God this is as awkward as shagging some bird when you know their creepy husband is watching in the background

Don't have to. All my social media and search history algorithms mean that I am bombarded with suggested jack content whether I like it or not . A very interesting part of the athletic article was that villa were actively trying to sound out clubs other than man city because they are concerned about the monopoly that they are creating over the rest of the league

Me neither

Looks rapid in the training vids

Right could one of you young uns explain to me this ratio stuff. Seen it used all over Twitter, as a noun, a verb and everything in between and I'm too old to understand it or where it came from

no but this place is like bloody betelgeuse or candyman. say his name enough times and an article will appear in the birminghammail

Some vague links to Joaquin Correa in italian papers. Dont know much about him but is Argentinian so i'd be up for it!

i suspect a fully fit Sanson will be ahead of him in the pecking order. Like McGinn, if Luiz isnt on his game he can be hard to watch. Problem is neither have the natural physicality to compensate if they are having a poor game

hope he shaves his Jack Grealish tribute hair now

is it even possible to arrange an alternative team at such short notice or do you think it will be played at a later date if we do get an alternative?

more than anyone, I hope he benefits from the new set piece coach this year. He is a monster in hi sown box but doesnt score enough for me compared to ole slabhead at utd for instance. Adding a few more goals or even headed assists this year would certainly help us.

feel theres a bit of direspect on Bertie's name in these discussions about forward options. I reckon he will be better this year and he has all the potential to be brilliant for us. Yes he's mad as a box of frogs but most of the highlights of last season came from Bertie and i honestly believe that Jack leaving will spread the play a bit more, allow us to flow a bit more and maybe allow other players to express themselves better. I'm all on team Bertie and would take him over Cantwell who I frankly dont get the hype around

suits the colours doesnt he? sometimes it just looks right. and this signing just looks right!

after all the horror of the last ten years, what a dumb time to leave the club

This, there were some games, especially towards the end of the season where I thought Ollie looked slightly less sharp in the last half hour. Problem solved

first name i looked for. Needed to know how he develops his physique, then make sure i do the opposite

just to play devils advocate we havent actually heard anything directly from the club or the player so to put words, feelings, emotions, motivations, conversations on any of the parties involved is slightly unfair. for all we know the club are delighted to be getting £100,000,000 for a player and are the ones pushing this. not at all saying this is the case but not until the dust settles and maybe a bit down the line when info leaks out will we know the truth

Harry Kane looked anything but lite ambling about the pitch in the Euros

My wee girl misheard me saying "Super Jack" as "Poopy Jack". Obviously the more I tried to correct her the more hilarious she found it to keep calling him Poopy Jack to annoy me. I will now forever call him Poopy Jack after he moves to City

biggest transfer in UK history so bound to have a few wrinkles. especially as villa hold the cards and can effectively delay it to suit them and their agenda

the interview that the Southampton manager (bottled spelling it - sorry) gave after the game last night, when asked about the Ings transfer, made it sound like they could really do with the money to strengthen the squad as a whole and that selling players for more than they cost was their basic business model

Just do whatever it was that West Ham did to him at Villa Park last season because that was the least effective game ive seen Jack play ( i know he got an assist but it was in garbage time)

i remember during the euros, Mings was doing a presser and someone asked a question about Jack. He looked kinda pissed off and said something along the lines of "was wondering how long it would take til we started talking about Jack" time to let some of the others shine and get their respect and credit on Jack. Was mad at him last couple days but have kinda mellowed. I'm more mad at the system and how unfair the big premier league machine is. How City are laughing in the face of FFP. How the whole thing is rigged to prevent teams from cracking the top 6. Then I get mad when I realise that its a trickle down system and what Man City are doing to the likes of Villa, Villa are doing to the likes of Norwick, or Southampton. Games Rigged Yo! I know people hate on the NFL and the franchise system but my goodness it makes for a fairer and more competitive league

dont get all the grumbling about how to fit these new players in, or that we have too many players for one position etc. i would love to see the statistics for how often in a typical season a manager has his full 1st choice 11 players available for selection - cant imagine its very high. It is very much a squad game nowadays - and players know this
