I wouldn't swap Jack for a 25-year old Mahrez. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe, if he does eventually leave it will be two either of the big two in Spain . He's as good as McManaman, if not better and he played his best football for Madrid.

I'd also swap jack for Mbappe but only because we could then sell Mbappe for 400 million and resign jack for 100mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just disagree, because Mahrez, Mbappe, Messi.... They aren't our Jack and I wouldn't swap him for anyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eholm Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Superb as he was yesterday....I did find myself at times wanting Jack to release the ball a tiny bit quicker as other options were available. Admittedly this is probably due to the extremely high standards I expect of him but there were a couple of occasions where I think he slightly over-did things. I am probably a lone voice in this opinion wilderness but interested to see if any similar thoughts on here...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct there were a few times.he held on to the ball to long and lost possession when he could have released it earlier and been even more effective. It's a coaching thing hopefully these things get picked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in terms of what jack can do right now only 4 or 5 players on the works can do it. Messi being another but his legs are gone and is injury prone so couldn't play 35 games. Mahrez doesn't track back though which is his weakness but yeah I think aside from that he is basically jack on the other side of the pitch with a bit more conviction to shoot.

I've seen a fair few City fans say they'd love to replace Mahrez with Grealish if the fee weren't an issue. Maybe this could be your first big agent deal.

While it did sometimes look as if he was holding on too long, we should probably take into account he's waiting for his team-mate to make the move he wants/expects him to. I'm sure we'll see big improvements in this as he builds understanding with the likes of Ollie, Ross and Bert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this could be your first big agent deal. Mahrez is heavily underrated. And I'm not saying I would prefer mahrez to grealish I have them on the same level though and obviously grealish has the boyhood club connection and works harder and is younger. With the squad we have right now he is one of the few players we could swap grealish with without getting weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday he was doing a bit too much. Beat 1 or 2 players in the box but kept trying to beat the 3rd or 4th when he was better placed just shooting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in the top 5 of the PL right now. The debate is if he is World Class, in that case he needs more goals and assists. But surely by saying he’s in the top 5 of PL, which is regarded by a lot as the best league in the World, then you are agreeing that he is world class? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
