Lord Willard Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The most sold name for England's euro 2020 campaign. People that don't even support Villa getting his name printed on the back. Every woman wants to date him, everyone knows his name. He is becoming the next Beckham. A national treasure. Kids will ask who does Grealish play for? We simply can't roll over and let City have him for 100m . I'm shocked we haven't done what Saints did to us, what Spurs did to City and INSTANTLY reject. He is worth so much more than 100m. Principle, marketing, the project. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The reality is, Buendia isn’t signed if Grealish is to be sold, it just wouldn’t happen, as with links and bids to Bailey and ESR and JWP. The club simply doesn’t sell up 2 weeks before the season starts otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing whatsoever about a release clause being activated. They’re saying it’s Jack’s decision whether to move to the Etihad or sign an improved deal.

I'm now even starting to believe the people who claim that he indeed DID want to go to Tottenham, Man U, and now the obvious. Tottenham move was ultimately blocked, and they offered Peanuts. Man U didn't want to pay the money. Man City are now serious and a different level of attraction. I genuinely think his " Love " and " Loyalty " is overrated. If we offered him 500 k per week he might suddenly feel alot more loyal though, and we could roll out the 6 year old diving in the bushes like the Holte End story again. lol As I've said, I won't be abusing him, but i've felt he is more interested in shiny lights and celebrity status than loyalty " to us for quite a while. The incessant blowing smoke up his arse and " can do no wrong " attitude from a section of our fans towards him, will have aided in the ego and billy big bollox notion of him being bigger than the club as well. I would love to have this rammed down my throat and look an absolute tool. As others have said, all this “my club, my city” is marketing fluff. I don’t believe anything that comes out of footballers mouths. The majority are in it for themselves. Also what’s with all these #red devils and United tweets we have seen surface. Secret United fan?

PussEKatt Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If you look outside the box you will se that. If Jack stays we get to keep a great player If Jack goes we get 100m Apart from all this.I cant blame Jack if he goes,he has waited long enough to play european football and he is not getting younger every day,so I wouldent begrudge him european football.On the other side of the coin,last season when Jack was out if DS had of played for a draw maybe we would have got enough points to be playing Europer lge football this season.Then Jack would have definately stayed IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardiola will have spent £918m on transfers since he joined Man City in 2016 one of the great budget managers of our time, playing Football Manager on cheat mode and he still hasnt won the Champions League. I would expect Big Sam to win a few league titles with that budget 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 City will win trophies with or without Jack. It's not like he's going to be the reason that they win the PL or CL or whatever. You're joining an outrageously expensive team pre-assembled to win. None of that is going to mean as much as winning a trophy with your boyhood club as captain and fan favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players do still "fail" them if their fitness isn't what the buying club expected they were buying, though. I remember Falcoa's move falling through a few years ago because of his medical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
