AJ Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Alot of reasons have been mentioned as to why Jack stays, so I will just add another which hasn't probably been touched on much. In my FF team, I had Foden, Lo Celso and Stones. Great players, who would start every week at any club, except for Mank City apparently. It was frustrating, because Pep likes to rotate his players, regardless if there are no injuries or fatigue. Such was my disappointment to find a fat 0 next to their names, despite them winning well. Jack throws a hissy fit if he is subbed off in the last 2 minutes. How is he going to feel that he is not going to play every game at a club which has no soul in the first place?

wilko154 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I do feel as though we need to make a statement signing this summer. Right now Jack is playing with players some way behind his ability (some are very good players Buendia, McGinn, Watkins, Konsa etc but not world class as of yet). We need to make a real statement signing, someone who is on the same wavelength that Jack is on. A real quality winger or central midfielder would do this, although I don't know who this would be. City made a huge statement of their intentions with the signing of Robinho, are we now at a level where we could pull something similar off, and in the process prove to Jack the ambition of the owners? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be the best payed player in the premier league before he’s allowed to leave. We are not about to sell the darling of English football for 2 Joelintons and a Solanke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big CL nights are a big draw, especially for someone who loves football as much as Jack, the NBA doesn't have an equivalent to that.

It's not like he's turning 35 next year and I'm sure that's what he signed up for when he signed his new contract last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said himself the target was 8-12th. The owners have not reneged on their word and are investing. I reckon it’ll be another contract, more incomings and a push for top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just finished 11th, stepping up to CL qualification won't be happening any time soon, and is more difficult than people think. Look at how much Everton have been spending, and getting nowhere near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how much Everton have been spending, and getting nowhere near it. But he knew this before signing the contract. He knew we weren't going to be in the top 4 last season and it would be a 2-3 year thing at the earliest. It's not like we finished 15th, we were actually disappointed with 11th and finished with 55 points that on average would have you top 8. We also look like we're heavily investing again this summer, already breaking our transfer record again. From his perspective, everything is on track no? Why would he suddenly change now? What's the urgency? If there was any time to leave, it was after we just finished 17th on the last day. Last summer would have been the hardest time to convince him, and we did it. He's playing for England at the Euros after that. CL can wait. He'll be a CL caliber player next year and the year after that too. He has the luxury to stick around and see if he can realize that ambition at Villa. It didn't look like it was even possible 2 years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did sign a contract, under the premise of the project? After we’d just finished 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Maybe you're all right, no-one will know unless they're in Jack's head. But a new contract isn't a major sign of anything, it just means we won't lose him for a ridiculous fee, which, even if he wanted to leave, would be the last thing he wanted to happen to his boyhood club. I just think he's such a big football fan that he'll be want to be playing in these huge games sooner rather than later in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
