I’m sure he would have loved to go but he could be back fine on Sunday and Southgate could still have opted to name a squad based on current form and fitness, and he’s missed the last five games. If he IS back Sunday I think he’s just been unlucky with timing. Ideal for him (not us) is he plays Sunday and someone else picks up a knock and he gets the call up. Ideal for us is he gets the rest, but then he likely misses the Euros. Eric Dier says hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be worrying for Jack, Southgate seems like he’ll take any excuse he can to not pick him. He better call him up. I got a bet on here with someone that he will feature in every important game. I can’t remember who the bet was with and how much for. But there’s a bet somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchmefoot Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think Southgate's opinion of Jack has changed and he will be nailed on to be in the squad. Whether he makes the regular starting 11 however is less certain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 5 minutes ago, Zatman said: City for all the money dont really spend that big on transfers True, but bare in mind they have been targeting more than one player per window to build up. I could see them making an exception for a long term replacement for Aguero. As another poster commented, it's literally all they need. Wouldn't surprise me if they blew their whole budget on one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also tend to buy several players each summer but I don’t think they need to do that this time around such is the strength of the squad. I think one massive signing will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It looks very unlikely that he will play on Sunday. I was really hoping he would make it! Hopefully the rest of the boys will up their games a bit. A win against Spurs, without Jack, would do us all the world of good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So he's apparently "excited to join city" Last year he was excited to join UTD, the year before he had his heart set on Tottenham. Look, he may leave, who knows. City are a team that most players in the world would struggle to turn down. But rags are rags, I don't believe a single fecking word.

Demitri_C Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If its city we should try get a player from them and cash. Cant stop him if ita city but i reckon we could milk 90m if its them. I think jack would ruin his career going city personally as pep wont let him do what he wants on the pitch like hw does here. Also he going ti be benched alot just like peps been doing with whole squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The culture shock of suddenly going city and being on the bench for maybe a third of the season could be really damagong for hin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good damn Bull shit, no one knows except the club and Jack himself what's going on, not unless they have some spy inside of Villa and I severely doubt that. These media rumours are full of crap there is never no evidence, no voice of Jack saying he's excited or anyrhing of Villa saying he's off. It's annoying as hell and its most likely coming from media who are supporting these clubs and come out with such horse shit to get everyone reading and excited at the prospect. UK media is so crap when it comes down to this, they are not like they used to be when they actually went around finding story's and earnt there money, now they sit at home and look for one little tiny spark to start the rest off. Jack could be having a drink in a pub and someone says what you think of city or its and he says they are a great team. All of a sudden there's a reporter that spins that and takes it to the next level and more and totally explodes that simple convo into a volcano of shit. Grealish could be wiping his ass with Man city or utd toilet paper and all of a sudden the media would find out and spin that somehow into he wants to join city or utd.

sne Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Not like City re smack full of players who could realistically move in a cash + player deal. Zinchenko perhaps but that's pretty much it. I'd take money thanks, and lots of it. Rather he stays of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We need to offer him a bumper new contract, keep him here, let him know the team is being built around HIM! If we are going to sell him? It needs to be for a world record amount... If we are going to sell the best player we have had in a generation, we need to make sure we get the money back in to boost every single aspect of the team... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Is Jack the sort of person to say he's excited to join Man City when he's contracted to play for Villa? Highly doubtful given how fond he is of Villa. The media just make this crap up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
