He has played wide but he's spent this season playing off the striker. Scored a hattrick yesterday for Iceland.

Plays for Dragusins old team.


I have been watching a bit of the international highlights this morning and it’s really hard to gauge a player’s ability in it because the standard is so shit. Even in Portugal v Sweden the swedes look awful being cut open time and again the same way.

Saying that, if he is the regen of Andrei Sigporsson from CM3 then I’m on board!
 
Please. He only has more output because Grealish has been given the mandate of being a safe player in possession under Pep.

Grealish lost possession 29 times last season in the league. In an entire season. Kulusevski has already lost it 48 times.

Grealish also draws a lot more fouls.

Surely nobody is saying kulusevski is better than Grealish? He isn’t. Grealish is a great player turned into a guardiola system robot. He is really a 10 like Maddison. That’s his natural position. Not that we’ll sign him but we should have 6 years ago.

Yeah, don't like judging players on international performances either.

Stats seem to be holding up for Genoa though. Djed Spence is there now, so may look to watch a few of their games from here on out to see what he's like
 
Often when Pep let's player go it because of some (very) "good" reasons...

When Manchester City are suddenly really concerned about FFP…….

29 years old this year... 300k a week... 😂😂😂

Fuck knows who's dumb enough to buy Grealish. But it won't be us. Unless he really has decided he's got nothing else to win and just takes a huge pay cut somewhere just to get games.

I didn't mind Gareth's year with us.
Ain't gonna happen but I would absolutely love seeing Jack play for Sours.
 
Can play #6 or #8. When I watched him, he looked like an Ange CM to me.
 
KDH was promising at the start of 2022, got end product and runs a bit, but it would be kind of concerning to have two midfielders from a relegated team.

the fouls thing is irrelevant - Grealish plays for them Kulu chooses to stay on his feet

Erm no it isn't because it's a key part of his remit at City as Pep wants to slow the game down. Players who are harder to get the ball off also get fouled more (e.g Hazard) because they're better dribblers. Grealish is a better dribbler than Kulusevski.

I'm not sure either are really the apex player for Ange wideforward. We need to move very carefully with how we refine this team. I hope to goodness Paratici is on this.

He is definitely a better dribbler, but he also falls over at the slightest of touches which he did for Villa too. Definitely part of his game and I'm sure an important one for Pep but it's not something i see many other City players doing when I watch them.

To be clear, I do not want us to sign Jack Grealish. Injuries have disrupted him badly lately, some of the off-field stuff is slightly worrying, and his age/wage profile makes him a no go anyway. And I agree, I don't think he's want Ange wants from a wide player.
