Bellerin isnāt as good looking or talented as Grealish though.
Who is Bellerin sponsored by? H&M? Thereās levels to this game son.
And itās great to see Ornstein continue to bring us the football exclusives we so desperately crave. Fucker has gone from elite source to Tesco value brown sauce.

Excl: Jack Grealish on verge of agreeing major sponsorship contract with Gucci. 26yo Man City + England midfielder set to sign 7-figure deal & become ambassador for Italian brand - thought to be unprecedented among sportspeople@TheAthleticUK#MCFC#ENGtheathletic.com/3227050/2022/0ā¦
Not to be outdone, Harry Kane has signed a Ā£150 cash deal to be the new face of this trophy shop.
It fits his profile perfectly because Itās empty, just like his trophy cabinet and is about as good looking. 
was he ever?
Not once I saw him break the news. He was convenient confirmation after 100 journalist stacked their reputation.

Am I the only one to think Grealish struggles to justify the hype before his move and his transfer fee?
He was good today.

He was excellent today and a lovely footballer to watch.
Likely League champion first season. Rip it up next season for sure.

Yeah, this is still my feeling. With City you actually can look beyond the transfer fee, because money basically is unlimited. If theyād signed him for Ā£50m and he had limited impact I suspect everyone would be more chill about him bedding in for a season, but at Ā£100m itās a lot harder to not expect more from him right out the gate, for obvious and understandable reasons. But City actually can spend that much to secure him as a long term investment, with the quality and numbers they have in midfield/attack he really doesnāt have to have a tangible impact in his first season.
All of this is based on the assumption that he will perform better and be a more integral player next season, but I think he will.
I guess more than anything Iām saying that itās too soon to evaluate his transfer to Man City and that you can probably only start to do that in about a yearās time.

They didnāt necessarily need to bring him in as they have similar players and the fee was far too much but heāll be a very good player for them eventually.
He is a good age profile and versatile, heāll become a better player under Pep. Difficult season for him but quite a few excellent players donāt hit the ground running at City only to become top players later.
Very good game and he killed Coufal all game long

He hasnt been that bad either. Had some good games but he is being judged on the fee alone. Pep is an education and with his skill level it can only go one way.

I think he would do better somewhere he is more focal and gets more minutesā¦ he is brave and fun to watch. The fee was insane, but that is the EPL with City and ManUā¦ Iād be happy with him on AFC, but we never had a chance with City sniffing.
Biggest thing with him is the productivity, he isnāt a finisher but he should be getting better numbers
A lot of misses in front of goal, needs to be more clinical but yeah fee is the biggest story for some
72m is enough of a reason for some to bash our players so donāt see why a different standard would apply here. 100m is hit the ground running money whatever Cityās model.

What different standard, no one is saying he has justified the fee or has been good enough really
Difference is he wonāt be a bust like your boy Pepe

Can only speak for myself, but I made excuses for Pepe for a lot longer than Iām saying I would for Grealish. At this stage Pepe is a certified failed transfer, you canāt say that for Grealish, and thatās without applying a different standard.
