Bazmonkey Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Its a lot of money and it will test the board. IMO the only way the board will except a bid is if they know Jack wants to leave. Now if he does...we need to take them to the cleaners.....130...140. I get the playing for medals....but id like to think Jack knows deep down...after the days of winning he will just be another player who played for City and won something....they come...they go......here he will be given the key to the city....when he retires this will be the thing that will stick with him forever. City fans wont give a rats ass in 10 years when he is retired because they will have another superstar in the ranks. Lets ask them about the Nasri's even Barry....won a few things but are they really idolised....i know which id prefer.....a shearer...a le tiss....... Lets hope the board say foxtrot oscar...he is ours and we prep for a new season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be fair, but why would we settle for fair (if we indeed sell him)? If Villa sell him for 100 mill, I am disappoint. Heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's track record is strong. I believe in him. I believe in Wes and the management team as well but this has little to do with them. They have offered Jack a pay raise for the 2nd year running. That's almost unheard of. This is solely down to Jack and his desires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wict01 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 As others have said, he is completely irreplaceable for us. If he goes, we cannot attract a player of the same calibre and it sets us back mightily. Can we build a stronger all-round team with the money? Possibly, but there are no guarantees that any new players can replicate what Jack has given us, or that they will integrate flawlessly into the system. It's just fraught with risk and the message it sends about our ambition is killer, all talk of "the project" etc becomes just more empty words as we've seen so many times in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Said it for a while if there's no release clause then it's £200m +. We should not sell for a Penny less. ( Ideally we don't sell at all). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I could stomach it if he left for 130m. I'd still have a breakdown. But I could stomach it. 100m and it's either very bad business or that is a fee that has been agreed upon either via a handshake or on a piece of paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 For what it's worth. IF he does stay, it will be oh so much sweeter knowing that they bid 100m and he decided to stay. It will make him even more of a hero than he currently is now. Come on Jack. Believe in the project! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he won't play every game, because they have too many, but he's going to play more than most with that price tag on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay him 300k a week, or whatever. And to all our fans' luck: he has to follow it up. But yes, all cards are in Jack's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true though, we would be selling the player who does many things for the club and it's the wrong time to sell him while ever we don't have no more players like Jack who could be a luring point. We have to bring more quality players in on Jack's level before we sell Jack on or we will be stuck at pulling in a certain level of player each season and never get on the type that City or pool themselves are on. We have to keep him for a good many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crap summer this has been. I disagree. We broke the club transfer record by beating Arsenal to Buendia, we almost prised away ESR from them, we've been linked to Alvarez, Bailey, JWP, and a few other very good players. We've been at the center of things for most of the window. I for one love it. And we still have a chance to retain our talisman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
