DCJonah Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I get why people wish him well and why people will choose to boo. You can appreciate why he's moved and still be pissed off for him throwing a way the very privileged and unique situation he found himself in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He looked miserable on the bench at the Euro's, but he'll have to get used to it now. I do think this will be better for the team overall. Seemed the play was 'get it to Grealish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were onto a proper romantic football story, with the local boy, coming back from adversity and captaining his club to the promised land. All the ingredients were there. It's kind of like a kid finding out Santa isn't real. There are no romantic football stories. Footballers are all the same, no matter where they come from and their backstory. I've lost so much love for the game recently, particularly with the implementation of VAR in the Premier League and the bias in its usage. This is another sizeable brick out of the wall for me just starting to feel a numbness to it all now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not mad at him for leaving Villa and moving on to bigger and better things. It's been the order of things for a while now. He's only the 4th player to join City from us in the last 12 years. It's very annoying that he spurned the opportunity to build something truly special here. He's actually quite lucky how it all fell into place for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Guessing the club will issue a 2 sentence paragraph about the transfer concluding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I understand the hate on here IMO Jack has been with us 20 years. That's a long time. I think we will challenge for Europe in another couple of years. He has the chance to play now, how good will he be in another couple of years and we get £100m Look how we have welcomed Ashley Young back was he hissed at when he left, Milner, Dion need I name more were they hissed at. Good luck Jack and thank you for the memories and the £100m How many of us would stay loyal to our jobs if we were offered more money, better benefits and for doing the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I really hope he regrets it, he could have been a legend with his home town club and he's thrown it away... Please move this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Wonder if the club will announce another signing as soon as Grealish is gone? I mean Ings came out of nowhere so you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
