Grealish has Newcastle written all over him
They are having a shit window and need a statement signing
We want livramento and they have champions league football

They have Gordon on the left which he isnt displacing and they've also just spent £55m on another winger in Elanga, Newcastle have no use for him, can't see them being remotely interested nor would grealish be interested in going there to be cover. He'll have to set his sights much lower than a Newcastle if he wants to play every week, Everton or west Ham seem like potential homes, whether they'd be interested is another thing, thats sadly his level.

He’s better than both of them two for a start, unless they seriously step up this season then they both need binning. Woeful numbers for a title challenging team
And I’m fully aware Jack’s numbers aren’t impressive either, but that comes from being asked to play effectively as a weird target man. Hold the ball up and win possession or fouls
Also remains madness that he he still never gets used centrally, despite showing his worth on limited opportunities

Savinho had 11 g+a contributions last season, it was the 4th best in the whole league from a new signing, I think he needs to be better but the lads 21 and had a more than respectable first season.

Pep has repeatedly said he gives wingers freedom to do what they want, doku said something similar fairly recently and there's quotes from both mahrez and Kingsley coman in the past week saying the same thing yet the narrative persists that Grealish is being instructed to be ultra cautious, dont take a man on, don't provide or score goals and instead just win freekicks that do nothing but break the flow of a game.

I wonder what people see when they watch Grealish and Doku.

Grealish hardly ever scores or assists, cant beat a defender to save his life and his contribution to the team seems to be a few backward or square passes and drawing a foul or two in a non- dangerous area.

Doku is raw but he is a game changer. He terrorises defenders with his pace and dribbling ability. He scores goals and provides assists (not enough admittedly).

There is no way Grealish starts ahead of Doku. I think Pep has made that clear.

Considering Pep's tactics since he became a manager is to shift around the opposition with the sole purpose of our wingers being 1v1 with their full back, I'm amazed Grealish lasted as long as he did. And I really like him as a player!

I think it's more a testament to Grealish and how much Pep loved/loves him that he let him get away with it for so long. His strengths aren't running at his full back, it's being clever with movement and passing. And it clicked for 1 season where we won a treble. But other than that, it's not worked.

Pep doesn't use jack as a traditional winger, he uses him as a wide midfield player

Yeah pep doesn’t use him like that. But the Monaco system is different - not only that. Did pep use him like that or was it more Grealish play style ?
Nonetheless fati and Grealish are two different type of players. One was even more a pure striker some years ago
 
In the “inside Pep” book which pep and the coaching staff had contributed to, they talk alot about the treble season and how Grealish helped the team massively control games expertly, something they had struggled with the previous seasons esp in europe. He was citys breathe and reset man which allowed the team to control games far better than they ever have done before. There is a bit more to it than i can recall but they put this down as a key contribution to the teams evolution that ultimately led to the treble.

Fascianting and highly recommend the book. Esp now its a couple of years old and some of the early stuff pep did is kinda forgotten.

I think we'd be mad to let Grealish go out on loan, Grealish is a fabulous player and has so much to offer, on his day he gets in this City starting 11 ahead of Doku and Savinho.

I'd love him to turn things around and start playing for us again.

I just think his hungers gone, he won the lot , some players can get up again to go again , but some are happy with what they’ve done.

I think we've seen this type of post a fair amount of the last year or so, Not having a dig in any way by saying that as part of me can somewhat agree, although the same sort of assessment needs to be said for alot of our other players going by last seasons performances.

Grealish wasn't the only one, Numerous players last season let the standards drop which is also understandable after winning four in a row. Was it fatigue last season or what is some of them couldn't be arsed?

I think Grealish is an easy target for some fans and also the media, few other players could be called out also.

IF which is a big if, we get Grealish back to what he can produce then we've a seriously good player at City and personally an on song Grealish starts in this City side ahead of the wingers we currently have.

Agree, he would be ahead of any of them for me if on form. Pity he cant do 60mins at his peak and then we bring on doku for last 30 to terrorize the opposition. As a defender it would be so difficult to cope with the two.
 
I don't see him staying. There has to have been a serious bust up at some point. The way we have just banished him out of the squad feels like when Cancelo left.

He's costing us £20m a season, would be a complete unmitigated disaster if we end up loaning our record buy to reduce losses. In a market where youve got elanga going for £55m, madueke £52m, mbuemo for £71m ita unacceptable to not at the very least be able to write him off now.

If we loan him out, he's being loaned put until his contract expires. Play hardball, it's a permanent deal or he stays and we see what offers comes in January.

Completely agree with this. If we can't get him out of the door for a permanent transfer, then we keep him around the squad and use him when the first team players are injured.

If he wants to go to the WC he should stick to the Prem.

Everton and West Ham open to having him on loan depending on wages.

Something I’m sure people expected, a loan deal and pay some of the wages. It’s going to be hard to shift Jack that’s for sure.

Everton and West Ham are established teams but that’s some fall from grace.

Not really Gordon is better than him and their midfield 3 is set so he wouldn’t play there either.

Newcastle would not want to be lumbered with an ageing expensive player on huge wages not to mention his off the field activities. Wouldn’t make any sense for them

So they have Gordon so don’t need anyone else….
It’s a squad game.

If Newcastle are serious about kicking on then Grealish would be a very good signing for them
