2025/26 Jack Grealish


leeds was a nightmare for all, ok, fine.

Brighton at home was something very different.

What I like, what speaks volumes to me is that he's not sat on his laurels at man city and decided because he wasn't playing often to just give up and take the pay cheques.

being sidelined like he has been would ruin quite a lot of players (granted, for quite some recompense) but he's kept a taste for the hunger for the playing, the game, the love of the competing.

Tell a lot about someone that keeps trying even when they don't have to.

Yup. I always felt it was a no brainer signing if he was willing to come. He’s a good fella who loves his football.

I didn't want him at first.

I don't follow much footy outside of us, but always had him down as a bit of a Jack the lad. I wondered how committed he would be as he has pretty much completed footy. But he is a cut above anything we have, or have had for a while. He makes it look easy.

The two times he was trapped in the corner and won a corner and then a goal kick - its just simple stuff, but he makes it look easy.

The other thing he done where he had the ball right on the touchline and was just dragging it. Wasted a bit of time, if he gets tackled it goes out and we keep possession.

I hope we sign him.

He will elevate everyone else because they know their first touch, movement and awareness has to be excellent when playing with him.

I was pleasantly surprised by his defensive work rate. We all know he is a baller.

What a player to have. Times are changing.

McNeil certainly needs to elevate his game as Grealish put one on a silver platter for ‘the paintbrush’ and he spooned it.

Just watch his interview and you will love him. Seems like a good one with a good family.
 
He looked class on Sunday, but I thought there were a few times he got obviously fouled and the ref was having none of it. Winning free kicks was such a big part of his game at City.. but he was barely given anything in that game. You know if he was still a city player he would have been given at least 5 free kicks 👀

I think it was reported that he has waived some of his wages to make this transfer happen as well, he’s some player. Absolutely delighted we have him here for at least the season and he will also take the pressure off Dibling somewhat which is another bonus.
