He could take a dump on the pitch and they'd select him, he plays for City after all. To be fair the is a few like that. Harry maguire hasn’t played in a month at Utd because the new boss has realised very quickly he is at best very average yet not getting a game for your club is less important than being at a big club in Southgate eyes. Just look at jack, Phillips, maguire and shaw all players that have hardly kicked a ball this season because managers don’t think they are good enough yet the England manager had more or less given them all a ticket to the most elite completion in the world.

Probably best for all concerned if he goes abroad where he will undoubtedly excel again. Coming back here because it didn't work at City? No thanks.

Pinebro Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 To be fair the stats doesn't lie. For a 100 M player with his current goal/assist ratio its just horrendous really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that will be happening, the love affair is over ! He was great for us but he fell in love with the limelight and wanted better things , fair enough …. my guess is Real Madrid ( his second favourite club ! After Citeh ) 2-3 years in La Liga , retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal / assist ratio was never waht made him a £100m player same as that tweet will get a laugh but 0 aerial duals won isn't a shocker either Did try to look earlier what his successful dribbles stats were like for city because that being 0 is the shocker, I'm sure in December for us he was 3rd in europe behind only messi and neymar for carries in to the opponents penalty area (or chances created in open play, one or the other) and saw that last season he was actually city's most successful dribbler, those are the 2 stats that are worth measuring and comparing because that's where he was so good for villa, I'm sure there was one graph that was for something like a ball carry that resulted in a positive forward pass or some such nonsense and he absolutely miles out on his own for it, head and shoulders above the rest of the league To the naked eye his taking players on looks nothing like what we saw at villa, I'd love to see that graph again with city's grealish on it, the drop off there will be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) He’s primarily trying to play thru-balls or having to play it sideways or backwards. He doesn’t get to take players on like he did for us because that is not how city play. Pass and move, pass and move. Simple, but they are bloody good at it. He never was a city player, they just wanted to flex at a time when Grealish’s stock was high. The important thing is whether or not he cares that he is having to play that way. And you can 100% guarantee that he does not give a crap. He will not want to come back to us. Edited September 17, 2022 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 He's never coming back. Too many bridges burnt. Do people really want the off-field drama all over again? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought social media value being English and a bit of a lad. He was worth 100 million in the sense as that is what we valued him when he signed his last contract with us. Guardian football weekly has a section on him saying he needs to show his worth soon or he could be binned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 teams can potentially afford him in England and they wont sell to United. Maybe Todd Boehly likes his stats if not then Newcastle who he probably wont want to play for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
