Jack Grealish

[Gingers Dad]

Yes we’ve tended to be very private about signings in the past. Players like Jorginho, Sanchez etc had a lot of noise about them until they signed for someone else. I read a book called Peps City recently and I only found out we’d agreed terms with Ter Stagen before we signed Bravo but it depended on Ter Stagens girlfriend getting a place at Manchester Uni, at the time there wasn’t much media fanfare. I can see us going for two different players. Isak and Auoar or players like that.

So we got Bravo because Ter Stagen's girlfriend is a bit thick. Funny how the world works?

Back in the day Utd struggled to attract real top class foreign players the EPL wasn't as strong compared to the continental leagues.
Also, wages could be matched by a lot of the continental sides. So, the big decision came down to environment. With northern rainy Manchester losing out a lot of the time.
Things are now different. The financial power of the EPL is drawing many top players that would otherwise prefer sunshine.
Many players now see the EPL as a money tree, and a few years in the boggy North will be just swell, thanks to a double your money pay deal on offer.

Just been to the playground with the kids and it was spitting - no wonder Bernardo wants out!

Aye, so basically if Ter Stagen’s girlfriend’s A Level results of equivalent had actually been decent we might have won a trophy in Pep’s first year.

Don't think we're pushing bernardo out the rumours are he wants to leave, If anything it appears we were willing to push sterling out to secure kane, again though all based on rumours of which could all be bullshit. I don't think there's any doubt we'll need to bring a striker in and am sure we will as well as Grealish it's not a one or the other situation. We can recoup money on outgoing transfers to spend big this summer and I'm sure we will after hearing what Khaldoon has said in his end of season interviews, I'm not worried in the slightest about who goes and then comes in because we're in good hands with a lot of people in charge who know what they're doing. Would be sad to see bernardo leave though as I think he's ace and it would be difficult replacing his work rate but if the lad isn't happy and wants to leave then we're not the type of club to stand in his way.

your spot on matey and i do get over excited with the media. i should know better that nothing is set in stone
i just feel sad that bernardo is not happy and wants out if stories are true

Me too one of my favourite players be sad to see him go.

But then we may never have gone for Ederson?

Grealish in and Bernardo out does not strengthen us.
Moving Sterling or Foden from the left to fill Silva's role weakens their play.
Foden and Grealish interchanging on the left would work but that shifts Sterling.
Would love to keep Bernardo instead.
I suspect Foden will move to a floating right sided player to cover Silva's gap. He used to play there but I liked him on the left.

Bernardos attacking output is by far the worst of any of our forwards/wingers/attacking mids. Grealish is the second most creative player in the league after Kev.
Sterling has spent so much time on the left mainly due to being our only winger that's any good there(until Phil this season). He is a very good right winger when someone can create from the other side(Sane).

I think if anyone takes 10, should be Foden. Just my preference

Doesn't Foden wear 47 as a tribute to his grandfather?

I know the Stats favour Grealish by some distance and that is fair comment. But he is a left centre mid. Bernardo brings energy and makes space for others. Stats don't do him justice. I just don't see how shifting Phil or Raz to make space strengthens the team or them as players.
At this point would prefer to see Sterling make way. But as Bernardo seems to want to leave I suspect Phil will move to the right more.

Would also wear 10 also as a tribute to his grandad

The date he passed away

Think Grealish will really shine. Much different than what we have currently and he resembles a prime Hazard. People are really underestimating him on here, he’s gonna be a top top player on this team.
