Astroblack Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 As much as I hate Liverpool, I respect their history and it would kind of make sense. I hate City and Real have Camavinga and Tshoumeni. Doubt they'd want three midfielders that young as their mainstays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianSwan Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 City will sign Bellingham cause they are losing Gundogan and (likely) Bernando Silva in summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Liverpool missing out on Bellingham has a similar kind of feel as when we missed out on Modric. Think they'd be wise to break the bank to get him sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Keegan couldn't have possibly been vindicated more than with how Modric turned out like. That absolute chancer Jiminez telling one of the best midfielders of all time that he wasn't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 His numbers are nowhere near good enough for Man City. 3 goals 4 assists this season and 3 and 3 last season. So many attacks just breakdown with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I've always thought Grealish was overrated but to be honest I think he's been brilliant every time I've seen him this season. Far more influential for City than just the stats would suggest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Grealish receives the ball on the touchline, takes on the fullback - goes past him and hoys himself to the ground or plays it back in support. Rinse and repeat. He doesn't run in behind like Sterling and Sane. Always ball to feet. They really miss Sterling's runs. Can't stand the horrible cheat.

brummie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Grealish is a brilliant player, absolutely brimful of talent. He is just in a team now where he's told exactly what to do by his manager, unlike when he was with us and Smith just gave him pretty much free rein to make things happen (I know that is what everyone says, but it is true). As a result, we're seeing a more restrained version of him emerge. Oddly enough, if he came back to us now, I don't think he'd necessarily do that well under Emery, who is another manager who tells his players exactly what he wants them to do, and I suspect he'd have the same limitations. What annoys me here is that Man City didn't really need Grealish, they just had to have him, to show they could.

Chicken Dancer Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Grealish has been pretty good this season to be fair. We live in an era where goals/assists are literally everything - we're obsessed with it. But as others have said, there is a lot more to why he is important for Man City. Ginola won player of the year for a team finishing midtable and only scoring 3 goals. Would never happen now (fact check this but pretty sure it's right).

toon25 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Grealish would be likeable if he had a braincell. He fits in like a treat with fellow brain donor Kyle Walker at Shiteh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
