Djemba_Villan Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Lets hope there will be some positives in this for us:- A. That Jack has good people around him, that fire him up to make Southgate look like a prize plum in the early phases of the season B. That this continues to inspire Jack to push himself to earn a call-up C. Less games for Jack, less chance of injury, less tapping-up. D. Financially? Might haver financial incentives in his contract based on a call-up like Mings did? He needs to accept he is extremely unlikely to play for England under Southgate. I should imagine Southgate will be sacked before Jack's 'peak years' are over. Edited August 25, 2020 by Djemba_Villan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I so hope he swaps to Ireland instead if that is still an option that is open to him. Southgate want's to play it safe and boring and use pace and set pieces to try and score, that's fine. Minimum effort required from him as a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Apparently Rob Dorset from Sky Sports said Southgate had distinctly told the journalists before the interview Not to ask any questions why Jack hasn't been picked! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate is still a word removed though! Come on Denmark and Iceland!!!! The bolded is the bit that scares me. This could be the decision that pushes him over the edge in wanting to leave for more opportunity at a higher level, both for club and country. Southgate has potentially completely f***ed us here. It makes me feel sick. If Jack goes to Man Utd, he'll get picked whether Southgate likes him or not, whether his performance improves or not.

Doesn't want it overshadowing things. He knows there will be a circus around him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted August 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2020 Bur doesn’t the British media and journalists question why he has left out Grealish and question why he picked Phillips but left out Grealish playing in the championship. why doesn’t the media call him out as a clown and a liar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just another thought on Jack’s omission from the squad. Does Southgate have a daughter and has Jack been there and not called her back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
