I agree he has been underused, but I see it as a positive when viewed with AV specs on. His stock (value) with the rest of the country is sky high yet he has effectively been training but well rested this entire time. A win win for the Villa for the upcoming season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put up or shut up, they are just trying to get a player on the cheap. Money is tight for them... I've just never believed the Jack to Man City because it makes no sense. Yes Jack wants to win trophies, yes Pep likes him and he would be a good addition to Man City but the cost would be huge, they have real quality in his position, Jack signed a 5 year contract 9 months ago, he's happy here, our owners are building something special here and arent going to let Jack go and even if they did it would be for a hell of a lot more than 100m, we've just had Covid which has impacted clubs and Man City need a striker not another creator. It's always felt like a computer game, a Football Manager transfer and not based in reality at all. There are just too many barriers for it to happen. Of course, this time next week I could be wrong and Jack is holding up a Man City shirt but I just dont think it's remotely possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 110%. Southgate has been fortunate to date, because the players that he has picked have got the results, that have kept the flak off him. It is unbelievable that Jack has not started a game and didn't even get a few minutes off the bench with the last game already won. I suspect that the only minutes Jack might get, is if we are behind with the minutes ticking away. I hope I'm wrong but his omissions look increasingly personal, rather than tactical.

I think it's "remotely possible", but it is a lot less likely to happen than Harry moving there. I suspect we will all have a lingering worry, until the window closes, but our owners know how important he is to us and that eases my concerns significantly.

That's still a bit misleading though because most things are coming from that position, most of my shares are but they are just returning to pre-pandemic levels. So they were exceptionally rich, slightly less exceptionally rich and now exceptionally rich again. Edited July 7, 2021 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Pep said a longtime ago that he would have Jack under him in a heartbeat. He then said the one problem is that no one will ever be able to offer Aston Villa enough money to cover his loss because he's just worth to much to the club. Pep is absolutely right as well, we have a player who's value far exceeds that of money, money is worth nothing compared to what Jack does, what he's capable of and what he brings to a team. Jack is at Villa for Life and wouldn't it be great if that was the case and somewhere along the line he were even Coach of Villa. I believe that he knows how much he's been held back by the likes of Southgate that he would know which talent to look for and he'd never pull those kind of stunt if he were the man in charge. He would be a great Coach because he's been through the industry's rough times, pushed through and knocked the walls down and is continuing to do so. You usually find those that have been through lessons and learned from them that they are good teachers Inthe end because they have had the experience of bad times. He's a great player and someday I think will be a great teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm frustrated with the press and media over it but I have no worry about it actually happening. Next season if we dont improve I probably will but I honestly dont think there is any chance he's moving this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jack very much as a football player, but I can't see him being able to or wanting to get through teacher's training in his late 30s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
