Demitri_C Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Old jack in zaniolos place and i think we would be a superb team Gotta remember he was loved here. At citys its not the same kind of love and affiliation he had with us. At citeh he just another player. Here is was one of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post duke313 Posted October 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2023 It’s worked out for the best him leaving. If he had stayed, Smith probably wouldn’t have been sacked when he was, we wouldn’t have hired Gerrard when we did and we wouldn’t have hired Emery. I’ll take Emery over Jack any day. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 People are kidding himself if they think he won't get into our team. Even in his current form he's still way better than Bailey, Zaniolo and Traore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always a few exceptions, Sid Cowans was another Although all three of those players, in my opinion, didn’t achieve the heights they reached before they left.

When we tried playing him as a attacker like the old days it didnt work. But he definitely was a success for me I think with grealish it would be different. People would expect a lot from him straight away We have moved on so has he worked out better for us. I think with grealish here we would have no emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Let’s be honest. If he did come back he’d see himself as the big fish and expect to play every game, but you just know at some point he’d get injured and be out for weeks, if not months. As some others have said, he’ll probably be washed up by his early 30s. Steer clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its horrible seeing him play now, hes a consistent footballer now not a consistent match winner or consistent moments of magic which is sad to see. Strange to see players like Doku being lauded over him as he takes on a man, that was what he was great at. Id welcome him back with open arms on a free, I assume he signed a 5 year deal so that would make him 31. Unfortunately I agree with your points, hell be playing in Miami by then.

Oaks Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think the Grealish drop off is going to be quite quick. One of the reasons why I don’t want to buy him back in his 30s. He will end up in Saudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time and a place for him being a big fish but we have now moved on, he won’t be the type of player we will want to sign. I agree with you that by the time he’s in his early 30s he will be in one of those money bag mercenary leagues.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
