Same here.
The 'good cop, bad cop' comment is neither here nor there. I imagine Lambert was bigging up Jack, and then Keane was saying about how he still needs to work on this and this.
I think it's a little, cheeky 'pull your finger out and offer a contract' dig.
That's how I interpreted it as well, hopefully this is sorted out soon, how could we possibly let one of the best prospects for many a year go? Makes no sense
