2025/26 Jack Grealish

[Tel001]

We should just buy him while he's injured.

Means no one else will be in for him.

For £25m & £250k week, we've pulled City's pants down.

It's not our money anyway and it's what the player wants that's the most important thing.

Please explain how paying top money for a 30 year old , paying the highest wages in our history and that player having a broken foot … is pulling city’s pats down


I’d sign him but 20m and max 150k wages seems a little expensive but “ fair “ seeing as we will not be able to attract anyone better

davek has finally infiltrated his security and Moyes seeming oblivious to how much danger he is in

 

[Tel001]

Think he’s staying with us for his rehab(God help him ).

Currently out for an expected 3 months ?

Should be back on the grass in the summer of 2032

Those are the maximum figures that I'd do any deal on too.

He's a good player and clearly makes the team better and those around him seem to be lifted by his presence and ability to retain the ball and win free kicks.

However he does slow play down and therefore restricts to an extent how we play.

Tyreek will be signed thereby making the Jack purchase a moot issue. I hope.

Because he raises our profile, sells shirts and wins us free kicks.

As long as he wins free kicks, it's worth it.

mcneil will surely go so we need two lw

 

[Swartzy]

No one's paying £25m and big wages for this cat.

Put the dough towards young, fast winger with sell on value - Fofana, Summerville et al.

I know 'Pep ruined him' and 'he wins us free kicks' but there's much bigger priorities for this squad.

That Fofana has been out most the season.

 

[Frenk]

I’ve loved having Jack play for us, but he isn’t the answer and we need to build for the future.

Let’s say he would want 3 years…. That’s a £64m write down in 2029.

Whilst I like watching him, I just don’t see he makes that much difference to our results.
Not even his fault tbh, when we don’t have strikers capable of scoring anything he might create, or taking advantage of the defenders he attracts.
But he doesn’t score himself (and never has) so he just doesn’t seem to be the game changer that level of expense would justify for me, certainly not without some major changes to our front line.

Assuming that's a 3 year contract, that would be a total financial package of £64m. Pants down seems a bit of an overstatement.

Lol. I should have read all the way to the end of the thread!

Do it all the time myself

I don’t think Jacks injury has been fully explained, how and when did this injury to his foot occur, had he been playing for a few games with the injury, seems strange he could be playing with such an injury for so long without it being examined.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Surely its best case scenario for us if City agree to re-loan him to us next season? would save us a fortune and im sure the lad would be happy to be back here.
