Jack Grealish

[himalayan_blues]

What are you basing your argument on?

Why would he not. Plus there were article claiming he will be open to returning here. And we are not negotiating with dortmund for him. It will be a surprise if we matched Uniteds offer as we have a first refusal.

Would really like this player, looked good last time Villa were in the Prem when he was just a youngster. Colin Bell he isn't, but with a bit of Peps spit and polish he would be an excellent player. He has got a good engine too.

Remember Patrick Roberts?

IMO last night showed we urgently need to get players with passion back in the DMF role in this team.

Ferny is past it, Gundo limited, Rodri no pace. Grealish would be ideal.

We have been bullied in midfield too many times this season and Pep hasn’t been able to come up with an answer. Need a rethink as without being able to compete for the Charity Shield or League Cup next season we won’t win any trophies and will regress further behind.

Can't argue with that.

Jack fucking Grealish do me a favour.

I agree we are really lacking players with passion in the midfield

I don’t think it’s passion it’s more lacking leadership. When the shit hits the fan we fold and that’s just not midfield it’s throughout the team.

Greasy jack is not the answer to any question that starts with "what we need at city is " or any variations on that theme

We have better players than Grealish in his position.....what we need is only 1 of the 3 you mentioned playing at a time.

We are lacking both.

 

[Zenmanc]

At least he has passion. Our team expects to win and we make careless mistakes and squander golden scoring chances. Leadership is also a joke on this team.

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'm now almost convinced this is happening. The links aren't going away. I think he'd be a good signing, hopefully we can negotiate the price down. Anything under 50 million and I think it's a great deal.

Great option for us in the 8 and on the left. Can score goals too.

 

[HaalandEffect]

Midfielder og winger?

 

[PJM1891]

I would still really like to see him here, seem to be in a minority though.

 

[bluesince76]

I wasn't a fan of him before we played them at home - I can't get past the sock thing and he just looks like a rag player.

However, I hadn't realised how quick he was. He terrorised our midfield and defence when he ran at them. Whether we need that when we've got Sterling, Torres and Foden is another matter, as it feels like playing them or Bernardo would provide a lot more pace and dynamism into our midfield/wide play compared to last season so if we buy Grealish and still play Gundogan and Rodri together and he replaces Foden etc, it would feel like a waste of a purchase.

 

[RayCTID]

Still a nope from me but nothing really surprises me with City if we did. Pep was at Barcelona when they did sign the likes of Hleb and Affelay (although they were cheaper signings) so again anything is possible.

 

[Asa's left peg]

I still think, playing in a team like City, where the oposition have more than Jack Grealish to worry about would give him more freedom and less attention and we would see how good he is. Whether that standard would be high enough to displace Phil or Bernie is debatable and at the potential cost probably not worth the gamble.

 

[Ban-jani]

Big fat no from me.

Foden is better.
