Footballers want us to support them, sing their names, sell us their xxxx, pay their salaries, follow them on social media and then when they act like pr**ks we are supposed to accept its just a job to them and we should accept it. No. This sport and all the fame and fortune it brings them is emotive. We invest our emotions into it along with our money and attention. You can't expect one without the other. We've just lost our captain who has traded on our emotions, earned vast sums of money, and left for our rivals and you want to publicly blow sunshine up his ass regarding his move? Good onehope you're shipped out asap

If he wipes his arse like he drives his car then its for the best

How does that work if its from the same club and they're mates?

In other unrelated news, sleeping tablet and alcohol problems are difficult to recover from too

I don't think.we need anymore Jack's replacements. JWP, a centre back and backup keeper and were sorted

So he demands a release clause if ANY CL club comes in, can't even manage a full season to help us achieve it, before his non-descript "mystery" shin injury finishes our chance of finishing in European places then ***** off at the first offer? Wow, thanks Jack. I think I don't want you to do very well in your new job

Have we got a spare £500k per week?

As loveable as Jack is, he's a pain in the arse and a sideshow. Most players will be happy he's off imo

I think ward prowse sitting in as a quarter back position pinging balls thorough to bailey and Watkins would create havoc. No1 signing for me now Watkins Bailey Ings buendia SJM JWP Or Watkins/Ings Bailey Buendia SJM jWP Nakamba Either way we are much stronger with him in there

Alan sugars moobs

Good shout as a swap for cash + hourihane

Hopefully what ever made him look like this after his holiday is out of his system - or he'll fail the medical

Hopefully injuries largely behind him. Missed 11 games in 2 years according to that guardian article. Much better than greadlish

Get in gs

Last minute Chelsea bid?

It's great that we now have players worthy of transfer records, not long ago we couldn't have given half the squad away

Bye Jack, thanks for the memories - from the jewell in the Crown to one of man city's many trinkets. I am gutted he's going, but there's many reasons to hope that this will strengthen us in the longer term. We can be unshackled from FFP and reinvest, and not have the annual circus destabilising the rest of the team. Jack has (current) injury / lifestyle problems which the club have given him love and support to get over. The pressure ranks up, and the support and love drops off, so interesting to see where he will be in a year or two...especially if another few trinkets arrive in his place. Ps your hair is shit

**** my life

Exactly. It's so the player can facilitate a move if another club comes in for you, allowing an exit without kicking up a fuss and without losing a loyalty bonus.

Isn't negotiating a release clause into your contract a way of asking to leave if it suits you without asking to leave though? That sentence made sense in my head

I think there may be something in the Kane situation delaying matters.

If you want to prove yourself at the highest level Jack, drag us to some silverware mate

The greatest trick CJ Golson ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist

If I was villa, I would pick CJ Golson to break the news too tbf

This guys not a complete freak...? How would he know tho?
