I don’t think Man City just bought him to spite all the other teams. definitely not but i wouldn't be surprised if it was one of many factors the main one of course being that it was to stop aston villa rising up and winning the treble before they did... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This guys career must be done at Man City. I watched their match yesterday and despite being 2-1 down and desperate for a way back into the game, Pep didn’t bring him on. He even bought on twenty year old Oscar Bobb in preference to Jack. It now looks as though Foden, Doku and Bobb are ahead of him in the wide forward pecking order. I think it’s all a bit sad really. It’s sad that he will unlikely never reach his potential. It’s sad that England will never see the best of him. It’s sad that he doesn’t seem that bothered about it either. What a total waste of an incredible talent. I’ve just come back from watching my 9 year olds match in which he played centre forward, left back, centre back and goalkeeper all within a 50 minute match. I asked him after if he was bothered that he’d basically had to play all those different positions in a single match. He said “no Dad. I just want to play. I don’t care where, so long as I am playing.” I’m sure part of Jack must still feel the same way. I hope he doesn’t have to deal with a lifetime of regret as he gets older. Just all a bit sad really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I watched the game last night and every time the camera panned to the bench I thought Jack looked old... He looks tired, my Wife said he's been burning the candle at both ends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Savio from City Group Girona on his way to City now. Another ahead of Jack in the pecking order potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would romp the league without him every year. 1 goal in 13 games in the champions league. Integral not a chance. Participated yes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill from here and we should never ever sign players from the Big 6 (Martinez being the only decent one we have signed from any of them in my memory). Why upset the balance and atmosphere we have in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre city, i would have him back. Now, the magic has been stolen from his feet. He's a system player in pep's team. Also, he thinks he's billy big dick now, so he'd want to be the main man here. The main man here is Unai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not like he's a worse player now than he was before. If anything he will be better. Pep's system just doesn't suit him at all. Far too robotic.

AndyM3000 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I don't think he's that driven by money, wouldn't surprise me if he did take a pretty big pay cut to come back if it was possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
