Edit: they did and he was... 59 in 2020 and 61 in 2021. Good move Jack. Tbf he's not become rubbish overnight. By a few accounts been playing very well lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 On a serious note I think if City fans were honest with themselves he’s a £40m-ish cog in a wheel. He now fits into the system so there isn’t really much else to say about him. He was hot stuff at Villa and England so he got the press and he got press at City because of his price tag. That’s all died off now. City fans supporting the price are just trying to make themselves feel better at how much they overpaid and to defend their club on social media for the decision. There just isn’t really anything else to this story anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the story is that people almost automatically want to jump on a transfer fee and label it as over paying when realistically that's where football is now and at the same time the bigger crime it only ever seems to be looked at in terms of value to the buying club... It should be the selling club, grealish was comfortably worth £100m to Aston Villa maybe even more hence his price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your worth what someone is willing to pay for you. That’s it. Same thing with Maguire. “He’s never an 80 million pound player “ Well - they paid it so he is, technically.

City’s style is stifling such a talented player. Honestly he hasnt had many at all. I did think maybe a good pre season he would be better but hasnt. I think city might pack him off in the summer. Im sure newcastle will live to take him . Him and almiron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Pretty sad sight these days when Emerson Royal has him in his pocket for 90 minutes. His general play has really regressed in last year, how many crosses did he just hit out of play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2023 Best player on the pitch today. City have got some problems, he isn't one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
