Rather offload Grealish for a Kvaratsheila bid if we're switching up wingers.
Or Antonio Nusa. Such an incredible wingerRather offload Grealish for a Kvaratsheila bid if we're switching up wingers.
Not saying he would be the a messiah????Everything you've stated above is history.
Is he better than what we have - possibly, but watching him recently he's not the messiah some would have it.
Still doesn't work hard enough for the team to get in a Pep side.
Bit of a stretch to suggest the returning gundogan at 34 will be precedent for any player returning, let alone a 28 year old one.
Sane is better than any winger we have and will buy us 3 years whilst they develop. I’d be ok with him returning but I don’t think it will ever happen. I just dont think we’d be interested
Why bring grealish into it ? Sane was an exciting player who scored goals and him and raz was a thing of beautiful and it was right he won young player of the year for the centurian season. If only grealish could do anything like that , at twenty nine he has lost his hunger and wont last here much longer and wont be talked about as a hero for the whole three months he was any good . At least sane contributed in a positive wayPeople won't like to hear this but Grealish has been more important to a more successful City team than Leroy was, and Grealish was in good form for longer than Leroy ever was.
I loved Leroy at his best, but it was obvious in the weeks after he scored that goal against Liverpool that he didn't have it. After that big goal he should have nailed down his place and gone on to be in the conversation for the Balon d'Or. Instead, his attitude went off a cliff and he fell out with Pep big time for some reason.
While he's had a good career in Germany that anyone should be proud of, he hasn't been anywhere near consistent or good enough to justify taking a place in any potential rebuild. He clearly regrets leaving us but there's a reason nobody's really been interested in luring him from Bayern and those reasons would rear their heads were he to rejoin in the summer.
I feel like people have forgotten just how frustrating he could be when he wasn't playing well - it was very much all or nothing with him and the nothing games were terrible. I'll never forget Burnley away when he finally got a start after weeks of Sterling and Mahrez being picked ahead of him, and he proceeded to sulk and stink the place out before Pep hooked him on the hour.
Sadly for Leroy, Pep won't have forgotten that. I wouldn't be opposed to him coming back - even in Grealish's place, to be honest - but he'll need to be a completely different man to the boy who left. If he can assure Pep of that, why not? But he's shown nothing at Bayern to indicate that he'd be anything more than a squad player here. Incredible at his best but his best wasn't seen frequently enough.
