At least Bale had shown up in games and scored some brilliant and crucial goals but yes, a club hamstrung by their own generosity in awarding a ridiculous contract!

That they could throw £100 mill at JG and probably also Kane if they had their way just shows how powerful they are. They will win the league again because they have a better squad than anyone else and the best manager. JG went there for all these reasons, he wanted to be a part of what he perceives as the 'best' - so it's absolutely hilarious his performance levels are now that of a robot - he literally sold his soul. Debatable. The media keep telling us he is, yet despite all the money spent he’s yet to win the Champions League at Ci£ey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a party boy taking his eye off the ball and failing to make the grade at his new club. It's an irrelevance, comparing apples with pears. Yes but Grealish always gave his all on the pitch for us. Off the field different character but on the field not that different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t run with the ball, he doesn’t take people on that much, he barely does anything except receive it on the edge of the box and pass it back to the fullback. Terrible move for him so far, but at least he’ll get a PL winners medal. A 100 million Ashley Westwood 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep has shown (post Barcelona) in the champions league that many of those seemingly crazy decisions simply do not work, they are just crazy.

Tommo_b Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It’s a real eye opener reading tweets about Grealish, even the Man City fans are saying he has been crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However on Twitter a few are saying, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo all took one season to settle in; the difference is one could argue Greal-hiss knows the PL well. Like others have said he's another cog in their wheel and he's struggling because he doesn’t look better than the rest like he did at Villa.

I think it’s worse than that, he doesn’t look involved. Even the BBC player ratings had him last for them. If he hadn’t been on the field it wouldn’t have made a difference. The concerning part is he looks a shell of a footballer, not even struggling but worse. He’d get the ball and then pass back to Ake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2021 15 hours ago, Davkaus said: Fan stats on BBC have Grealish as the worst player on the pitch, with 4.8/10 - the next lowest Man City player is Jesus on 5.98. Whoscored have him at 6.8/10 as the third worst City player, and Sofascore have him at 6.7/10 and the worst city player (and only 4 worse Brentford players). It was a very poor game from him, but I think the fan ratings probably tell a story of the expecations of a £100m player. He doesn't look worth half that in a City shirt. If Pep sells Sterling and Grealish is the replacement he wants his head looking at, and I'm no fan of Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how true that is, but it would be very interesting if Grealish wanted to leave at the end of the season. I don’t know Jack and if it’s purely money that floats his boat then he’ll stay, but I could potentially see part of him wanting to come back and play for Villa sooner rather than later. If there is a deal to be done, I wonder if we’d be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it will be the end of this season, but I don’t think the idea that he’ll return to Villa in the next 2-3 seasons if things stay the way they are is too outlandish, I couldn’t see any other CL clubs taking him. Zaha is the one that sticks out who did something similar. Would you take him/how much would you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our board dont like how he went to City and our manager wont accept a player like Grealish So its probably a big NO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 We'd all take him (some will say never again, then change their minds). He won't come until he's pushing 30 and has some trophies in his cabinet - and that's assuming he's deemed a failure in 3 years time. If it works out for him as he hopes he'll try and come back when he's 33-35. If he gets bombed out at City due to antics , Purslow and Gerrard won't take him back. He'll end up at Newcastle.
