Popular Post ferguson1 Posted January 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) It’s a shame what he’s become right now because he’s as good as anything I’ve seen play for us. Easy to forget sometimes but Jack was simply unplayable, unstoppable and a joy to watch at times. I really don’t think he’s in a good place at present. Outside of football matches, he needs some help and guidance. Edited January 22, 2022 by ferguson1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was everything to us last year, hence why he sold for £100m We were too reliant on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably see him come into his own next season. Not unheard of under Guardiola. True but with Sterling, Silva, Mahrez, Foden, KDB, Jesus and likely Alvarez, and maybe in the summer a striker, is he going to get the chance? There only so many attacking positions and he keeps being dumped in the false 9 position, at some point they’ll put somebody else there and then who do they drop to keep him in the side. I think his style doesn’t fit them, I thought when they brought him it was to use his running ability with the ball at defenders but they’ve basically allowed him to do anything but that. It’s not because he hasn’t had the opportunity but he gets the ball and immediately passes off, that’s not the great part of his game. Square peg in a round hole for me.

He was sensational in the last couple of seasons for us and his performances were streets ahead of anything we've seen at VP in a number of years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Bring him back for £40m in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with you entirely because Jack for us (football wise) was sensational. But and a big but, something is not right with him. He’s certainly not enjoying his football right now but outside of the pitch, is it mental health, alcohol, drugs or women, or a combination of all? Big red flag right now. I really don’t think Gerrard would want what he has become. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 Would you drop signing Coutinho for £33m if it meant we could bring Jack back for £50m? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I'm sorry, as far as I'm concerned he's just a guy who used to play for us. I really don't get the desperation to bring him back. His form has fallen off a cliff, Buendia looks twice the player and is delighted to be here. Grealish will be sold for about £40m to another top but nevertheless lesser team who can afford his wages, fail there and end up signing for whoever is doing an Everton in a few years near the end of his contract.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 IMO he has burnt his bridges so wouldn't want him back. We've moved on and would prefer to see us develop the likes of Ramsey and Chuk... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may change my mind over the coming months if Coutinho ends up being poor but if I had to decide today I think I’d plump for Coutinho. I have a number of reasons, some really good reasons and some poor reasons but Coutinho would win at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I watched half of that. I got the distinct impression kevin de bruyne doesnt like him. He was very reluctant to pass to him throughout the entire game, even when he was standing in front of him arms wide open Kevin passed it to someone else. Interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 what was Grealish going to do to him? Give him bad hair tips because he was outmatched with Romeu for a physical confrontation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt. I want Coutinho to hit form again but that's up in the air. Even if he has a great second half of the season, it likely won't eclipse Jack's 20/21 season, which was as good a season I've seen from any player in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Would rather Buendia, Coutinho than Greal-hiss...who seems to have completely lost the plot. Let's face it, many of us tolerated him as he was supposedly one of our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
