Danishlad Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 A top talent, being pushed off the ball is fine by me if he contours to carve the opposition up time after time. Bent will also thrive from his play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in reply to danish I completely agree Bent can find space and finish. Exactly the type of player Jack needs IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'd much rather see him playing with Benteke than Bent though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A good performance and a goal last night, and no posts in this thread since Tuesday. What's happening to VT?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2014 I put it in the match thread, but was at the game last night and this lad was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. So much further ahead than our other academy players already. The lad has natural talent and will go far. Need to sort his contract out ASAP. If he can bulk up a bit he will have a big future in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Was also very impressed by him last night. The only logic to letting Albrighton go for free is that they felt Jack was ready and a better bet for the future. In my eyes he is ready now and I see him getting plenty of first team action this year. Streets ahead of Tonev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I too was there PieFacE. He's definately ahead of the other lads, many of which are older than him. I still worry a bit about his size, as he will get muscled off the ball, and not always be able to get a free kick in return. But hopefully his skill will win in the end. I saw Jack's first goal for the first team in the pre-season friendlies last year, and now I've seen his second! Hopefully I'll see a few more when the season proper kicks off.

Richard Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I hope he lives up to his hype and potential . If so his transfer value will be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted July 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2014 I hope he lives up to his hype and potential . If so his transfer value will be huge So next summer we're going to sell Grealish AND Okore? I agree it's the upside of the young and hungry policy and the great academy we have to help us turn a profit, but I'd like to think if Lambert is still around it won't just be to turn a profit on sales year in, year out. I think he is more ambitious than that surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Football is about having the technical and physical attributes, but someone as talented with the ball as Jack doesn't necessarily need to 'bulk up' in a way that a mostly physical player like Gabby had to, they just need to learn to use their size and strength effectively, which it looks like he is learning now playing games at the senior level. He's of a similar build to Modric, who did just fine in the Premier League. Letting him leave would be a travesty.

He's of a similar build to Modric, who did just fine in the Premier League. Letting him leave would be a travesty. Totally agree on the bulking up. It's a fixation because a player can gain an edge by being bigger/stronger if it's not at the cost of pace. In the case of a player who naturally has a technical ability to outshine other players it's not a necessity, and asking a smaller player to bulk up could be detrimental in the long run. Look at photos of Ronaldo (the original one) when he's 18 and then when he's mid twenties, aside from the drugs argument, I think he was advised badly to put on that much muscle mass and that's what knackered his knees. I'm not comparing Ronaldo to Grealish here, it's an example of overdoing this fixation with muscle bound sprinters that the modern game has thrown up. If Jack can protect the ball through his skills then he does't need the muscles, they might do more harm than good long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
