Rightdm00 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Doku plays on the left and already has more minutes and starts than Grealish. City have found their left wing starter and Jack will be getting garbage time minutes by the end of the season. I'm only saying this because I can see the Jack back to Villa campaign getting stirred up as soon as Doku cements his place as first choice. I just want to say absolutely not. His wages are to high for any kind of loan and especially don't want to pay whatever fee City would ask for. It was nice the first time around but sometimes you have to, Just Say No!

ThunderPower_14 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I think it's strange to specifically not want Grealish back. If he wanted to come back he'd immediately be our best player but he'd have a much, much stronger squad around him than when he left, and he'd shine. As much as him leaving was just part of the business, it's also part of the business to leverage familiarity to sign players where we can, not unlike our signing of Ashley Young a couple of seasons ago. Jack is a brilliant footballer who would improve us. If he's squeezed out at City and his love for the club makes him choose us over say, Newcastle, Tottenham, Man U etc, that's brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Wouldn't be able to afford his wages regardless. I agree that he's on the out with City. Pep was trying to console him after the Leipzig game when Doku got an assist and goal in his place. Think Pep will try to manage his ego into being a rotation player. But I doubt Jack cares all that much. A few titles, brand deals, live the high life afterwards. Edited October 6, 2023 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grealish that left here is not the same Grealish today. We dont need a player on the wing holding possession to pass back 7 yards. His attacking intention has been knocked out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attacking intention has been knocked out of him I completely disagree that he's forgotten how to play attacking football. He's playing in Guardiola's system there and he'd adapt to Emery's system here. In fact I'd argue that he's just about a perfect player for how Emery likes to create chances. He's surprisingly quick with the ball, has excellent vision, places and weights passes beautifully and likes to use movement to create space.

Wainy316 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Yeah who are people trying to kid? He'd be **** ace in Emery's team. It'd be a non starter anyway due to wages though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A healthy Ramsey would have that player firmly on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey is better than him in the same position for what we want to achieve Doku is playing the same position and not terrified to take people on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I seriously never, ever want him back. If he ends up back here it would add insult to injury foe the way he behaved previously and would indicate something has gone badly here. He should go to his real boyhood club Man Utd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
