Jonesy7211 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The boy has an extremely important summer coming up. I don't begrudge anyone a beer but he needs to stay out of the limelight, focus on his football, and get back to being the player we know he can be. In my opinion, he needs to move on to a team that is more flexible in their attacking approach. He's won everything there is to win at City as a team player, but the style just doesn't suit him. He doesn't need so stay for titles, he's won them already. He needs to stay injury free, negative headline free, and get back to when he was an absolute delight of a player. No England manager would be able to deny him a place at the next tournament then. At his peak, there's nobody like him. Sadly for us, and for all his achievements, Pep's denied the footballing world that version of Jack. I doubt he cares though, he can spend the summer smashed out of his face knowing he's got 3 years left on mega money at City and endorsements still rolling in. I don't blame him for that, he's a young boy with everything he could ever want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure he immediately went on the lash at Ocean Beach in Ibiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s always been rumours that his agent or dad leaked the £100m clause to the Man City journalist at the Athletic to jettison the deal. It wasn’t public knowledge before that. Not to mention how his dad became the PR voice to try and make to sound like Jack wasn’t trying to leave every summer also.

Or are footballers just that incapable of forward thinking/planning. Very possibly. But replace Man City and Ederson with Real Madrid and Courtois and it's the same outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One moment it's all about his favourite trusted players regardless of form, the next, form is the most important thing. The really weird thing about dropping Jack is that under pep he's been playing exactly the kind of safe keep possession football that Gareth loves. He's actually the best at it by a country mile. So unless he's planning on being more attack minded the decision is truly baffling! But he showed Southgate attacking football in the Bosnia game. In the end, Grealish maybe a little off form, but he obviously still has it, I saw it against Bosnia. So Southgate has basically left out a 100 million pound player, which is him just trying to flex or basically just insane. If he thinks he'll get more out of Gordon or Eze, I will tell you now, he's more of a shit manager than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been misused by Southgate in the past so I suppose he doesn't have to worry himself with it now. We can only wait and see how the others stack up but like you can only imagine toil and trouble! I'll try and be positive for Ollie and Konsa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of thing people wish on convicted murderers! That's the crazy thing, it's not humour. He's dead serious. It's extremely bizarre. I bet there are 10 year olds who have gotten over Grealish leaving quicker and didn't take it nearly as hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Would be an expensive loan with us covering wages and a loan fee on top. Id probably do the deal tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 He’s on holiday - sure it’s not a great look but he’s beyond caring about that and really doesn’t matter. He’s only doing what tens of thousands of brits do on their summer hols. players aren’t due back for preseason for several weeks yet. If it were midseason it’d be a different matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
