2025/26 Jack Grealish

[D. Amokachi]

Oh no I’ve fallen in love again. This always ends in tears.

A self confessed former reds view on the man, the myth, the Grealish.

….have to say, I thought this lad was a hugely overestimated and couldn’t believe City bought him, never mind paying what they did for him

Eggs said:

….hugely overrated at Villa and doubts over his motivation, massive swerve for a very lucky footballer.

Eggs said:

agree. I’m not particularly bothered by his arrival but his answers to questions sounded sincere, not soundbites. Could be a popular addition to the dressing room. Hopefully he now does his talking on the pitch, Moyes is clearly a long time admirer and talk of him being played centrally...

Eggs said:

….what a nonsense, Grealish isn’t and has never been prime Messi. There is enough doubt about the player for people to have differing opinions.

Eggs said:

….i’m in the ‘not bothered’ camp, so I suppose you can count me as a ‘fool’. Saying that, encouraged Moyes wants him and encouraged at reports that he’s particularly keen on joining us. I’m not ‘excited’ by the deal but it’s a loan, it raises the clubs profile and hopefully he’s the success...

Eggs said:

….never been a footballer I liked

Eggs said

….because I want effective footballers. The lad has quality but I don’t see him busting a gut to hit the box when the ball is on the other flank, getting in goalscoring positions and finishing in the 6 yard box. If I’m a striker, I’d find him frustrating to play alongside. I watched him closely...

Eggs said:

….never been a fan, even at Villa. He’s been found out at City and it doesn’t in the least surprise me as I posted at the time how overrated he was.

Eggs said:

I’ve posted for many years on here how overrated I think Grealish is based purely on watching him for Villa and City. It’s an opinion I hold

Eggs said:

….for me, it would be another underwhelming addition. Two acquisitions who play with socks around their shins.

Eggs said:

….just as likely a complete waste of monies, I don’t think he’d be even nearly our 2nd best player. Hopefully the report that we’re not interested is accurate, bloke is hugely overrated (in my opinion).

Eggs said:

….i just don’t think he’s very good, but i suppose we need squad fillers.

Eggs said:

….Manchester City comparison; Sterling 91 goals in 225 games (a goal every 2.4 games) Grealish 12 goals in 94 games (a goal every 7.8 games) Grealish cost £100m, crazy.

Eggs said:

…I wasn’t a fan even when he was at Villa. I watched him closely in his last game for them at Goodison and I was very disappointed. I have always thought he was very lucky to get the move he got.

Eggs said:

….i’d be totally amazed if this fella is remotely on our radar.

Eggs said:

….we have limited spend, we have priority positions to fill, we have limited loan contracts and yet we’re linked with a mega-expensive player who plays in a position where we already have a superior footballer. All seems a bit odd to me.

 

[helpimonfire]

To think, some of our fans never wanted him here. Jeez!

 

[Nyhus]

To think many, myself included, was lukewarm towards him signing. Happy to say my second take on his signing was better than my first. Great player, gives others a chance to get forward and get involved.
Hes gonna win us so many free kicks

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Baller

 

[PhilM]

Grealish at the end there, hugging the ball on the touchline, dragging two of their players over to deal with him - and still finding that killer pass. That's what he's all about - he's an elite player.

He made the difficult things look so simple: the pass to Gana looked straightforward, but it was nothing of the sort.

 

[BlueBarrow]

I loved the way he looked around all corners of the ground after that interview and soaked it all in then walked the pitch and clapped all corners.

He’s gonna love being the main man again and we’re all gonna love him.

This !!

 

[Neiler]

Played well for someone whose leg fell off yesterday.

 

[chippy1722]

To think, some of our fans never wanted him here. Jeez!

One bad pass and they’ll be back out in force don’t worry.
Only two players I really wanted was Grealish and Dibling.

 

[PeregrineT]

He is so good. I wonder at those people who were questioning if the loan fee was worth it.

What really cemented it though was some of the good defensive plays he made, combined if the whole season looks like that hes gonna be loved here.

 

[blue in oxford]

i was one who doubted but on this 1 game showing class apart.
doesnt loose or give ball away

 

[southbluey]

His composure in the final third is incredible. It’s like time slows when he is on the ball there. Just wish we had gotten the ball to him more often

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Get him on the ball around their box and running at the fullback and he is magic. Don’t think we’ve had that sort of bums of the seats wide player since Arteta before his injury and Kanchelskis before him. Fullbacks just panic. I hope NDiaye learns from how Grealish uses his skills around the box because he has the ability to reach the same level. Grealish, NDiaye and Dibbling. Dribblers FC. We’ll be dangerous this season.

….i’ve never been a fan, Zat, I’m very open about that. I’m not a fan of KDH either, hopefully you vault me on that too.

Big difference is, I’m chuffed he did well today and celebrated his performance and part in our goals because it’s more important than my view.

Go Ed Jack lad , long may the vaults continue. Imagine not celebrating Everton wins, I’m on the rum already.

Underwhelming addition' is the best shout there, he's the most overwhelming signing we've made in years, I still can't believe he's playing for us.
