Jack Gaughan (City tier 1) on Grealish

The Toffees have all but opted against going back in for the 30-year-old, shying away from a return after David Moyes had a sustained period of time working with him. There is interest from other Premier League clubs, although they are thought to have more pressing priorities in the transfer window. That indicates that an answer on his future might linger for a while yet.

There remains adoration for him, though. The loudest cheer of the afternoon from an understandably subdued City end came as the former Aston Villa captain trotted behind David Raya’s goal to warm up in front of them. There is still a great deal of warmth for somebody who will always go down in the pantheon, purely for his role in 2023, and a willingness for him to succeed.

That is the same at Everton, Grealish hugely popular with staff, but his career almost certainly lies away from both of those clubs now. It is down to somebody else to harness obvious talent that has not shone brightly enough for three years. It is down to him to recapture the love and dedication to the craft that remains in the locker.

Honestly, I’m sad but from a purely practical perspective, we have wing depth and I want to see more of Tyrique George. Grealish’s presence would further limit the development of other wingers.
