It’s not especially surprising that the idea Grealish has flopped has spread. At a reported cost of £105m, the England international is Manchester City’s most expensive signing ever, but has only produced 4 goals and assists in the league so far, while 10 City players have got more minutes. And while he could still win the Premier League and the Champions League, he’s been less exciting in a City shirt than he was at Aston Villa, prompting some to question whether he can succeed under Pep Guardiola, and take the place of Mahrez, Foden, or Sterling.
On today’s FD Explained we look at the stats to see whether Grealish has actually been bad, and what his role this term tells us about his future under Pep. Let us know what you think in the comments.

“The last time he had a strike rate this poor, he was still Irish” has cut me deep… why you coming for us today 😭😭😭😭
Wat is irish means? ^_^
I felt that. What did we do zach huh?😅😅
@@foreignmweezzpuscle8651 Irish means from Ireland???? Grealish played youth football for Ireland before switching to England.
how did the Irish reacte to Grealish switching to English national team ?
@@raid6887 well, you'll find out once you watch "the Irish Guy" hahaha
He's been a "flop" if you take into consideration his 100M price tag, but he's been pretty decent overall. If City had paid like 40M for him, no one would pay attention. But we all know City didn't buy Grealish for his presence on the pitch, they bought him for marketing reasons considering he's one of England's most hyped players and his appearance attracts people.
that could be said about nearly every player ever bought, if united bought Pogba for 30-40m he wouldn't be a flop? But they didn't and he is do is grealish rn. He still has time but he has most definitely flopped this season
Oh but when United buy players then it's the worst signing ever
Yeah they need English players as well
@@daftbanna7202 City have already assembled a winning squad, they can afford to do it, United have not, so every luxury player they bring who does not perform, is the worst thing ever.
@@daftbanna7202 That’s because it normally is a pretty shit signing 😂
He’s not “bad” but for 100m he needed to be a nailed on starter. He doesn’t even have a huge impact when he comes on. He’s not a match winner and he’s certainly not a unique player that brings them anything they couldn’t get from someone at a third of the price. The fact a CB has more goal involvements is telling…
His expected assists off the top of my head are quite high. If city council vetted more of the chances he created the narrative would be different
@@jordanmotlib7392 the narrative wouldn’t be different cause we actually watch games and not excel spreadsheets. he has been bad
@@marcelohendrix6139 if he had 9 goal involvements instead of 4 it would be different still not great for 100mil but considering how good man city’s squad already is how many players are gonna be nailed on starters for city if they signed tomorrow not many really and we’ll have to see how Haaland does but I mean after so many 100mil+ signings flopping it’s hard to justify spending that much on any player
@@dwarfogaming9323 9 goal involvements? pepe who was cheaper and deemed a flop had way better numbers in his first season
His ball carrying is something that is absolutely unique that couldn’t be bought for 1/3 the price, even if he hasn’t fully justified his price so far. It’s possible he never makes the huge impact he should at city, but to say he’s not unique is insane to me.
he’s been solid but disappointing when considering the price tag
He is a good player......problem is that he is surrounded with better players
im not worried at all as a city fan. mahrez had the same problem in his first season, but look at him now.
@@packrunnerdarsh2231 yes...look at him. Still starting at the bench
@@miky5941 ???? only behind salah in goal contributions in the WORLD, what are you talking about
At this moment in time he is a flop. He can get out of that label the same way many others in his team have done (Mahrez, Cancelo etc) but at this moment he is a flop. City would not be any more different without him might actually be even better if its possible, he does not affect the game when he is put on, has only 2 goals and 2 assists etc. These are Alexis Sanchez at Man United levels of bad at the moment but it doesnt mean he cant turn it around
You can’t be a flop after one season at City. Anyone who actually watches City plays knows it takes a whole season to adapt. Judge him on next season not this season
So he mentions stats which shows grealish directly influences games from being a substitution and now your just throwing all that out the window and forgetting these statistics exist? Even when he plays he looks quite dangerous, many players in there first years wernt that good at city but De Bruyne and Dias.
@@TRiXz_2K as i said he is a flop at the moment not a full on flop. The label changes as you prove youself as the biggest example again Alexis Sanchez, everyone at United were saying the exact same expect they didnt pay 100m in transfer (just insane wages). Kai Havertz was also a flop up until the end of last season where he scored the UCL final goal.
@@c15rise35 Number one: anyone can look like prime Messi with enough stats.
Number two: i have watched a lot of City games this season and it is undeniable, he does not effect the game. When Mahrez comes on i goes at the defenders and tries to make something happen and most of the time it works. When Grealish comes on he puts in 3 bad crosses, gets fauled 10 times and thats it.
@@filipstojanovski5244 number 2: Kai havertz was a flop? With 9 goals and 8 assists in his first season and a CL final goal, You really know nothing about football so stop chatting shit with no real factual base😂
Yes, just because he’s English he isn’t considered a flop. People called Nicolas Pepe a flop for less money and also the same for Lukaku, but because Grealish is English he’s coddled by the media. Pepe had better stats and played less than him in his first season
What’s with the victim mentality? He’s been called a flop, same as Maguire and Sancho who are also English. Look at the criticism they get compared to Pepe!
@@Bulskee Good one 👍
@@Bulskee wtf victim mentality? don't comment with your buzzwords yank, it's literally the truth and everyone in europe knows how the English media overhypes their more than average players all the time, nothing to do with victim mentality, just the cold hard facts, if he wasn't English and played such a season with this a price tag the media would've mauled him 😂
He’s a very good player it’s just baffling that they spent 100 million on a 26 year old who wasn’t even a solid upgrade or even an upgrade at all in most cases than what they already had in Foden, Sterling, Silva and Mahrez. Especially when he’s older than Foden and the same age as Sterling and Silva. They’d have been better off spending that money on either a younger player with a higher ceiling than Grealish or a true world class player. If I’m looking and seeing my team up against City and I see they’re starting Jack Grealish ahead of say Sterling or Foden I wouldn’t really give a shit. He doesn’t add a significant amount over what they add. And he’s a 100 million pound attacker which is bananas.
sometimes I feel like pep bought him so nobody else could use him against them
I think pep may also have brought him in because he is literally the best ball carrier in the world and that brings a new dimension to the team
Remember pep initially wanted him to play midfield when he first bought him, we wanted him as an 8 which doesn't seem like too bad of an idea considering how good he is at carrying the ball and how good his passing is, could be something to look at especially with Bernardo wanting to leave
City attackers always take a year to settle into peps system. Look at Bernardo, Sterling, Mahrez
I believe just like them he'll improve next year but he'll never live up to the 100 mil price tag. It's just too much for almost any player. If city had bought him for 60 mil like mahrez he would have less pressure.
The thing is, they’re doing what they did at their previous clubs and contributing. If Grealish does what he did at Villa it adds very little to Man City.
for 100m he's been a flop even if he has a lot of progressive carries lmao
Everyone is obsessed with g/a and don’t actually watch the games. He’s actually had a pretty good first season. He’s drags players out of position and creates space for his teammates, which massively helps in a City team when the opposition always parks the bus. What people forget is that Grealish hasn’t got a true goalscoring striker infront of him on the pitch which he had at Villa. We’ll see how well he does next season when he has Alvarez and might well also have Haaland as strikers in the team, then he can be truly judged. It’s difficult enough to fit into a City team and learn the tactics… people love to write off City players, most of them have been called flops but actually weren’t. Players need a season to bed in. Lukaku and Sancho don’t get called flops as much as Grealish and they’ve been much worse.
100 Million and he’s never been the best player on the field even once. Simple as he’s a flop you can’t argue other wise
Hes a 100M player and is yet to put it a "world class" performance while Sancho has put some good performances multiple times this season. 100 should get you goals and assists every week
stats matter especially when ur 100 mil
I agree grealish isn’t a flop. But all the Chelsea fans disagree about Lukaku. He’s been a huge flop.
Lool are u silly lukaku and sancho have had the spot light on them more. Grealish season is literally going under the radar rn because he’s playing for city and they are top of the league. And everything u said that grealish does for u is basically saying that he does nothing
When you cost £100m and contribute very little, yes you have flopped in your debut campaign
They don't even use him
@@Homelander-compV Yes they do
@@Homelander-compV Cause he is an unnecessary signing kevin,foden, Bernardo Silva and several players can easily fill his position.
They should have went all out for a #9 instead of wasting money on him.
@@myteasgonecoldimwonderingw7110 He doesn't anything to the team and 90% of the his goal contributions are non impactful or the team were already leading by a 4+ goal margin.
@@Homelander-compV is that not more of a prove that he is a flop
He's not been bad, but for his price tag and with his reputation, he should be the best player in the league, so unless he's outstanding and out of this world he cannot justify his price tag
100 million for someone who dribbles into the box a lot seems excessive why not get saint-maximum if that's the case
Because (and I'm a Newcastle supporter) Saint-Maximin is shit, just like Grealish.
Pleaso do another video of ranking sacked managers part 2 please? I loved it
all ill say is for 100 mill you'd atleast want more goals and assists from a player...
Had a great game today, like all pep signings except Dias first season is slow but they always find their feet, gonna be a monster next season🇳🇴
If your paying 100 million you would want more he’s at his peak as well he’s not going to get any better
That's a rubbishs statement on not one, but two accounts. Not only do footballers often only reach their peak around 28-29, he also adapts to Pep's system and that will improve him as well.
@@mardel1607 100 million to bench warm 🤣
He'll definitely improve but he'll never live up to the 100 mil price tag. Rarely any player does at that price tag.
@@pembasherpa5267 Never is a bit jumping the proverbial gun isn't it mate, but I agree that he needs to go up a level and starts deciding games by himself. If he does this, especially in the CL, he is worth it imo
@@mardel1607 You're right, maybe he can. It's gonna take some serious improvement and impact on the team to live up to that price tag. I'll be surprised if he does cus i don't think he's better then mahrez or even sterling.
I swear FD always try to justify Grealish's price tag but nevermind ripping other players. They literally tried to liken his effect to Iniesta, time they play two different positions🤦🏿♂️😂
Yeah the Iniesta comparison is a step too far
English bias
Inieata played on the 'left' for barca and Spain quite regularly. Also they aren't comparing them as players, just using iniesta to prove the point that just looking at g/a stats is stupid
@@samuelloification2749 we don’t even have to look at stats, we watch games with our eyes and grealish has been bad. there’s not a single game he has had a huge impact on
@@marcelohendrix6139 who's we? Also I never said he was any good 👍
I’m a City fan and i see no impact from Grealish . Rodri having more goal involvement will never be justified . It’s just disappointing . £100 Million is too much to do a deep investigation on his impact it has to be evident . Look at Jota and Luis Diaz
You sure you aren't a Liverpool fan? You sound like one
Sorry mate, we Villians have a strict no returns Policy in place 🤣🤣
@@complexptsdsurvivor 😭😭😭Pains my heart
“I’m a City fan”
Since when Mtatambi? 😂😂😂😂
@@DeejayVillain what do you mean ?
His English passport is really saving him from being called a flop
Bernardo was labeled flop
Mahrez was labeled flop
Rodri was labeled flop
Cancelo was labeled flop
...
Rodri and cancelo made FD’s worst transfer of the season XI now they will both make the team of the season XI
He expect better from him. As he cost 100m we expect him to better his stats and do more than getting fouled.
my fellow Chelsea fan. I see u on our channels.
Our boy mount has 30G/A. But Grealish at his best is hoping for 9G/A .
@@akachiedoggy5711 its actually 20G/A not 30
@@Naveenkumar-xy9qp Nah..... Google it.
He was on 25 before the s'hampton & Madrid game.
Grealish stood out at Aston Villa like a diamond mixed in with a bunch of grains of sand. At City, he's a diamond mixed in with a bunch of other diamonds. He's still as good as he ever was but he blends into the whole a lot more now.
my point exactly 👍
Bang on
Which is exactly why they didn't need to spend 100 mil imo. He's not bad but they didn't need him. But i guess 100 mil isn't breaking their bank so it doesn't really matter
@@marcoverratti6269 but all there other players or diamonds are also world class. And to get world class attackers you have to pay that sort of money. Foden would be worth that, Sterling and Mahrez were really as expensive as grealish at the time of their transfer fees. So if you’re saying grealish isn’t worth 100m because he’s just another diamond but not a superstar best player in the world, diamonds still cost 100million. If you’re saying city didn’t need another attacker and pay 100 million then clearly pep disagrees with you
@@marcoverratti6269 when you compete for everything you need a deep squad with a bench that don't impact the starting 11 too much when changes are made. They do well keeping these big players happy even when they aren't starting. As a United fan I'm pretty jealous tbf 😂😂😂
I love people saying "if you don't consider his 100M price tag..."
I think maybe we should consider his ONE-HUNDRED MILLION price tag, don't you?
Im not 100% sure but it seemed to me like big money signings nvr succeed, just can't think of any examples
I love fd but this is the most hipster video. Pulling up stats no one’s heard of to justify why a £100mil forward has less goal contributions than their cb
Grealish and Sancho make pepe at arsenal look like a good buy
He's not the main player in the team anymore by this I mean City don't look to pass to him every time like at Villa and he also doesn't get as much game time. I think there's room for improvement but I think we will see more from him next season and onwards. The price tag has nothing to do with the player that's up to the clubs involved but as I said I think he will start to show his worth from next season.
don't seem to be living up to the price tag:
Felix, Grealish, Lukaku, Pogba, Hazard, Ronaldo, Maguire, Sancho, Kepa, Pepe, Lacazette, Wan-Bissaka, Martial.
Big money transfers that worked well:
van Dijk, De Bruyne, Alisson, Walker, Bernardo Silva.
He spends a lot of the time rolling on the pitch, the price tag is affecting his performance. Underwhelming signing for city.
Hes a 100 million pound squad player how is he not a flop
The English PR is so strong. Would the same video have been made if he was a foreigner? It’s the issue we have with you lot refusing to criticise Maguire so now the fans have to do your jobs
i wouldnt judge grealish so far as he hasnt been outstanding so far, he still has had big impacts in games but just lacks the finals product. I think we can only really judge him on his second season at city as most new signings for city havent really done well in their first season (stones, mahrez, cancelo, ake and even bernardo silva) and thats because the system is so different from what hes used to. But Grealish has recently started improving by doing what hes best at, which is running at defences and making them work whereas earlier on he used to dribble and pass back. I think its only fair to see him next season as it would be his second season and hed also have a target man in haaland.
Jack Grealish signature move: receiving the ball from the left flank > slowly push towards the defender so that other defenders can chase back to cover (at the same time slow down the rythm in City's attack) > see that cannot get pass the defence line then pass back to the midfielder and make a clueless run further up with which no one can deliver the ball to him except in video game > again
You forgot to add 'flirt with the midfielder' in the middle somewhere👌
obviously when you factor in the price tag he doesn't live up to it regardless of whether you want to call it a inflated market or something like that, let's be honest he went from being club captain and key player to a player that comes off the bench say what you want about a grace period for him to adjust but for 100+ million (when you factor in signing on fees and agent fees) is that really money well spent when in reality they've needed a striker more than another winger
First season... remember how stones was and mahrez when they first joined?
I don't know costs or what is expected, but I would want him on my pick side if I ever chose one. Jyst think his a pace changer kind of creative
Even though we mugged City out of 100m I still wish we had him at Villa.
tactically last season Pep's setup hugely relied for goals on the no. 10 (usually De Bruyne) and no. 9 (usually Jesus) that's the reason why De Bruyne has the most assist last season compared to other city players
I don’t believe you can judge players on stats either but it depends what kind of player you are for example Keane and Scholes controlled the game but the g/a stats aren’t great but Grealish doesn’t control the game ever and Keane and specifically Scholes was involved in the goals in some way just not the final pass
As a Villa of course I was gutted when he moved, He did deserve it the way he was playing, But in all honestly he looked elite in the villa side because we dont have the names like Man city, Now looking at him in the Man city squad he really has flopped and best thing for him to do would be to move back to Villa where I think he would Once again play his best for the club he supports himself.
Let him be ffs. It's just his first season . His style of play is completely different to what pep plays him . He was showing signs of development in the last few matches . Watch out for him next season with Haaland and Alvarez 🔥
He has been a flop as of yet imho. However, he is played on the left wing most of the time, which isn't his natural position. Bernardo struggles on the right wing as well, but he is brilliant in midfield. Jack will probably do a lot better in KDB's role. It just seems like the weirdest signing ever since we never spent over 65 million on a player and are stacked with attackers.
Brudda he has played LW for the last 3-4 seasons at villa
@@williambarratt8638 I didn't explain well then. He played in a deeper role at Villa.
@@williambarratt8638 nah 2 seasons, he played cm at the start of Villa's first prem season and when they were in the championship
@@williambarratt8638 he didnt
I would love to see grealish first season compared to mahrez first season with us.
Tell me a game where he’s been best on the park… you can’t simple as
He used to take games by the scruff of the neck at Villa and was unplayable at times. I haven't seen him do that once this season for City.
Simple answer with no bias : Yes he has flopped
Even with all these positive stats why does the eye test seem so different? Why does it feel like he just drives with the ball just to turn and pass it back
that irish part hit different lmaoo
I swear
not really a flop more like what beckham was for united with it comes to appearance. heck of a player his second season i can see jack going off tbh
Donald Duck plz don't mention grealish and beckham in the same sentence.Thats disrespect to david and u know that.
Hasn’t been terrible, but they just didn’t need him and certainly need him for 100 mil.
There’s countless of players, younger and cheaper who could be doing the same stuff
its no marketing. the price was a lil blown but when pep wants something he gets it, the prices are only going up now if u are a promised help on the field. forget about the price tag. he has proven himself in that league and knows how to play there that is why he is bought.
I like Jack, I think he’s a brilliant player but unlike how it was like at Villa he isn’t the main man and he just needs to be played more to adapt to how the team plays.
I'm not qualified to judge his performance but watching him play sure makes me miss Leroy Sane..
You knew it was going to be a long season for Grealish when Japhet Tanganga, Tottenham's 5th CD and 3rd RFB, ate him up alive during the first game of the season.
Need a Sancho video too
Peps system at city is complicated it's going to take time for an airhead like Grealish to get it, bless him.
It’s the price tag and attention over him and the deal that I think moves this into overpaid territory
Compare reece james and Trent next please
Sancho did score against big 6 teams in Premier League while Grealish failed to score against any of the big 6 teams in the league despite he scored a comeback goal against Liverpool in FA Cup semi
Grealish has quality. No signing City has had under Pep performed immediately in their first season. He will be there at some point. Although, I don't think his position as a squad player at the moment warrants that $100m price tag. He is definitely not a flop if you ignore that though.
Kulusevski cost £35m with 9 goal contributions in 9 and is younger. With the english Tax Grealish is a massive flop yes.
That's true but he was cheap at Juventus because he was poor there and they wanted rid of him. Transfer fees are largely dictated by whether the selling club wants to sell. Not how good someone is
Lets see how these two signings unfold over the coming years.
All these stats you're making to put Grealish in a good light, you'd do better to show the same stats of the EDS players to show how the outperform him when given the opportunity. Even before he's not been at the level of current senior and EDS players. $100 Ms thrown away
Mahrez’s first season was also less than expected. I going to wait until year 2
Mahrez wasnt a then club highest signing in 2018, bc kdb came before for 70mio
Grealish is a gem of a player period dont need to score to be decisive.
Follow up question - Do they need to play to be decisive?
Well ex stats say he had a better season than he actually has, that’s the main thing
Yes, and he was no way worth the amount of money, in fact no player should be on the wages they get it's a joke
I think we have more reasons why he's not a flop than he is at the moment .Price tag makes it look bad but trust me next season when he's performing, the same English media won't take back their words..They did it to Mahrez and Rodri
He's been a flop judged on this season's performance in relation to his price tag. I believe he'll come good just like mahrez did. Same goes for sancho at utd.
@@pembasherpa5267 Fair.... And Mahrez and Rodri are why I believe the second season will be better. But also, price tag aside, do you think Grealish was actually bought to be a starter?
Yes, i thought city were planning to sell sterling and getting him as his replacement.
He just needs to improve his off the ball movement like sterling and mahrez on the wing in order to contribute to more goals and assist.
that fact that all the comment section judge him by his G+A ratio gutted me. He is brilliant evertyime he play and contributed a lot for the team. Thats a fact
Omg this is a sin, u can't ever compare with someone like Iniesta, grealish has a long way to go
City surely knew this would happend, from main player on a worse team to triple crown worthy team
depends on the idea, cause stat-wise he is still producing elite numbers, it's just he is playing in a city side where you don't regularly start, i think he maybe used as a long term replacement for and outgoing player in the future but it was definitely an overpay.
Always thought he was overrated at Villa, he was an above average player in an average team and it was trendy to like him. The numbers you've used to defend him just get supercharged by Pep's system. Grealish is nothing special. £40m at most. And it's not like he's young either.
So wht you are saying is the better figures he produce are due to pep's system and the worse ones are his fault.
@@michaelscott107 No, what I'm saying is that certain systems can supercharge specific elements of a players game such as progressive carries and carries into the box for a team that pens opponents in. However at no point did I blame him for any poor numbers, not sure where you've got that from. But since you have mention his poorer numbers, yes his goal contributions have dropped, and yes that does come from being the standout in an average team to then being imo a below average part of a great team. As well as this his end product has been quite poor. In a team where chances come regularly, there must be something he is lacking, between positional play or end product. Yes this is a bit of an essay but you assumed the incorrect information.
So u compared grealish a lw to iniesta a cm who played fairly deep wtf and city spent 105 mill on someone who progresses the ball pretty embarrassing
The mental gymnastics some people are doing to try to justify his 100 millions pound's price...
He's 1 of the most expensive players in the world yet has fewer goals and assists than Ruben Dias, a center backs. He's not a garanteed starter nor has been particularly important for Man City.
So yes he has been a flop due to his price tag. weren't he English, the press would be against him and already call him to be sold by city.
FD will do anything to protect English players and bash other leauges players and clubs outside England
I said it in a comment reply but just so everyone knows, Villa has a strict no returns Policy, Grealish is in our rear view now.
Good so you’ll be staying midtable then
He’s good but he ain’t worth 100m massive overinflation because he plays for England
Yes his a flop
Ebvita rumor has it man city might sell grealish during the summer.With the arrival of halland how much impact can people really expect from grealish? Man City has to try and recoup some of that money they spent to get him and that was a pep guardiola call so he has to make amends bcuz right now it's a waste of money for a player who has no impact
and pep knows this.
His been brilliant for City, just no numbers.👍
Jack needs to have more of the ball where the team rely on him to create chances for the team and for himself. He's simply not allowed te required amount of time on the ball at City as he was allowed at Villa. The truth is that Man City don't need Jack because they have so many players that can score goals and create chances. He's seeing less of the ball, and the team are not creating chances for him so I think he needs to leave city and go to a team where he'll be the main man in regards to creating chances. Greallish would be better at a team such as Tottenham. Newcastle, Chelsea and even Arsenal. Man City are so quick in transition that everything that Jack does is rushed and that's not his game. He needs to be allowed to go on those mazy runs with the ball so he can draw defenders towards him which creates space enough for him to create something. Jack clearly is not happy at Man City, he's trying to put on a brave face but I just know that he's so restricted and that Pep is not hte manager for him. Make no mistake, Pep goes to big clubs that have the most buying power and then he gets the best players to fit into his tika taka style. Jack Grealish is never going to fit into a quick pass and move tika taka style.
Progressive carries stat is so funny how many times has grealish skipped towards the edge of the box and then turned and passed it backwards. He's been very mediocre and a flop as of right now don't justify it just because he is English
He is a huge Flop....
no doubts.....no discussion.
He was better at villa because he was the best player but at city they have better players than him like KDB
UTV come on Jack..
bcs he's english and have a 100m price tag, of course ppl will expect him to play immediately like prime messi, smh these ppl need to calm down. im pretty sure he was supposed to be bernardo replacement as the rumor last season looks like he's going to leave, so i think they bought him for that, and also for marketing purposes. give him time, the guy didn't ask to be priced at 100m. instead of flop, i would rather call him underperforming.
The price tag isn't his fault but it's fair to call him a flop for this season in relation to the price tag. I believe he'll improve. Same goes for sancho.
Yes he is a flop, due to the media overrating him, his high price tag
Grealish is at most worth 20-50 million, but due to him being English he gets a higher value simply die to his nationality
Grealish has not in anyway been worth 100 million, for that price City could have tried to get Haaland, Mbappe or some other great young prospect in the world
Grealish is a good player, but at the roles he plays City does already have Sterling, Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo Silva all of which are better then Grealish
not because he is english he is expensive but he was vital to AVFC and when you say someone else is overpriced like Rice he is also vital to his team but also you can say the same thing about pedri having a release clause of 1 billion because he is very important so is it really the english?
Yes
Man City: Probably the only club in football history that can afford a 100 million pound bench player. Crazy what money has done to football tbh.
He is defo not a flop he is getting better day by day and he is the second player in the prem that has created most chances behind kdb.
Let him play behind erling and alvarez next season im sure he is gonna be fire next season.🔥💙
City 1894 getting better? Explain to me and every1 how getting better watching from the bench during the last 3 most important matches of the season?Ill wait
With a cost £100 million and broke English transfer records I believe he shud av done more than 4 goals and assists....i guarantee if it was another player the media/pundit wud ripped into that guy eg. Lukaku, werner...But as i always pundit gets pain to talk
Grealish hasn't downgraded he's just playing in a more competitive team. it's his first season at least wait for the second season to give the verdict
Not a flop for alcool corporations!!! The greatest alcoholic of England 120 millions for 3 goals!!!
This season he will show his worth.... he can't do much if pep don't play him 🖖 Get back home Jack UTV
This man just compared AI8 to Jackie boy, one is a winger the other a 8, come on now. Y’all trying anything to save your most expensive players image. I can hear the rebuttal “yeah but he’s in the prem” where every argument finds its way to
Ppl need to remember of course he's not worth 100 mill city know that they just paid that because he has a release clause
Tbf he was good against Liverpool on Sunday
Not sure why city even paid 100 m for him when grealish was clearly not needed by man city. They should have signed a striker instead.
Pep is a weird man. When they bought Mahrez, I laughed as he sat on the bench for most of the time. And when he came good, let's just say there were people(City fans) were there to give me what my fair dues so I'm not about to do the same to "Super" Jack.... FOR NOW 😂
