Still think City regret signing him.
Think they only signed him because they missed out on Kane and he was the current flavour of the month as the media were running a hype campaign to get him in the England team

He's doing something amazing in this game, making Emerson-Royal look like a half decent RB

Wow. He manufactured this one for sure. Ran into Romero’s legs and tumbled to the ground .

VAR didn't even look at it... He is so good at fooling referees into obtaining whatever FK he wants.

So unproductive. 2 goals in all comps all season. Massive downgrade from what Sterling used to get on the same wing.

Funny how poundland Becks doesn't get remotely the same scrutiny as our big money signings like Antony and Sancho, despite costing £100million.

Guardiola is such a strange fecker to give green light to sign this dude for £100m.

It is so bizarre..

Absolute clown of a player spends more time on the floor than he does taking on defenders . He gets applauded for it as well his main attribute is ‘wins fouls’ fecking shitter I can’t stand him

He's like off-season Hazard every season.

Well, where are those people who was hyping him and asked people to give him some time to excel? The league, the country and the environment were nothing new to him and giving him time would not change anything.

Some thought he would be great signing for United. Mind you though not that we did so much better with the two wingers with high transfer fee ourselves.

Truly awful player. Not interested in doing anything that actually makes an impact. All he wants is to run around and draw fouls. Never liked him and still don't like him. Villa got away with a massive robbery.

Grealish fanfare convinced me that football is a great sport, watched by mostly idiots.

Feck knows what Tyler and Neville were watching. He's so predictable and really doesn't do much.

They tried to be clever and do their business early, thinking if they snapped Grealish up first, Kane would come running. Levy had other ideas.

Grealish is a clothes horse. £100m and hardly a first teamer. Very lucky the squad is packed with experienced league winners.

He epitomises a problem with many modern forwards: They'd rather go down and draw the foul than try to stay on their feet. It's the same with Neymar and several others. But most freekicks lead to absolutely nothing. Look at Eden Hazard when he was at his peak: He was so good at using his low centre of gravity to ward off tackles and keep the attack going, which created a much better goalscoring chance than a freekick would have. Winning a freekick is not an accomplishment, it's a consolation prize.

Oh, and some people wanted to sign him to replace Bruno, saying he would make us so much better with his "ball carrying and dribbling skills."

The circles they were contorting themselves into to avoid calling him a diver and make it seem like he was having a good game

Absolutely cnut of a player, got away with so many bookings. For some reason referees never give him yellow

This is totally his problem, would rather go down and win a free kick than score a goal. He's end product is awful. 5 goals and 6 assists for a 100 million pound player is a terrible return.

Spends most of the game chucking himself to the floor

Shocking signing but no-one cares about City so it's not talked about as much

He seems more interested in winning freekicks than anything else, I can't stand watching him play and think the criticism other players in the league get compared to this overrated player is a joke.

Plus English nationality.

If he was Javi Grealio, media types would be saying ‘that lad needs to stop diving so much’

But he’s English so he’s Jack the cheeky lad who says banter when he’s drunk.

I don’t usually double post a player over one game but just came back to say he’s fecking awful. A prancing overrated prat. Every attack on the left died when it went to his side. He made Emerson Royal look like Cafu.
