HanoiVillan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I thought I'd take the heat out of the disappointment of him leaving by having him in the fantasy draft game, and his points return is just yet another disappointment. #firstworldproblems 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Congrats Jack. You'll have loads of trophies but will become a nothing player in the process. City really didn't need to spend £100m on him, not what they needed and it was a big waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"no real problems" The problems of Barcelona are hardly the problems of real world football, Yes he had the balls to drop a few big names to get them winning again, Hardly revolutionary considering they lost so many games in the latter quarter of the season before he took over. They finished 18 points behind Real Madrid. hardly crisis material For any other team other than Barcelona To quote Graham Taylor, a big club will fall far quicker because they are a big club but on the other hand they will rise quicker due to the same Edited October 3, 2021 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't win as many trophies as he's done without being an excellent manager. Yes he's worked at clubs where they've given him a lot of money, all the best managers in the world do the same, not sure what the point is there? He's not exactly going to take a job at Birmingham City to "prove a point" is he? I think he's a bit of a Representative for Wellingborough at times but he's an excellent manager. There's probably not a club in the world that wouldn't want him as a manager. Mourinho's recent appointments are examples of a bad manager who spend loads of money, just spending money doesn't equal success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never even needed him, It's so F******* frustrating, they needed a striker if anyone. Is he even as good as Foden in this squad? When goals are what win you games, I would have to say Foden will get you more, so Foden for me is the better player anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many people simply look at heynckes won the CL with bayern, pep didn't = peps shit mate Just don't look at a 3 year period before pep during pep and after pep and do a proper analysis of what he did there... Its also like he's the only city manager to ever spend money and that's why he's made them better than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Its annoying because Foden is their Grealish. They just had to take away someone who meant absolutely everything to our fanbase when it wasnt even needed. Still, rather he went there than Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Had a quick look out of interest, he's added 1.2m followers on insta since his move, 4.3m in total compared to fodens 3.4m I thought he'd have more if I'm honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass and move. Get into pockets of space. Run in behind. This just isn't Jack. Trying to transform himself into a player he isn't I don't think will work.

Like Ronaldo shirt sales are probably 100k + Grealish shirts are probably 1k-5k ? if that. The Gulf is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
