Manchester City star Jack Grealish has shown why Pep Guardiola rates him so highly but has ultimately had one good season out of three
The wind at Selhurst Park was so ferocious on a sunny April afternoon that it was sending Jack Grealish 's hair left, right and backwards but that wasn't going to stop him making his point.
The problem is that what followed on from Palace suggested that City's tactics worked better without him central to the plan. He started four of the next six games to be fair, including both legs of the Champions League quarter with Real Madrid and the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Such a record is not great investment for the club's most expensive player, particularly when that club prides itself on getting value for money in the transfer market. Grealish was exceptional at the start of 2023 for several months to power the team to the Treble, but in a squad of winners where you have to prove yourself every week he is in danger of being left behind.
Grealish can of course do nothing about his fee, yet it does frame the lens through which his move from Villa is viewed. Three good seasons out of five is far better value than one in three, but to get there Grealish needs to get back to where he was in those months before the Treble. “I liked many things we saw, that’s why we tried, especially Txiki, Txiki was completely in love with him so that’s why we decided to try."
