Dribbling is the process of going past opponents. Ball carrying is generally referring to moving with the ball into space.Is that not just considered, well, dribbling?
It’s a silly distinction but valid I guess.

Ake probably earns what Jesse does. Shit, he probably earns what Lindelof does. City overpay everyone, it’s just done quietly as nobody gives a Fcuk about them.
Surely we can cobble up £50m plus Lingard & Axel (who they love) and scupper this?
You know it's not even a bad shout. Villa don't really need the cash, whereas both of those players help them. I'm sure they'd love to sell somewhere other than City given they also signed 2 of their previous captains in Barry and Delph.
Won't happen though because we need to sell to sign anyone else. If we were really serious we'd go for it with the intention to offload Pogba to PSG. Would instantly take us from likely trailing City by some margin to title contenders.
The thing is, the City squad is so strong that it is no insult to Grealish to say that he doesn’t improve them that much.
the lower your starting point, the easier it is to improve.
On that basis, our signings improve us far more than this signing improves City.
Panic not. The gap is getting smaller, you can quote me.

Messi is on the market, wonder if City pull out of this deal
From Reddit.
you didn't need to go to Reddit to find that, the same line has been made hereFrom Reddit.
oh you know Pep is fuking pissed knowing they just spent 100m on Grealish only for Messi the next day to announce he's leaving on a free this summer from Barca
I still don't get why they're signing him when a striker would be better for them
Didn't say lmaoo on here, though
Grealish to City, Outlook; Messimistic.Messi is on the market, wonder if City pull out of this deal
Must be devastated as a United fan to go and join City
Paperwork was signed, so that would cost them quite a lot.Messi is on the market, wonder if City pull out of this deal

fecking hell. What a signing to an already stacked team.
If anyone managed to pip City to the CL or Prem then fair fecks to them because no one should be beating these over a season or tournament

Hope he fails miserably 
No way fuking City were going to let United steal the summer thunder when we signed Sancho and Varane thus they over pay for Grealish at a position that is already well stocked
Shut the thread
Would have to agree with that, no doubting he's a quality player that villa will probably get relegated without, but better than all their other first choice options???...
You know there is an element of this deep down in Jacks mind, no matter how small, who you support as a kid growing up is the purest of football things, it never leaves you.
Enjoy the plastic imitation Jack.
He looks devastated
Ridiculous fee but I can't help thinking they have bought an absolute diamond
Wish it was to us but I can’t grudge him for going there when we aren’t going to buy him
But he says it's his dream come true
Grealish to City, Messi to PSG, Mbappe to Real it seems. Pogba is likely to stay at United for now.
On the plus side, they just spunked 100 million on Grealish, and an hour later Messi is available on the market.
LARF!!!
LARF!!!
They are more than capable of buying a striker as well this summer.
I’m sure it would be if the shirt were red.
The PL's first ever 100m player and that record could conceivably be broken twice more in this transfer window.
I don’t think City would have known about the Messi news at the same time as the rest of us. Messi’s agents has probably been talking to them and PSG while the contract stuff dragged on.
Time to close the thread - he signed already
City Medical Team: Paging for Grealish. We have some additional tests to run. Please report immediately.
Dickhead. I hope he fails miserably.
Money talks!
