Vaguely remember seeing video of him being all over the moon at being given the 9 shirt… Haaland has 9 this season, wonder what jacks number will be, 99? He was 10 Jesus was 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I don’t think I’ve posted in here since he left, but after just driving past a bloke in a Man City shirt with Grealish 10 on the back, I felt compelled to say how wrong it looks, even now one year on. I also felt compelled to wind the window down and shout ‘dick head’, but decided not to in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's my general reaction to any grown man wearing a football shirt whilst not playing football tbf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I dunno, maybe cos it now feels like a set up that man City have paid for, maybe its just him but I don't find it funny The spoons video was great, could be the joke got very old very quick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was half the price then no but for that sort of money and the return he has been a unbelievable flop 1st season. Thats not to say he wont get bettee as we all know his quality It wasn’t just an on pitch signing though. Commercially they sold a lot of shirts and probably got a lot of new fans too. I expect him to be a lot better next season but he’ll never be that 100m amazing world beater playing for City because he never was that player!

The places themselves are "common". It's not funny at Man City because these players probably see greeters in every hotel/airport they've ever been to. Good on the guy for taking the cash though and getting more exposure, this will get him more traction than the spoons videos because of the numbers watching it. It just doesn't work as well from a comedic point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I found the way he confused Grealish by using the word symmetrical quite amusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Ake genuinely seems inspired by his "pep talk." Guy will probably sell a few more tickets for his Edinburgh fringe show from publicity of this so all is good. He's not actually a football fan at all so no idea who fed him the Jan Molby line. Edited July 19, 2022 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
