MellbergsBeard Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 So he has won it all at club level, I imagine he will buy himself out of his contract and not move back to his club on free? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to care when the club they represent is killing the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him doing well and proving the doubters wrong (mainly because it proves we were right when we all said how good he is) and that's about it.

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted June 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I didn't want Man City to win for a multitude of reasons. Some morally due to who funds them, some petty like the enjoyment I got from being stood on the Holte once a season chanting "Champions of Europe you'll never sing that". Did Jack Grealish being part of the team that won it soften the blow of them winning it, did it balls. It is going over old ground which I am loathe to do but I don't hold him any higher esteem than any other very good player who through choice moved on. In fact he loses kudos as he, unlike most others, spouted from the roof tops at every opportunity how he was one of us. I've seen some great players move on by choice, who gave way more to this club than Grealish in Dwight Yorke, Gareth Barry, Ashley Young and others like David Platt, James Milner and Benteke. I had no interest in seeing them do well and win things as that would now mean the club they played for, and not my club, winning things. I have exactly the same thoughts as regard Grealish. Just some player who turned his back on my club and now plys his trade elsewhere. I had a feeling he may well end up back with us one day but now I am not so sure as his peak years are likely to be behind him then and hopefully we'll be above the level he is then at. If he does return will I chant his name, as I did with Ashley Young the last two years? quite possibly as I am like most fans a bit of a two faced bastard and you stick my clubs shirt on, give your all and then pretty much all is forgiven. Until that day comes though, despite now again finding myself in this thread, I really couldn't give a shit about Jack Grealish.
