Yeah but then Southampton, Norwich and Leverkusen may in turn have robbed us of that money.

will87 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 There's just no composure in front of goal, never has been. It's a pretty serious flaw in a side that has no recognised striker and relies on all the attacking players chipping in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I know I’ve drawn comparisons to Benteke previously but from the same context it makes me feel sad. I remember watching CB at Liverpool and thinking damn, this isn’t our Benteke, I’d even be offended when seeing him slated because WE knew what he was capable of. When he’d be called nothing but a header merchant, full well knowing how good I’ve seen him play on the deck. Same goes for this guy. He isn’t a dive merchant, he isn’t a player without end product, he’s the best player I ever saw in our colours and yet we’re here again after yet another poor performance. But I don’t think it’s completely on him, I feel that City have simply bought a player that they didn’t need. A player that doesn’t fit. Hope he gets it together because I don’t want to see him at Crystal Palace on loan in 2 years time, he deserves to shine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of sad to see him playing like he is really. Just like Benteke, who was my favourite Villa striker. He could do almost anything. Then they tried to turn him into Kenwyne Jones at Liverpool and Palace and it was sad to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 At least grealish fits how man City play, he's capable of doing this pass and move quick stuff even if it's depressing that they don't use him to do more, he will get better and his face does fit Benteke on the other hand in no way shape or form fit with Liverpools style of play, he was an awful buy for them that made no sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Not sure why City fans are expecting him to be a goal machine. Never been one. That isn't his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from my Villa feelings on him leaving I always thought this was a poor move for him. This is like when Benteke went to Liverpool or Torres went from Liverpool to Chelsea, you can see beforehand it’s not the right fit and many said it beforehand. Jack likes to run with the ball and slip past them or draw them in before passing…that’s his world class skill. The one-two triangle passing zones, quick stuff he can do but not at Man City level and it never looked like his strength or could be his strength. That seems to be showing now, he’s not able to show why he’s worth 100m. Buying a player and then trying to fundamentally change how they play is a massive risk…not utilising his best skill seems a waste. I don’t think he’ll ever be the quick one-two like Silva or Foden level, I don’t think that’s in his locker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just me but I’m not convinced those three came in via Grealish money. I think that £100m is still there (or will be via installments). Maybe Ings you can probably argue did as I think he came in after he left.. but I’d say he has done more in a Villa shirt then Grealish has in a City shirt so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
