How can that have happened, he's wearing villa gear at the Euros camp? Honestly don't think that's right mate, I really liked his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical studies have been carried out on his previous barnet and have concluded that he can head the ball 16% more accurately and run on average 4.1kmph faster with a cue ball style nut.

thunderball Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks to me like its all about a nice new contract for Jack, just the Agent doing his bit for his client..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double edged sword, pay him 200k pw and he's happy ( I bet he already is, on 125k ) but then it limits who would be in for him the following season as only 2 or 3 clubs will be offering that sort of wages.

WallisFrizz Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If we’re building a team around Jack that can give him European football, the owners need to go big this transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many clubs could realistically afford his fee and wages now? I'd imagine in both scenarios it would be the same 2/3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages would obviously have to increase quite alot for a new club to sign him. So the fee plus 300k pw all of a sudden is a bit less appealing I would guess ?

I'm starting to wonder if even those clubs could at the moment, even the reports from Man City are saying they are having to sell the likes of Mahrez, Silva and Gundogan. Of course they can pay the fee and pay the wages but does it even make sense to do that, iot would even be pushing Man City boundaries to lose three attacking talents to buy one talent it would be weakening their depth, which has been one of their key assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some dodgy thing by broke RM or Barca who seem to only getting in free transfers or PSG, not even sure what dodgy thing they are doing. In terms of the PL, Man U are struggling to buy Sancho for two seasons for 75-80m. Chelsea could but would they. Klopp has already said that Liverpool cant, I'm sure there are reasons for that and even Man City are struggling having to sell some players if they spend that amount for a fee. I struggle to get close to 5 or 6 clubs mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say there'd still be a draw to play for City on the same wages as he'd have here. They can offer him pretty much winning everything possible.

Unless City offer like 1 billion quid in which case we should accept but we would lose between 150-200 million a year from where we could/should be next season by selling Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Man City need a striker as well, and they'll want the likes of Kane or Haaland, who will both be more expensive than Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and I wouldn't swap them even without the emotional attachment, but I think most neutrals would have him ahead in value at this stage. He's coming off of an absolutely sensational season.
