Jack Grealish

[BillyShears]

Indeed. Ferna is the most obvious one but by all accounts (rightly so) will extend. Maybe an offer comes for one of tbe others, or maybe they look to leave. Who knows. As it stands, hard to see.


PS I'm glad you excluded Gabi from that.

Yes for the moment Grealish is an 8 or a winger. When Ferna was leaving it made sense in so far as you can push Gundo to 6 and play Jack in the 8. But if Ferna stays which he is doing, that’s too many players and more importantly that’s too many players who will want to play.

One thing I’ll say. Pep has talked a lot this season about unhappy players leaving. Let’s see post the CL final if someone actually gets an offer from somewhere and asks for a move. Because outside that I can’t see it. City tend not to force players out of the club.

Kdb is going nowhere. Ferna, if he extends, same. Torres and Foden no way would the club contemplate that.

Leaves chances of sterling, mahrez gundo, bernardo, if any were to leave. Possibly in that order.

Any other players leaving, like mendy carson etc, would free up a space, but also need replaced in that position taking the space back up. So it is likely it only happens if one of the above might leave.

Not for me, runs down blind alleys loses the ball and falls on his backside moaning to the referee way too often. I just cant see how he can improve our team.

Grealish replaces Torres.

Torres replaces Jesus

Jesus goes to spurs as a makeweight

Kane replaces Kun

Torres plays through the middle as rotation for Kane. Foden\Sterling\Mahrez\Grealish as the wingers.

That's how I see it.

Ball retention and being a direct threat is a vital attribute to have in this team - hence why Mahrez has stood out this season and Sterling has frustrated.

Grealish has both of those while also seemingly being desperate to join/prove himself and also grafting his bollocks off whenever he plays.

It is somewhat ironic, that if Foden handn't established himself as a capable regular in the side, there would be a little bit more sense to the need for Graelish. But therw would be a Lot more resistance to the idea of it.

As it is with Foden being a safe part of the team now, there is a lot more open mindedness to Jack joining. But far less need.

Logic in that.

Think it would be a mistake though. Rather have Gabi.

In addition to those, it's possible that Jesus might wish to leave. If somebody like Kane or Haaland was coming in, he may see his future elsewhere.

It may look like it would leave us short up top but Torres looks like he could play that role effectively, we have Delap coming through and also the false 9 formation, so I guess it is a possibility.

Yeah possibly, see my own opinion above though.

I hope not. Jesus is very good. Hope Sterling goes to make way instead.
