That's a problem that they're never going to have Grealish: 100million made sense. Most marketable British player over Euros and a fine player. Man City are sports washing, no coincidence they went for the most popular English player + the squeaky clean married, model professional England captain. The image is more important than the money (which is limitless) Declan Rice: Need to factor in age / amortisation. Man City will get 5 years of Grealish at his level for their 100million at 20million a season. Whoever buys Rice for 100million will get 10 years at 10million a season (plus he's likely to get better), Or they could get 4/5 years out of him and recoup the investment.

Don't think that means he's dropped down the pecking order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Didn’t look particularly electric for England. Kinda like he has been castrated. I’m never really going to get over him not being our player . He does genuinely look worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Actually still dislike this word removed, I thought it would subside over time but no... Saw a little on Sky News about tomorrow's front pages of the newspapers and he's on one of them, cheating on his girlfriend perhaps? I'm not surprised (if true).

Xela Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Wasn't he reported as being ill in the last few days, hence why not starting for England. He's on the front page of the Sun this morning - knocking off an actress behind his girlfriends back. I hope he doesn't ruin his career with his relentless pursuit of women.

Yeah I read this, with Emily Atack. Pep won't put up with these stories in the tabloids, the more it happens, the less he will play. Certainly took his eye off the ball, an we all know you have to be 110% focused with Pep. He was getting away with murder at our club to be honest, now he's seeing what it's really like, having to perform like a £100 million footballer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure is really on for him. Only a matter of time until more scandals keep popping up. He won’t have Villa bending over backwards to appease and protect him like before either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 What a hilarious article - the City media are rattled too. Opposition fans have long booed Jack, people just hate your sportswashing empire even more for dropping £100m they absolutely didn’t need because they could. I could go on but I have no interest in debunking this PR more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
