Sometimes, I feel like the noise around Grealish stems from the lack of ‘technical’ players in top flight English football. I’m not saying he isn’t talented but that noise is a tad much. It’s just a testament to the lack of options or the lack of cultivating technically gifted players if I can use that term.
I know Merlin is on another level but when he played he could draw a player to himself and also leave them behind. Playing a pass before he got tackled or not even letting them get close. I’d prefer Grealish to be smarter with his plays. Rather than wait to be fouled and stop a good move, he should draw the players and pass it. He goes down too easily. Known for diving a lot in the past. Not a fan of it but that’s just my personal opinion.
If people want him in the team as a central midfielder, he may not win all those calls if he ever dons the sky blue of City. However, I don’t begrudge anyone getting excited over him. Whichever player comes or leaves, I’ll still support City. The club, more so than not, have gotten it right with personnel. Now it’s just a waiting game to see what they come up with.
