Don't ever put his name to the Brazilian god, not even as a joke. Ronaldinho was one of a kind.He must be one of the most unexciting expensive players ever, imagine that there are actual people who enjoy his football. English Ronaldinho.

Was brilliant at Villa.
At City it's a strange game of stay wide, get it, feint to go one way, pass it backwards or go down.
It's like he's been Van Gaal'd where he's told if you're definitely not going to beat someone don't try, and just hold the ball.

No 6-pack, just 2Pac
His main role at City is to prevent other PL clubs from getting him where he'd be the main man again.

Someone praised him when he signed for City that he is very exciting as English Ronaldinho.Don't ever put his name to the Brazilian god, not even as a joke. Ronaldinho was one of a kind.

Fergie would have bought him for sure. I wanted him. Before Bruno, seemed like he'd be a perfect 10.
Now he's a boring cog in a boring machine, but also a very wealthy one with lots of medals.

For those who actually watch City, are the claims of diving actually true these days? People used to say it all the time about Grealish at Villa and it was mostly rubbish back then. It's just that he was so good at holding and running with the ball that defenders would ultimately have to make a foul to stop him. In fact he consistently kept his feet and kept going for many of the little nibbles that most players throw themselves to the ground for, which is why he then got so many definite fouls against him as the little things wouldn't work.
I basically don't watch City so not sure if that's still the case or whether Pep has truly turned him into a diver now.

I won't call it diving, but sometimes he could stay on his feet if he wanted. It's not outright flailing legs trying to make contact with the oppositions leg.
There is some contact to justify the fall. But yes he does go down a lot knowing he will get a foul.

Its a shame whats happened to him, the Villa version would have been brilliant for us and had a swagger that we're crying out for, and would have been a main player for us instead of a bit-part in City.
He was another opportunity squandered by us. We should have got him for 60m-70m before he signed a contract extension at Villa. He would have solved the dual purpose for us by being an option for both the LW and at no.10. That would have given Rashford both a rest and kick up the ass that season and would have allowed us to give Bruno breaks. But instead we went for Donny Van de Meek for 40m and the rest is history.
Agree. Some players just go to City to end up being a cog in the machine and like @tenpoless said above, to prevent them from being available to other Premiership clubs. Grealish could still be the main man in a very good Villa team or have had a lot more room to play with us an be a bonafide star.Its a shame whats happened to him, the Villa version would have been brilliant for us and had a swagger that we're crying out for, and would have been a main player for us instead of a bit-part in City.

He doesn't fit at a team of robots, it's just the opposite of a player who is as expressive as him. I'd happily take him here.
