He was better as a winger. Playing him as a CM just won't get the best out of him IMO.
Or just very good English players. There's always that premium. Or you know, Coutinho
Yup. I used to hate when people on here were saying "he's a United player" a year ago, but it's absolutely true. He's perfectly suited for Old Trafford. Hope the piss easy trophies would have been worth it.And we know how that ended... so you never know.
I think everyone looks at Grealish and he just doesn't seem the City player. In my eyes he is a pure entertainer, he needs to play for a club with history where he will be adored and stadiums will sing for him. Almost like at the Euros.
You will get about 50 fans singing for you at City;.

Yeah that's one thing I noticed about him yesterday and with England, he seems almost stifled. Shoehorned into a rigid system. Dean Smith let him express himself and that's what made him so exciting and you're right I think Ole would have been the same. I know players want trophies and that seems to be the endgame, but surely there has to be space in the heart for wanting to be adored by fans and putting on a show? Otherwise you're just a bit of a robot going through the motions for a very well oiled (no pun intended) machine.I do think he would have suited United under Ole. We allow players to express themselves and that is what Grealish wants to do.
Look at Villa, he was adored by the crowd and that is what drives him, he likes that pressure and the love.
Unfortunately, he is getting the opposite now, opposition fans are booing him.
different player. He is more a Silva than a BrunoNot sure where Squealish fits into this Coventry team. He seemed to be wanting to occupy the same space as Sterling, leaving them unbalanced. Left a huge gap in the midfield for 36 year old Fernandinho to cover. Spurs countered down that side over and over.
De Bruyne was only on for 10 mins, but instantly showed the gulf in class.
Jack is a luxury player, who will never achieve the same numbers as Bruno.

No it’s him being a city player. He is overrated though. I mean when people say he’s on another level to Fernandes — that overrating a player.I think it's less to do with him being a City player now and more to do with people wanting to be vindicated on their "he's overrated" stance. It was the same during the Euros while he was still a Villa player and probably would have been the same had he went to Chelsea or something.
And yet I feel only one side is taking the piss. The other is deadly serious.Those cringe posts are much better than what Grealish fan boys came up with.( "OMG We missed the trick again" "We are left behind again" "Shows how far we have fallen" "OMG I can't watch best player in the league now" )
I meant this summer and also he didn't come as we didn't make an acceptable bid. We thought we will get him for good price, we didn't and we didn't even make a bid. That story was closed. Not sure why would any ManUtd fan hold that against Grealish. It's not like Ramos situation where he used us for better contract. Like I said, this is something you want to happen rather than what actually happened.
Ofcourse bit of common sense would say why the number is higher. One poster makes a daft claim, this is a forum with more than 1000 posters online, even if 50 posters respond to that, it will obviously be higher. It's same in any thread when one or two posters make daft claims and you will have many posters who will reply to that post.
Also if anyone rates Grealish highly (and didn't come up with Ronaldinho, Zidnane, Best player in the league thing), not sure why they take the bait. When people post mocking posts, it's for the right audience, the one who came up with daft posts.
There are posts which are to mock the daft posts and then there are so many posts which analyzed his performance without any hyperboles, just like how there are posts which praised Grealish without hyperboles and the daft ones. You have both type of posts from both sides.
I’m surprised that it’s something that’s noticed before the fact that he wears a kit that’s way too small for him.His most impressive feat for me is making me realize you can in fact have punchable hair.
The hair though, he looks like the love child of Nick Carter and The Situation from Jersey Shore.I’m surprised that it’s something that’s noticed before the fact that he wears a kit that’s way too small for him.
He is still somehow unironically compared to BecksThe hair though, he looks like the love child of Nick Carter and The Situation from Jersey Shore.
They have to abide by FFP so much they're trying to sign Kane for 120 million.
Underrated comment!His most impressive feat for me is making me realize you can in fact have punchable hair.
It just dawned on me that the reason for the low socks is because his calves are too massive. It’s probably uncomfortable to pull them all the way up, if not impossible. I’ve always known they were big but bloody hell. Jack did not skip leg day!
Another thread going all homoerotic?
He has calves of a body builder. I always wonder if that is sustainable for a footballer and whether that would result in too many lower body injuries as he gets older.Schweinsteiger had humongous calves, and he was also able to wear socks properly.
First player I noticed rolling their socks down was Rui Costa. Totti did it too, and then Thomas Muller. It's just a style thing, surely?
Also, wasn't his long term injury last season a shin injury? Was that due to his tiny shin pads, perhaps?
Wow, that's interesting, a buddy of mine had unusually large calves for the rest of his frame and he wound up exactly with achilles issues that's pretty much put him out of any intensive sports.As somebody with calves that makes jacks look small... (lets not forget you're comparing him in photo's to other footballers who generally do not train calves), its absolute crap. Football socks are stretchy. They're not uncomfortable when pulled up.
It's entirely vanity.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he has achilles issues later in his career. One of the major draw backs to big calves is that it puts a lot of pressure on that tendons. Saving grace for Jack is that he will have access to remedial massages on the daily, but if he gets issues with them later in his career, he may end up in a world of discomfort.

So are you saying Grealish is to hair what Jesus is to eyebrows?His most impressive feat for me is making me realize you can in fact have punchable hair.

Veron for me. I fecking loved Veron.Schweinsteiger had humongous calves, and he was also able to wear socks properly.

Not a single person has said this because that will be a ridiculous statement.All of City’s fans are probably saying the fee is justified now just because he scored yesterday but I have a few problems with that.
A) the ball literally just bounced off him. He literally scored by accident. There was no skill involved.
B)The score ended up being 5-0. Is it really worth £120m to finish 5-0 instead of 4-0? No.
3) Even if he’d scored 5 yesterday you don’t justify that sort of fee after one game. Calm down City fans with these ridiculous sorts of claims. Come back in 15 years then maybe we can talk about whether he justified the fee (he won’t have).
