He was clearly a fantastic player when he joined and awesome in the treble season. Maybe not the mythical output that it’s become since, but very big part. Since then he’s clearly not shown Pep he wants to work hard all year round and it’s cost him.
Also a top guy with a heart of gold, no ill will at all.
I actually think pep fucked up his game to a huge degree as Pep’s methodology doesn’t suit a freewheeling, expressive player like Grealish. - you should never sign a player like Grealish if you’re going to stop him expressing himself - if he had just carried playing for us the way he played at Villa then we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
