JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 As it's boring: “Manchester City winger Jack Grealish has told those close to him that he does not expect to remain at the club beyond next summer and has already asked his agent to search for potential suitors” https://www.90min.com/posts/transfer-rumours-grealish-man-city-exit-psg-contact-kante-20-9-2022/partners/41099 Pochettino to " bring him home " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that he ends up back here in a year or two tbh.

Only way I can see him returning is in an Ashley Young type scenario when he's in his 30s, by which point his shins will probably have exploded.

I agree that we wouldn't match his wages now, but could see a scenario where some trickery goes on with part of the transfer fee going to him, and us paying him ~200k p/w Certainly think we'd be in the conversation if he does leave City sooner rather than later. Have a feeling (based on nothing but a hunch) that he may have struggled being away from Birmingham. Newcastle definitely the more likely destination though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 He’s never coming back - too many bridges burnt. Do we really want the circus of will Jack leave in the summer? Let’s be realistic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
