I know that we don't know all that goes on, but from the outside, thats exactly where his head is at and then he goes off on the pop and the circle continues.

Some of this about him being out on the pop is just media talk, though. Take a look at this headline from the Daily Mail a few weeks ago:

Jack Grealish is the LAST to leave Kevin De Bruyne's farewell party in 1.35am exit


Then, a few paragraphs down, you read:

And De Bruyne made the most of his Wednesday night out, staying with his wife Michele Lacroix until about 1.30am.


So, basically, Grealish left 5 minutes after De Bruyne, which can easily be accounted for by nipping to the loo, putting on your jacket, and saying a couple of quick thankyous and goodbyes. Also, when you look at the outfits in pictures of people leaving and arriving, although it's not conclusive, it looks like Pep is standing next to the entrance as De Bruyne is coming out (very specific cream combat-joggers with a really long drawstring). Also, from video footage, Stones, Nunes and Haaland all leave between the two. But the Mail (and other media) decided to blow this into a headline story. I'm not saying he hasn't brought it on himself, but this is simply negative press for the sake of titillation.

I was chuffed when he arrived. I’ve seen one or two performances in the last 18 months. Like a few others his levels are nowhere near where we need or he is capable of.

Reasons. I think he’s a gem of a lad. Ideally he would say to himself. I want to return my best here. I can’t see it tbh .

It’s a mystery the player and the club should have sorted months ago. It’s a shame.

He's either left out of the squad because Pep wants him to recharge his batteries and get himself sorted for the new season or Pep doesn't see him as part of his plans.
Personally I think it's the latter He had a decent treble season but he never fulfilled his true potential glued to the wing. Goal tally woefully short and his crosses often missed the target. Pep intransigence might have contributed but a serious sportsman does not get wasted like he does. Shades of Gascoigne and Best but nowhere near their talent. Stan Bowles without the goals.
Lovely fella, pretty low intelligence, hope he gets a club to show his talents. Bit of a luxury for any club unless he bangs in some goals or creates more. Being adept at drawing a foul ain't football for me. I'd rather he beat a man and do something with it. I 've like him best when he has played more centrally, I thought he could do well in midfield but the transfer window has scuppered that plan

The question "what would you do" - now that's the real question.

Me personally, I'd smother him in baby oil and force him to train with his shirt off.

I wouldn't swap him for the world, personally.

I respect that. Sadly he appears to have no future here.
