He’s our best player, a generational talent, but let’s not pretend that we’re nothing without him. Last season we showed on far too many occasions than I'd care to remember that we are pretty useless without him. With him, we beat the champions Liverpool, the European Champions Chelsea, Spurs for the first time in what felt like forever, and did the double over Arsenal for the first time in nearly 30 years. The club is bigger than Jack Grealish, yes; but this team absolutely isn't. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking we'll bounce back quickly from this, because I'm afraid we just won't. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of pressure on Purslow, Lange & Smith now. He’s still a Villa player as it stands! Reserve comments like this if he signs for City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, it might actually work. We’ve still got some class players, and even though losing Jack will weaken us massively, we’ll rebuild and improve. It might just take longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) What are the chances that Jack ‘does a Benteke’ mark 2? Driven by the big lights of Manc, his lifestyle gets the better of him, and his shins continue to play up. He wins some medals but lives in the shadow of Foden’s containing rise. Pep leaves Citeh for another ‘sabbatical’ in New York, gets replaced by Zinedine Zidane, who hates Jack’s lack of professionalism (talks to Garde). Jack ends up at Everton or Palace. Fans on VT debate if he should come back here and what the reception would be. Edited July 30, 2021 by KevinRichardsonsMoustache 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dawson at ESPN who, a month ago, said they were close to reaching an agreement even though no formal discussions had taken place between the two teams and nothing came of it. Also just saw this posted after the Percy story update. Maybe a glimmer of hope.

Losing him now affects our ability to recruit quality players and it affects our ability to win and work our way into the European places. This is absolutely a short to medium term blow to our ambitions and could potentially derail them entirely long term. That combined with the fact that he'll be a direct competitor to us... I just don't see how anyone can wish him well if he goes. This is awful for our football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I wouldn’t wish Jack’s shins to play up on him but I do like the idea of Manchester City completist wasting £100m+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if NSWE had no control at all, which doesn’t make sense. It makes no sense. Why would you report he'll be having a medical but not that an agreement (of sorts at least) has been reached?

Look at late Robben at Bayern as a good example If City are willing to pay £100,000,000 million for him then his injury record is irrelevant. My own point is mooted!

Last year: With Grealish we were 13-3-9 Without Grealish we were 3-4-6 Those records don't really give off a positive vibe of us without Grealish. But I agree the club aren't nothing without him. However we would've been relegated last year without him. So he does play a pretty major role in who we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
