Manchester City confirm signing of Jack Grealish

The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) midfield pool at Manchester City has been swollen further by the signing of Jack Grealish (£8.0m) from Aston Villa.

The England international has joined the reigning champions on a six-year deal, with a transfer fee of £100m being reported.

The player said upon his move:

I am incredibly happy to have joined Manchester City. City are the best team in the country with a manager considered to be the best in the world – it’s a dream come true to be part of this club.

Over the past 10 seasons, they have won major trophies consistently. Pep coming here has taken them to the next level and the football this team plays is the most exciting in Europe. To play for Pep and learn from him is going to be special and it’s something any top footballer would want.

The facilities are amazing, and I honestly can’t wait to get started, meet everyone and get playing.

City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, added:

We are absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Jack Grealish to Manchester City. He is an incredible talent.

Jack’s development over the past few seasons both for club and country has been plain for everybody to see. His natural talent together with his commitment to improve as a player, has seen him become one of the most exciting attacking players in world football today.

I am certain that the fans are going to love seeing him in our team. Pep loves the way he plays, and we all feel he is an ideal fit for Manchester City. Our style and his style are a perfect match. I’m excited to watch him over the coming years.

Grealish predominantly played on the left side of attack in a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 at Villa, although was occasionally deployed deeper in the central midfield trio.

Capable of also operating as a number 10, his move to City does beg the question over who will make way to accommodate him.

Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) and Phil Foden (£8.0m) were both used heavily down the left flank in 2020/21, while Ilkay Gundogan (£7.5m) had the stronghold over the left-side central midfield spot.

Only two midfielders created more chances (CC, below) than Grealish in the Premier League last season, while new teammate Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m) was the only one who could beat his minutes-per-CC average of 27.

We’ll have more in-depth analysis on Grealish’s move in a Moving Target piece tomorrow.

    Good to see Pep expert coaching developing local talent again. If in doubt as players not good enough for him, go out and get yet another 50 to 100m to double/tripple up in every position. Elite coach, you are joking.

      He's not a coach, he's a manager? I'm no citeh fan and pep has a lot to answer for from an fpl perspective, but to be fair, he's an architect of the modern game.

          It is. I used to be on here loads but now I pretty much only come in to use the stats and check on injuries and I do better for it on the whole.

          I rarely venture on to twitter

          To be honest I hate the way social media has gone in general. It is all so sycophantic, toxic or aggressive in general and I am sure FPL twitter is much the same as everything else

          Theres nothing wrong with listening to a podcast or two, there are good things to listen to but I'd never ever let someone else decide my team or even a player pick, for me. It's a game for enjoyment at the end of the day and the only way to get true satisfaction is by making your own decisions every single time.

          Each to their own but I can never understand why people pay for FPL advice and why people think an 'FPL expert' is even a thing.

            For me reading or listening too much just tends to seep into your subconscious and changes your ways of thinking rightly or wrongly. It is very easy to get swept up in other peoples ways of thinking

            Maybe I am suggestable!

              True but as I said, only one or two pods, maybe listening while cooking or something, isn't so bad. FPL is a pretty fun hobby at the end of the day. In the last couple years I've taken FPL seriously though, I've never found myself being swayed into a decision because of something I heard on a podcast, etc.

                I agree. It's what suits you at the end of the day to make the hobby enjoyable at the end of the day. That's just how it is for me

                  At least then if a decision goes badly, I won’t get worked up about it. If I listened to someone else over my own gut instinct and my gut decision turned out to be the right one, I’d be kicking myself.

      Tbh the experts aren't the annoying people, the people lining up to hang on their every word and then complain if something goes wrong are the weird ones to me. The whole point of this game is to back yourself and your own thoughts and try to beat other players, not just blindly follow listen and copy others

    I guess, with the Grealish signing and Messi available at the cost of his wages, City will be happy to stop going after Kane and make a play for Messi? Messi will cost half of Kane, and City will be unlikely to recover much of the transfer fee for Kane if they have to trade him in 4-5 years.

      It could leave the Kane situation in an interesting position. Realistically if City have a chance at signing Messi, Levy will know that they won't be increasing their offer for Kane, and no-one else realistically will come knocking with the money he's looking for. So unless he really wants to keep Kane (which I doubt is the case), he's going to have to deal with things staying as they are.
