Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[algy]

One thing that did strike me as a bit sad was when Dougie and Ty came on against Freiburg, it was like we’d had every player on the pitch who’d made a significant impact in getting us there, even Tammy on the bench. Except for Jack (and Deano).

I’m a sentimental fool, I know that, but it would’ve been nice if Jack was there too. I’d have him back. One season, on loan, let’s get you a medal that actually means something whilst you’re still good enough to justify being in the team.

I don’t buy the stuff about him not being able to sit through Emery’s seminars. I reckon he’s a great player who needs a manager who’ll make him the best version of Jack Grealish he can be. Suspect he’d thrive in that kind of environment.

Anyway, that’s what I say. I’ll never understand why he left, as someone else wrote he swapped being a legend for cash & trinkets. But whatever his faults, he’s a nice lad and he belongs here.

He's scored 6 goals in 3 years. He's finished.

This man knows his football and watches football with his heart

Grealish would be the wrong move - we've really kicked on since he left (obviously not because he left) - I just feel that these things when players go back never work too well.

Except for Sid Cowans and Steve Staunton

But you would have Rashford in a heartbeat   

[Londonvilla]

He's scored 6 goals in 3 years. He's finished.

Last three seasons, Jack Grealish has scored 8 goals and provided 19 assists across all competitions

Are you sure he is finished

I'd take hom back in a heart beat.

[Steve67]

Replacement for Barkley? I reckon Grealish would be up for it and would enjoy being back at the club. However, not at the expense of someone up and coming, perhaps brought in from somewhere else.

Why does he belong here? Just because he's a fan? Does that apply to anyone who once played here as a fan?

Lee Hendrie to play behind Ollie against PSG.

Im the most sentimental person I know - but Grealish made his choice.  At the time we said (at length) about what  that choice meant and its worked out exactly as we all thought it would. 

Deano got to watch it with his son and enjoy it knowing he played a part in getting where it was.  If Grealish didnt feel the same then thats on him.

Yes.

Plus he's always injured and is an alcoholic.

And will want stupid money.

And is a knob.

It's a no from me.

[PaulWinch again]

For me it’s not really about his previous choices, it’s purely about whether he’s useful to us now and offers value. I genuinely don’t know the answer to that, but that’s the only real question.

[PeterWithesShin]

If he hadn't played well for us 5 years ago no one would be talking about wanting him here. He's not the player that left, he hasn't played more than 20 league games in a season for 4 seasons. He's at an age where even if was highly professional decline would be starting, and he isn't highly professional.

If we had to re-sign a former player I would prefer it to be Jacob Ramsey.

This with bells on. Ramsey > Grealish
