Im not going to jump on the bandwagon of he ain’t as good as people think he is because I’ve been saying it for years but would get attacked by our fans. He was ok . Looked comfortable on the ball and worked well in tight spaces with some nice passes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans would get angry when I used to say this. What’s the problem with that though? Being a star player in a lesser team then going to a world class team to be part of that team. I think too many are thinking he thinks he’s going there to be the main man , when that isn’t the case at all. They spent 100m on him because they can. It’s pennies for them. We were too reliant on him , but that won’t be the case at city and I can’t see that being a problem for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa94 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 i just think when pep coaches him to be like a man city player he wont be the £100 player we all know and man city could have bought another player to do what jack will do after being coached…………..real shame this but ……………his decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Rugeley Villa said: Does he think he’ll become a superstar ? From what I’ve seen and read he’s in awe. He seems grounded enough not to think he’s going to be the main man at city . The team is littered with main men. He’s not going there to bang in 20 goals a season . He’s going there to be part of a team that wins major honours regularly. Talisman is often directed at players who play for lesser teams which was the case when he was at villa . He’s playing with the big boys now. It’s simply an opinion I hold but he had outgrown Villa if you will. The adulation he was getting during the Euros, despite only playing a minor part, would have had a massive influence on him. As you say he’s playing with the big boys now, so can he deal with that. The soap opera continues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate and despise the system for allowing city to get away with it. Spot on, feeling the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Feels bad to say and I know it's very early days, but he'd have been a nailed on superstar if he went to United. Used to hate it when United fans were saying last year "he's a United player in a Villa shirt" and "Fergie would have moved heaven and earth to sign him" as I couldn't picture him outside Villa, but they were right. If he wanted to be the Brummie Becks, the red half of Manchester was the place to go. They don't need him though as they have Rashford and Bruno, and RW was a more pressing position.

And when KDB and Foden returns from injury I can't see him getting a game Nonsense they are not going to pay £100 million for a player and not pick him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if fans of the ‘smaller’ clubs are fed up of seeing players continually having their heads turned by stupid amounts of money?

I don’t care who you are. I agree . They have spent 100m on him to be starting more often than not, not to be an impact player by coming off the bench with 20 mins to go. Rotation is also important when you are going for the league title, champions league and then you have the domestic cups which will be just viewed as an added bonus should they win them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if the player meets your expectations. However transfers can flop. Which would be a real shame for man City, but our 100M will comfort us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is people think he is that player that makes the difference. With all City’s brilliance they still have reliance on KDB to make that difference. That is a one of the best players around, people think Jacks on his level, I don’t think he is and have never done so. I’ve said that many times but it was almost blasphemous to even suggest that. That’s my point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Question - has anyone ever won the domestic runners-up / losers treble of League Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield before they won their first major trophy? Keep writing your name in the record books Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is the latest in a long line of players who leave perfectly good clubs, on perfectly good money to chase the ‘dream’ of playing champions league football. We have done that to players though. Signed championship clubs top players to come and play in the premier league which is probably a dream come true for those players. We are just on the opposite end of the deal, which isn’t the first time. Once they started making the champions league 4 teams from England it started going downhill with players prioritising that over winning trophies and wanting to leave perfectly good clubs. You never had none of that when it was just champions entering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
