Jack Grealish

Dress it up however you want but he's a cheat. Might not be theatrical but he hits the deck everytime he thinks he'll get a foul. If he was such a great talent he would stay on his feet.

Nailed it.

Hope we're working on our free kicks for when we get Grealish and Kane

Think of the mighty Wimbledon playing hoof ball.

Souness said something similar about him being the most fouled player but only because he must be holding on to the ball too long which is a great shout.

I watched him the other night against Austria and every single time he got the ball they fouled him
The defender didn’t worry about gaining an advantage by cheating did he??
So why should grealish not go down easy when he thinks he can gain an advantage for his team
I think in our team he would move the ball quicker and be less reliant on free kicks to move up the pitch but either way a foul is a foul

Funny that 'cos the ref didn't it that way.

He goes down because he gets the shit kicked out of him every match he plays. He’s hardly a Salah or Mane type diver.

It’s also got nothing to do with how talented he is. Some of the most talented players go down too. Doesn’t make them bad players

A foul on the English Language. Dove instead of dived. Pled instead of pleaded and broke instead of braked.
Why do people adopt the errors of the country that gave us Daft Donald Trump?

I think you find it’s Dove instead of Pigeon ;-)

I think he is a diver, a cheat and not as good as he is touted. Others seem to think he is a genius and will help our team if he signed.
At the end of the day you know that if he came to city he would be regarded by everyone in the media, and from other clubs fans, as a mediocre player who cheats, dives and shouldn`t be anywhere near the England set up!
I personally think there is a halfway view that he isn`t all he is made out to be. When he runs at players and passes defenders before slotting in a nice pass to a striker he is fine. The problem is he doesn`t do it enough!
Yes, sometimes he is fouled but other times he just seems to lose sight of the goal and falls over or tries to gain a free kick.
Totally different player but I reckon he is like Stirling... and Marmite. Both are a matter of taste. I said it before and I`ll say it again... not for me thanks.

Some weeks back, Grealish's people let it be known that they thought he would be joining City; that is for sure. It doesn't mean he is going to join but it is not unreasonable to believe that they had some encouragement from the City end of things.

I still don't see who he would replace in the squad this summer as no one seems obviously set to leave. Sterling might if he doesn't agree a new contract. Mahrez has publicly confirmed that he wants to stay; no surprise there as he is all loved up with his Cheshire "Housewife".

Given Pep's love of a midfielder, maybe he won't replace Garcia and will simply change the balance of the squad or maybe Gabby will go and Delap / false 9 will be the back-up to whoever we sign as striker.

Thanks for the considered response. Do you have a link to the Grealish people bit?

I'll give you 2 out of 3, but he really is good.
