    Mind blowing amount of money to spend on a player with his abilities.. He's a decent player, but 100 million......Never ever ever. He found out very quick where he was once he arrived at City....nothing more than an expensive squad player

    He has built his game around drawing fouls. It is dull & tedious.
    A lad of his size & skill should be able to ride tackles better, stay on his feet and score/assist a lot more than he does….. like his team mates at City.

    Big fish at villa and could do what he wanted. He was the most skilful in an average (at best) side, Pep wants him to move the ball quickly so City doesn’t suit his game. As for how much he cost, average footballers are now costing a fortune so it’s ‘eye of the beholder “ really. Stupid but sadly true

    If the report has any substance in it then so be it.

    I don’t know any City fans that weren’t stunned and cautious about the fee for him which was also at odds with the usual practice of buying somebody at half the price and developing them.

    I watch him week and week out and know he’s had more than enough game time to establish himself and make the left wing spot his own. No disrespect to Villa but Grealish hasn’t adapted to often playing teams with 10 men behind the ball and too often runs down dead ends. Dare I say he is certainly a skilful player but there are other less skilful players that read the game far better and therefore contribute more.

    I do think he’ll play well for England in this ****ty World Cup and after that if he wants to move on then good luck to him.

    Easy to link every player with Newcastle now. Reporter once said on talkSPORT that he just links as many players to clubs and hopes one actually comes off.

    Finlay on BBC News over the moon Grealish remembered his agreement to do his dance if he scored. Very touching to see.
