Could be bullshit but you seem to state ‘everyone’ loved him as if it was a fact. It may not have been the case. I'm basing it on what we all can see. There seemed to be a great team spirit when Jack was here, the players seemed to love him, you never heard a bad word said about him despite his misdemeanors off the pitch. The same can be said at Man City. He has never seemed to be any kind of disruptive influence at Villa or Man City. It's not a "fact", it's my opinion based on the evidence we have. But I guess if someone at the club said something non specific that could be bullshit then I must be wrong. I'll file that one alongside him dying of liver disease in 2 years and being a coke addict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to criticise him when he deserves it. I've done it plenty of times in the past. I just find it funny that a lot of the stuff that is thrown at him in this thread is frankly made up, or at the least massively exaggerated, like his aforementioned alcohol dependancy. Now it's "Someone at the club I know told me some people thought he was a prick but they didn't say who and it might be bullshit" It's not terribly convincing is it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many people I can put in this category. Anyway he’s long gone now and thriving. Fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I heard from someone in the club he reheated fish in the microwave at lunchtime and left floaters in the toilet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Doku is having a hell of a game. I think at any other club, this signing wouldn't have been considered a success. Imagine man u, spurs or arsenal paying £100 million and getting the exact same return. But at a club where money doesn't matter, he's played his part in a financial doping club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Yeah I don’t buy this Pep instruction as the only reason for his constrained play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Doku is different levels. Just can’t fathom why a player with rhe confidence and flair of Jack restricted his game so much even when he constantly said he needed to add more goals and assists. Doku cost less and already looks much better value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not just Pep's instructions but also the injuries did take their toll - I feel like we've never seen him in full flight since his injury in Feb 21.
