Lord Willard Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Be interesting to see how many minutes he gets next season with Haaland. I would say he made a mistake but I don't think he cares too much collecting £350k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 A sub again yesterday. He might win a trophy but he contributed virtually nothing to it. His career has gone completely backwards since he left us. Hasnt progressed in any capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played vs Real Madrid in a champions league semi final last week Not sure why people think him coming on as a sub is a case of "only" coming on as a sub 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 He hasn't played as much as I thought, of their main players only Jesus and Mahrez have played less than him, then when you look at their whole squad there's only a few more that have played less than him, I think Walker, Ake, Stones, and Zinchenko. But he's still had a decent amount of game time, hardly the bit part player that some make out, he's actually had more mins for them in the Premier League than any of his so called replacements Ings, Buendia, and Bailey have played avec nous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 He's at a better company with better pay better colleagues and achieving better results whilst getting a better cv with better opportunities better experiences and a higher profile in the very profession he wants to progress in. Careers gone backwards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careers gone backwards And during all that, he contributed so little, and what he has contributed has seemed out of place, that he seems like a ‘worse player’. So I think it would be fair to say that although his career has progressed, he as a player has arguably become worse/less effective and his stock has dramatically dropped since the moment he joined City. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 been better recently for them but he really needs to up the goals and goal contributions. He should look to emulate De Bruyne as much as possible when it comes to positioning and being able to put the ball in the net. Still got a long way to go to be able to match Sterling, Mahrez, Foden, De Bruyne numbers wise. Think he will have a better season next year but still can't see him getting better numbers than any of the aforementioned players personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its remotely true in so many ways because he is playing in better team and heres the facts His goals are less than last year, His assists are down from last year His starts are down from last year His form has been very poor As i said he might win a trophy but as a player and his own progression and development he as gone backwards. Anyone who saying he is a better footballer than last year is lying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say he made a mistake but I don't think he cares too much collecting £350k a week Haaland is going to adore playing with Jack. I think that signing makes Jacks spell there make sense. Haaland will be a figure head of an attack that hasn't had one since Aguero of 2 seasons ago at least. There will be more Pep ball but there will also be a genuine striker making the runs for Jack to find, or opening up more space for him to run at. I think we'll see a bit of a hybrid between 2020/21 Villa Jack and the new Pep-ified Jack. Think it'll work well for him. Sterling has one year left on his contract. Bernardo wanted out to go closer to home last year. Foden will continue taking minutes from Jack but if they lose one or both of Sterling & Bernardo. He'll have a much bigger part to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I'm expecting Grealish to flourish next season. Think he'll get more game time and will relish playing with a proper striker. Edited May 12, 2022 by roonst83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have a much bigger part to play Apart from KDB, Bernardo has been their player of the season. I'd be offering him a new contract if I was City. Haaland will need to adapt his game playing for City. Until now he's played in a counter attacking teams where he has space to run in behind, he won't have that kind of space with City as most teams sit deep against them. Only time will tell, but along with his injury issues, there is every chance Haaland could flop at City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Grealish won’t be getting as much game time still - he’s going to be behind both Alvarez and Foden on the left. Mahrez had an amazing season. Haaland, like Grealish last year, is signed because they can. Jack will still be dropping deep to allow the full back to overlap. The signing doesn’t elevate his game. It will be a fascinating pairing either way. But Haaland will have to massively adapt first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
