It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

then stop playing him on the wing right now, i thought the entire point of his first season was to familiarize him with his position, formation and role in the team, why play him in a position he's not gonna play in?

also, he's 26.5! when we bought david he was 23. how many seasons is he gonna play on the wing until he's ready to play centrally? when he's 30?


well first of all he absolutely doesn't run "non stop" in fact i am pretty sure he runs less than most other players in the team. second of all he's literally the opposite of "quick witted" he's insanely slow thinking with his play and takes an extremely long time to make a decision, that's one of his main drawbacks, so i reject that. furthermore I give a hoot what he costs, again, because every pound spent on him is a pound less spent on other purchases. the team's budget is not endless. therefore it's extremely important from future transfers' perspective how much a player costs.

there is no one on this forum that loves it more when jack plays well and that praises him when he genuinely deserves it, but i am not gonna sit here and lie to myself that he has been good. i would love for him to become good. when he becomes good we'll know. but it's not the case currently, sorry mate

Well david and Bernardo Silvas are two players that started on the wing. When they were ready they were moved central. Neither were trusted in midfield initially. I suspect the same applies to Grealish. Personally I trust Pep to know what he wants from Grealish and how to get it, I’ve learnt he usually does.

I just think he's deferring to his teammates way too much...maybe he's worried about fitting in, not rocking the boat...at the same time pressing a bit, trying not to screw up...those of you on here saying the guy can't play gain very little credibility...let's see how he does as he climbs up the squad's pecking order...if the team were struggling and relying heavily on him I could understand some of the frustration...but we're a game from going back to the CL final and still the frontrunners in the league...people killing the guy non-stop...let the Reds' supporters knock our guys...who cares if your wife or girl wants to bang him...not like its really going happen...

We are destroying the likes of Sancho, so it works both ways.

He is a player who has played in the Premier so there should be no time to settle in this league and he looked decent in the early part of the season, he simply has not pushed on.

He has got huge personality, he showed that at Villa, but he looks lost here, a huge disappointment at this time and he needs to step up big time.

Can't believe this is being done again. The amount of players we have signed (even before Pep) that haven't 'hit the ground running' but have gone on to be stars of the team and fans can't show patience.
This time next season, he will be playing centrally, after learning our style out on the wing. Pep obviously didn't even think it was a gamble - happy to go with him on this one.

The accent though.....
