I’ve heard a lot of stuff since he left which has just completely soured the way I look at him, I never want him back at our club in any capacity. Ever. What sort of stuff? Pray tell.

The_Steve Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I prefer the lockdown breaking, drunk drinking version of Jack. True character. Now he’s just a robot for sportswashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I’m a massive grealish fan but last night is why they should have bought Kane in the summer rather than him. They lack leaders and players who can produce goals out of nothing when the going is tough (same problem as CL final last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Presumably if they go in for Haaland his chances of games will reduce again? He seemed to play left wing against Real but I've seen him play as the false nine, striker and right-side. Guardiola seems to prefer Silva, Gündoğan, Sterling and Foden before even thinking of playing him. It's criminal really, he was taught from a very young age to be a cavalier, they are just stifling him and it will be to his detriment as he isn't playing regularly.

He knew that when he went there, he must have known his game had to change in such a organised, efficient, robotic team. He knew unless he was brilliant all the time he wouldn’t play the majority of games and definitely not utilising his style of football. Easy big money and trophies whether earnt or not. That was his choice. He chose this over his talent. Man City was the wrong club for him to use his talent because of the way they play but the benefit is big wages and trophies during his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. English teams are rivals. I wish them no success at all. It’s even worse here in Norway. It’s almost universially accepted outside hardcore fanbases that everyone should support whatever team is representing us in Europe. Why the f*** should I support clubs I can’t f***ing stand, and their success only makes them richer and harder for my club to surpass? 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It's why he would have been better suited to play for Real Madrid, Barcelona etc. More time on the ball and those teams would have incorporated his talents not stifled them; wasn't there a last-minute phone call to Real from Purslow trying to get him there as we REALLY didn't want to sell him to another English team. Opinions are strong on this and we all have them. Because he f***** off to a rival English team it makes it worse for me, I nearly puked when I heard the City fans singing "Super Jacky Grealish" the other night...he is one of them now. I'm glad Real won! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I don't think it's fair to belittle fans wishing Jack ill-fate as 'lovesick' or 'acting like a teenager texting an ex' or anything like that. I go 99.8% of my life not even thinking about the guy and the other 0.2% is whenever Citeh are playing. I do believe the slander is warranted though, for three reasons: 1: It would be nice to see him finally feel/show some disappointment for leaving his boyhood club (and the club he 'supports'). We didn't even really get a goodbye or a thank you from him, which is strange considering his connection to the club. Even players with no personal connection put something out. He was far too happy (and dismissive of us) when it happened and I think this rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way. 2: I think we want him to be proven wrong about leaving to win trophies. It sets a precedent for other players who just want to up-and-leave when they start to feel impatient. 3: As fans, a lot of us couldn't even contemplate playing for another English club. I certainly couldn't. Can any of you honestly say, irrespective of wage, your heart would truly be in it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
