Jack Grealish

[supersonicblue]

But then we may never have gone for Ederson?

So of course we are entirely grateful to Manchester Uni, the masterminds behind the centurions squad

Err, have you not read the thread?
According to most posters he's the fucking messiah. Also nothing like Hazard.

Lol.

Most Bluemoon poster’s: I think Grealish could really do a job for us.

Other Bluemoon poster with a different opinion: He is not the Messiah.

Most Bluemoon poster‘s goes back to double check what they wrote.

This myth Manchester is a reason players don't come here or leave is as stupid as can be

How many top class players have played for us , the rags and the scousers? And where do most live during those years? Manchester /Leafy cheshire.

A few players every so often don't settle well, that's understandable, when I worked abroad every year we had maybe a dozen seasonal workers get homesick within week(s) and fuck off home.

Not everyone adapts to new places, no matter the place.

Also the it's cold and wet bollocks, it pisses down in france and Paris all the time so that don't seem to bother neymar and mbappe too much and Manchesters average rainfall is less than Barcelonas

Where do you get this from?

I had a quick look ie typing average rainfall in Barcelona/Manchester

Precipitation. Barcelona has on average only 55 precipitation days a year, therein average several rainy days per month (≥ 1 mm), ranging from 2 in July to 6 in October. The average annual precipitation is less than 640 mm (25 inches), ranging from 20 mm (0.79 inch) in July to 91 mm (3.58 inch) in October.


Manchester, England is doled out an average of 810 mm (31.9 in) of rainfall per year, or 67.5 mm (2.7 in) per month. The driest weather is in February when an average of 50 mm (2 in) of rainfall (precipitation) occurs. The data shows it rains at least a little bit on 151.7 days a year, on average.

The other thing I would add, we have all been to Spain on holiday and the skies have opened and flooded the streets, an hour later you wouldn't even know it had rained, over here it is wet all day long lol

Out of interest as anybody heard Grealish say he wants to leave Villa?

Rare that it is nowadays but he may well just be happy playing for the club he loves and supports, would you have left City for anybody in the same scenario?

I know I wouldn't have. (not that I was lucky enough to be given that choice lol)

Asking to leave costs a player big money in the loss of loyalty bonuses etc.

So no, you won't hear Grealish, Kane or co asking for a move.

Like last season the desperately unhappy Messi would not force the issue in leaving Barca because he would lose a bundle of cash.

A vast majority of footballers are greedy bastards at the end of the day, medals are wanted but cash is wanted even more , other than a select few.

Already said during recent interviews with England he’s ambitious wants to play UCL and win trophies. Not sure how that equates to staying at Villa.

But still a step short of him saying he wants to leave Villa though.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Are you bothered by Sterling moving from the left?

Mahrez is better.

 

[Keeper!]

Mahrez is better.

Mahrez, Bernardo , Foden and Sterling > Grealish

A fair point, I keep forgetting how greedy they are, ie Messi net worth around $600m I mean, you wouldn't want to lose out on another 5,10, 50m but actually get to do what you want (cough, as if he ever wanted to seriously come to City, using ****)

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Mahrez, Bernardo , Foden and Sterling > Grealish

Not really trying to compare Grealish. Just speculating how he impacts the balance in the side. He is not a direct replacement for Bernardo and puts a squeeze on Raz and Phil's position.

The rainfall claim was bollox but the continent does have colder winters at a comparable latitude.
France, Belgium, Germany and Holland, as examples, a effin freezing in winter.
