In a discussion with some fellow Chelsea writers, we pondered why the narrative over Romelu Lukaku's £100m transfer to Stamford Bridge has been framed so negatively compared to Jack Grealish who by expectation, and had a pretty quiet season.
Lukaku was deemed an abject failure whilst Grealish's struggles were written off as merely growing pains, adapting to life under Pep Guardiola.
Of course, Grealish did not antagonise City fans doing a mid-season interview sharing his love for Aston Villa, but the different perspective does in some way reflect how far apart both clubs are in the Premier League.
