The most expensive bird in the Premier League admits to Sky Sports that there has been no honeymoon.
“I’ve done okay for the time being,” it sounds modest after his first 5 months in paid employment at Manchester City. “But I can give this club so much more.”
“It’s been a lot harder than I thought. I’m still learning and I’m adapting.”
“I was told that some took a year to settle in. Maybe that goes for me too.”
“It’s crazy because the standards are so high on and off the pitch. That also explains why City have been so successful in recent years.”
Especially a period of drought and poor statistics gnaws at Grealish. “Then people wonder if you are worth that amount. Where are his goals and assists?”
“I understand that, but I have to consider it a privilege that the club wanted to put that amount on the table. I hope I can repay City with goals and prizes.”
