Takes a bit of time to build up the blood level.
Jack Grealish | Man City
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
What an awful post.Or Bernanod Silva who barely completed 90 minutes in his first season and his fitness was suspect with Monaco. The next season he looked to have the ability to play 3 games on the same day.
No counter point then...
The main counter is that Sancho is playing for us; whereas Grealish is playing with probably the best attacking football team in the world.
You came 2nd last season and Ronnie, Sancho and Varane were supposed to elevate you to a title shot? No. Back in August I got told many times they would.
Ronnie has delivered, Varane when fit has delivered.
Grealish has been poor for what its worth especially in terms of end product, so has Sancho. Its not a big deal nor the end of the world for either unless it happens again next season.
Its just hilarious people are laughing at a £100m player having a poor season whilst their own £76m wonderkid is doing the same given again in August it was clear Sancho was the far better deal.
For what its worth I believe Sancho has a better chance of turning it around than Jack.
No he has not.
And he's not part of the dysfunction? Team came 2nd last season signed Varane, Ronnie and Sancho and are now going to come 5th of 6th... Ronnie and Varane have delivered.
Grealish competes with Sterling and Foden and everyone here cries he's dropped. Sancho competes with Rashford... yet they've both now started 20 games each.
Edit: We'll say Varane has struggled too because I haven't seen enough of him to argue with those who have.
He's been good when I've watched him but I will concede that point as I haven't seen as much of him as you guys.
It was a crazy time on the caf. Every now and then there's a player that a large part of the forum collectively decides is the one. I'm convinced many barely watched the player but subscribe to the group think. James McCarthy was another one.He was amazing for Villa. Everyone in the forum was fawning over him back then. Looked promising in the little playing time he got for England.
Hardly a surprise that a young, marketable player with lots of flair got love from the fans.
I'm sure I remember someone calling him the "Modern Day Ronaldinho"...
I thought I was going crazy with how much praise Grealish was getting. Go back and you'll see people laughing at suggestions that Bernardo and Mahrez were better. He was even being called the best player in the league. Truly strange times.
If he cost 50 million no one would say anything. The price tag just adds so much pressure to the signing. The argument he isn’t worth 100million is valid given the stats but commercially he adds something to the team.. and let’s face it that was part of the appeal. He is also a very good player.
What has Grealish added commercially? Shirt sales?
Tbh mate it doesn’t need a counter point. What you said was factually nonsense.
It’s not difficult to pick who has been worse it’s quite obvious. Surely you get that?!
Why would you discuss Sancho in the Grealish thread? If you want to discuss Sancho, do it in the Sancho thread, that's what it's there for.
Otherwise, it's just deflection.

Not really a tough call on which deal is worse at the present moment. Just face it instead somehow brining last year's finish into it
.Thought he looked good in the second half against Leeds. He wasn't so hesitant in the way he was playing, which seems to have been an issue from the games I have seen him play. Could have had an assist if their other forwards bothered to run into the box when he got in behind.
I think he might work out better if they play with a proper striker next season.
Also, don't really get the dislike for him, to be honest.

and.. who is?
He's too self indulgent and doesn't play well with the rest of the team. More interested in doing his own thing, beating his man and looking good. City players often do struggle in the first year so let's see how he does next season. So far he just doesn't seem a very City City player.
Aren’t you supposed to beat your man out on the left wing? Open the pitch out wide and get in behind..
Deffo a bit of wishful thinking going on here I guess.
Bottler.
Anyone who subs in Grealish in a serious game deserves to lose
He created both chances tbf. Bit unlucky not to score, also great saves from Madrid. I don’t think he’s done badly.
£100 million don't you know.
He was genuinely in awe before the game at being at the Bernabeu for this games atmosphere. He’s just not used to this sort of level, which makes him being the PL record fee all the more nutty
The stadium unveiling should have helped, no?
He's absolutely done City, he had 2 great chances to kill the game.
A toe save and a massive piece of bad luck prevented him from closing this game out.
Point the fingers at the defense before Grealish.

He is world class at winning free kicks
He’ll be back in a mid table side within two years. Maybe Spurs.
They should've pushed for the Kane signing first, but nope, tried to be all clever...
100 million
could and should have scored 2. Pep will have him gone by the end of next season
Quality player but not a Pep player
That was actually one of his better appearances for City, looked as if he belonged at that level.
Funny you say that, he was the one (crappily) defending the initial crosses into the box for both of Rodrygo's goals
£100m for a male model. Commercial signing purely to continue the sports washing. Alas he has all the charisma and personality of a layby flower stall.
He looked good when he came on. Carvajal struggled to deal with him. Not sure why there is criticism. Weird.
If anything, that looked promising for his future outlook at the club.
If Foden held back, it would have been game over. Grealish was falling and could only get it across goal.

Exactly how and when was this man first considered a TopTop player?
Never a TopTop player.

Thought he did alright tbh
