Strange u-turn. Unless the deal will possibly allow him to leave for cheaper next summer? Seems unlikely. Be very very happy if he stays where he is though.
Debruyne at Villa is a bad comparison because his game isn't about running. Even if he played at Villa he wouldn't hog the ball.So wrong, so naive. The best player adapt if they have to, no player hugs the ball too long if the perfect option is available. Imagine de Bruyne at Villa all of a sudden, don’t you think he would stop and seek options more than what he is doing now? Of course he would. Besides, it’s not like City win every game 5-0 and find life easy, there are lots of games with little space and low blocks, this is where Grealish comes in handy as he escapes defenders with ease and picks the perfectly weighted pass. Him and de Bruyne in the same team, if they work perfectly, is a scary thought.
The league? Mate. He's the best player in the world. Our very own English RonaldinhoThe hyperbole surrounding this guy is getting nauseous. Best player in the league for some
Weird way of looking at Delph's utilization at City, given that he was starting LB for their best season in the league since Pep's arrival (100 points).89 appearances in 4 years for a club who play 60 a season a year doesn't strike me as playing a lot.
And if you don't think he ever played left back I would go and do your research.
He’s been told to wait 12 months when Pogba leavesStrange u-turn. Unless the deal will possibly allow him to leave for cheaper next summer? Seems unlikely. Be very very happy if he stays where he is though.
He had 22 appearances in the league, not at all at left back by any means, in a season Mendy was injured and Zinchenko hadn't emerged.Weird way of looking at Delph's utilization at City, given that he was starting LB for their best season in the league since Pep's arrival (100 points).
What ?He has the marketability of Beckham combined with the entertainment of Ronaldinho. He could be the face of this football club for the next several years. To sign him is a no-brainer.
I am always wondering what they would be said when they watched Ronaldinho. If grealish is modern Ronaldinho then Ronaldinho would be whom in their perspective?These Ronaldinho comparisons are killing me. Are they being made by people who weren't old enough to witness him? Grealish isn't anywhere close to the entertainment factor he offered, they're not even remotely similar really.
I know quite a few are (rightfully) taking the piss, but the fact even a couple are serious is mind boggling.
Exactly.His main attribute is his decision making and ability to create chances consistently.
Absolutely mate. Let's improve and mind our own business, feck what City does.Aye, we’d have played a blinder!
Here he goes again. (and I even rate Grealish a lot, but this is borderline crazy).He has the marketability of Beckham combined with the entertainment of Ronaldinho.
He's just had a little taster of what it might be like over the summer.For me, raises questions about his mentality. I know in life being happy is the most important thing but I would have thought a player with his ability would be eager to test himself at the very highest level. This might be his only opportunity to.move to a big club in his career. Not many teams are going to offer £100m for him.
He'll soon be 26 and has yet to play a European game.

What's it got to do with his mentality. Some players just love their clubs more than personal success or glory. Fair fecks to him. Admirable to want to be a legend for your boyhood club and see how far you can take them. 1 league cup with them would mean more to him than a treble with City probably.For me, raises questions about his mentality.

I think it's the stupid haircut. Think of all the Brylcreem sponsorships Woody could sell if Grealish came here.What ?
City with Grealish and Kane will be pissing on us from a great height, with or without Sancho and Varane and a DM.Didn't think I will ever say this, but if we end this window with Sancho, Varane and a proper DM who is also good on the ball, I couldn't care less.
Yeah, instead of 95 points they will get 97.City with Grealish and Kane will be pissing on us from a great height, with or without Sancho and Varane and a DM.
Nah it's the legs, all the women love him for thatI think it's the stupid haircut. Think of all the Brylcreem sponsorships Woody could sell if Grealish came here.
Huh? That's just not true at all. March 2020:What a difference 12 months make. Last summer he wasnt good enough and wouldnt play was the general consensus with a few saying he would....12 months later he is a fantastic player we should try desperately to sign being the general consensus with a few saying he is over rated.
I thought last summer he shoul dhav ebeen the number one target. Solved so many squad positions, yet I beleive he would have started and alloowed us to sell a few of the players linke dto leave this summer last summer....instead we got VDB who at the moment is just another number.
I sitll lvoe Grealish and of course would be delighted to have him at our club.....but timing is now wrong. We have lots of wing options, as lots of our wingers can play both flanks and we have youngsters coming through. I still think he would start actually, butwe have other priorities and the cost of Grealish would be at the expense of 1 or 2 of them, shame for me but Ithink the time to sign him has passed
I remember being gutted that we didn't sign him.These Ronaldinho comparisons are killing me. Are they being made by people who weren't old enough to witness him? Grealish isn't anywhere close to the entertainment factor he offered, they're not even remotely similar really.

Skimming through it, I dont see how this dispels what I said at all, back it up pretty much?Huh? That's just not true at all. March 2020:

Yes the fact the owners are bellends is the reason such a thing didn't happen.Should have bought him in January when we got to the top of the league. Would have been a statement, and kicked us on Cantona style . Unfortunately we’re owned by massive bellends.
He was injured for most of the second half of the season.Should have bought him in January when we got to the top of the league. Would have been a statement, and kicked us on Cantona style . Unfortunately we’re owned by massive bellends.
Grealish and Maddison were this forums choice for the position behind the striker. I think Bruno was seen as 2nd choice or third choice.What a difference 12 months make. Last summer he wasnt good enough and wouldnt play was the general consensus with a few saying he would....12 months later he is a fantastic player we should try desperately to sign being the general consensus with a few saying he is over rated.
And bench Rashford?If this news about Pogba to PSG has any weight in it, we absolutely have to try and use the funds to go for Grealish.
Not only do we acquire the most like for like replacement for Pogba that is available but we also reduce the chances of our rival strengthening themselves by acquiring him (city).
Rashford will play. Put him in a 3. Think he could be great for us there tbh. His ability to hold the ball, play out of pressure and drive are his best assets.And bench Rashford?
I’d be interested to see if the club has a table geared towards calculating that sort of thing. AKA How much value does that add onto a players price.If this news about Pogba to PSG has any weight in it, we absolutely have to try and use the funds to go for Grealish.

Yeah likewise. Specially a rival so close to home!I’d be interested to see if the club has a table geared towards calculating that sort of thing. AKA How much value does that add onto a players price.

This.Rashford will play. Put him in a 3. Think he could be great for us there tbh. His ability to hold the ball, play out of pressure and drive are his best assets.
