Pep will get frustrated by his ball hogging.
Jack Grealish | Man City
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Heaven like picture that.
If higher chance of winning shit is his top top prio and he lost patience, wouldnt be surprise if true.
100m for a more talented version of Tim Cahill. Jesus Christ.
We weren't in for him on account of having better players.
Nice of City pr twisting it to make it appear he only had eyes for them
For context the article mentions that Villa tried this after they had received the £100m bid from City, so it seemed like a bit of a ploy to delay the move and probably obvious to the Grealish camp hence why he would only want City, as he knew they were the only serious club. It would have also been an attempt to buy more time to wrap up their other transfer dealings.
The most odd thing in the article is that it says City didn't know about the £100m release clause.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about that article is that Villa didn't want to sell to City as they feel they're damaging the competition with their financial power and apparently many clubs share the same view.
I'm intrigued as to how he will fit in at City since his natural instinct and game is as far away from the Pep ethos as you're going to get.
"Running with the ball"? Pep will be apoplectic

It was 2 years ago wasn't it?
As a player he reminds me of Carlos Valderamma
Good player, strange signing.
Doesn't strike me as a Pep-type of player and I'm sure whilst Grealish's bold, confident style makes him a fans favourite at a club like Villa, im not sure he's better than what City have

No last year
Yes but individual's goals don't mean anything, only team goals.
Pep is truly in love with Chelsea. He's given up trying to fight it
Or they were angry City could have been tapping him up.

Don't know why the second tweet cracks me up. He looks like a serial killer.
I wonder if Pep is going to try him as the false 9. He’s excellent at holding the ball up and bringing others into play and drawing fouls. With pace either side of him I think it could really work in a Pep setup. That being said, their interest in Kane suggests it isn’t Pep’s plan A.
Thought it was 2 years ago. Then it we bought Bruno and we've only chased Sancho since

Does even he understand what HE said in that first tweet to begin with?
When we signed VDB (last summer) rumour was Ole wanted grealish, but Ed got him VDB as he was half price.
Amazing how we sign players ages before City yet their signings are immediately involved while ours have not even started training with us yet
What do you mean? Heaton has already played.
He can't even get a game. £100m wasted on a fancy dan.
It's a poor show from us however you want to look at it. City just seem much more professional how they run things compared to us.
Grealish and Sancho had the same involvement in the Euros yet one is ready to play while we allow the other to just travel round the world and hope he shows up at some point before Christmas
Well we don't know the circumstances behind it do we?
Varane we know the issue and there wasn't anything we could do
Sancho I won't comment as I haven't read behind it or why he's not with the squad or why it's Monday. There has to be a reason rather than us being unprofessional with this
You're talking a few days difference between Grealish and Sancho, really not worth complaining about
Aye, we're literally incompetent at absolutely everything and we're the laughing stock of the footballing world. Embarassing. lol
I think Pep will get him to release the ball quicker, similar to Wijnaldum's transformation under Klopp.
I could see him play deeper in central midfield as well. Whenever Villa was on the back foot last season (like vs us) you could see why. Quick thinking and doesn't lose the ball easily without drawing a foul.
I’m with you. What a bonkers statement.
Might as well call him a more talented David Unsworth.
Bet City fans are feeling the same as when we saw Wayne Rooney playing for United for the first time. England's new wonderboy.
He’s really not been good today. Can’t believe they’ve spent 100m for that level of performance. We dodged a bullet
overrated and overpriced imo and he doesnt seem like a pep type player
Grealish said it was because we had already signed bruno
We have England's new wonder boy
It’s so weird seeing him in a club shirt that isn’t Villa.
Rooney was 18.
Sancho?
