seemed to have escaped from yours.

We will only be holding his current asset value on the books , so the 100m less 3 years depreciation probably at 20m a year so roughly 40m book value unless there has been any kind of revaluation which wouldn't surprise me given his <100m worth of output since purchase. A 30m sale will give us a 10m loss on what we are likely holding on the books.

Just got to love these posts - has as much credibility as Rashford has as a star player.

Not a chance in the world that we would let him leave for as little as 30m. Zero chance.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

There's zero chance he is leaving for anything. We need the players (injury crises), we need players who are used to the club, he is actually quite good despite his (and everyone else's ) current poor form.

Wouldn’t surprise me, pair of clowns, and would explain Kev keeping the armband the other day.
