Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[b-rad]

I don’t know if it’s more in hope, now that we’ve got him, but I’m certainly warming to it.

If he’s used in the right way, and still the player he was a few years ago, he could be great for us. All the noises about his desire and commitment to get here and get started feel good - even if they are almost the kind of words you expect a new signing to come out with.

….in respect of Leeds, we could be under the cosh for large parts. If that’s the case, Moyes might start Alcaraz as he transitions very well on the counter and has the ability to put Beto or Barry in on goal.

Might just suit to have Grealish as an option off the bench.

I think it entirely depends how he looks in training what role he'll play v Leeds mate

If Grealish is fit he plays simple, like Eggs though probably off the bench.

Been reported by Giulia Bould that's there's no agreed number on the purchase option.

Which makes things more interesting

Why?

Just sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy the football like we used to do. We've worried about balance sheets and the like for far too long. Let's just enjoy this one and let the clever fellas do the sums.

Amen.

What are we going to do with the financial information anyway? Buy more Castore shirts to cover the pay?

Would of thought the amount of the loan is deducted from City's overall price.

When we signed James I knew that his body was crocked and we would be lucky to see the very best of him. The player was still in there but the body couldn’t do it.

I don’t have that feeling about Jack I feel like he’s ready to let rip. I do t get the “he’s won
It all so why would he care” shouts. You don’t get to where he’s gotten without incredible determination. It’s great that he’s coming to us with a point to prove, in his prime, fit and with a spot in England World Cup squad to win back

Saw a compilation of his last 15 dribblings for City today. Uploader heavily implied he was a fraud. But in the 15 dribblings, he lost the ball once, played in his teammate on goal a few times, drew a lot of fouls and got a couple of corners. I think this will be a superb signing. That man can play even at what some people call his worst and him being in shackles.

Lukaku for me.

Rodriguez was one Hell of an exciting signing, but he's Grealish is right up there..Kancheskis ? Or was he another level.

Np idea how it works being honest mate - just like the fact we haven't got a silly 50m figure pre arranged as makes a permanent deal now far more doable if he does well.

Thing with Grealish is his lifestyle - but I still think it gets overblown - I don't see him as a Gazza type out partying every day through a season, I just think he has 'high publicity' blow outs every now and again. Which makes it look way worse, just a look at him.abd never seen him not looking in great physical shape out it that way.

Plus, if you can't look at the way he celebrated the city treble and smile and feel you'd not do the exact same thing then you're boring

But there is a purchase option?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I'd imagine he'd be deployed in the 10 primarily. KDH 8. Ndiaye on the left and Alcaraz on the right (until we get that new RW in).

Her exact phrasing suggests yes there is but not at an agreed fee

Or NDiaye on right. He played there vs England I'm sure of it. Charly in #10 and Jacky Boy Shelby Grealish on the Left ? Gana holding and Gooseberry Fool as the "centre" mid ?

Plus, modern attacking footballers are intelligent enough to interchange as required. Let the mavericks be !

That feels like the purchase option we have with every player in the world.

We have the option to purchase
IF we can agree a few with the club
AND we can agree terms with the player
