Transfer Rumour Jack Grealish

We’ve already got two players that play in the same position/role as him. If this is going to be a protracted drawn-out saga then I would rather we just move on and not waste our time, we have other priority positions to address.

We have Ndiaye and Alcarez that can play No 10.
What to we need Grealish for?
Buy potential not players on a terminal downward spiral

You don’t turn down guys of Grealish’s quality. You could claim loads of players were in “terminal downward spirals” who go on to resurrect their careers and drag their new clubs up the table.

Paying top dollar for some highly dubious signings cost us 2 points deductions and almost got us relegated.
I would prefer an Alcarez or Ndiaye, someone who we may make money on not lose.

Front line of

New RW Grealish/Alcaraz Ndiaye/McNeil

New striker/Beto

Wouldn’t be that bad. Put the money into two top first team options for RW and ST and there’s a lot of flexibility and options there for Moyes to choose.

Started listening to the Blue Frontier podcast. Seems to be led by an American who is working in the scouting/recruitment industry in football. They’ve done two position reviews so far and come up with the following suggestions outside the usual carousel or PL players.

Anyone know if a) these are any good, or b) likely?

CF -
Nick Woldemate
El Bilal Toure
Yves Guessan
Promise David

RW -
Dilane Bakwa
Johan Bakayoko
Abdul Fatawu
Edon Zhegovra
Geovany Quenda

We’ll end up with Tammy Abraham & Jack Grealish on loan, won’t we? (And I wouldn’t be unhappy with that either :))

Quenda signed for Chelsea all the way back in March so I would probably be a bit skeptical to the rest of what they're saying if that's a recent pod

He’ll be a top earner, but that’s a cost of running the business. It’s not like we’ll be forking out a massive fee. If it all comes within the set budget where is the problem?

Do you expect to get one of the top players in the country cost free?

Not all about numbers. He played regularly for the treble winning City team. Truth is if he wasn’t a little bit in off his best he wouldn’t be available. I don’t want a permanent signing but if he’s available on loan for a season there’s very little risk for us. It’s effectively swapping Harrison for Grealish and paying a bit extra in wages. If he’s terrible we lose nothing except a loan slot but why would he be when he’s desperate to make the World Cup and revive his career.

This forum and the wider fanbase regularly moans about how we don't have enough goals from out wide and in other areas of the squad. He hasn't scored a lot of goals while at City, one of the best teams in the world and he looks like a player on the way down rather than someone that can refind his best football which was c. 3-4 years ago now.

Im also not sure why people are saying he's desperate to play in the world cup either as I'm sure he was desperate to play in the euros but he wasn't able to do enough then either.
 

I honestly blame Guardiola for a lot of it, I watched him a lot at Villa as my grandad is a Villa fan, and he was great, fearless, driving at players, getting shots away, taking risks.

Now it’s all about keeping the ball, soon as a right back squares him up he passes it back to keep the ball, very boring and safe it’s got to have been drilled into him. Get him in, let him take some risks.
 
Well, they're already starting with it on social media...

So I guess in many other ways: Welcome home, Jack. :oops:
