Kiwivillan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The 3 new mids will be more consistent than him. Nice to have as an option rather than a necessity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walesavfc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 how many free kicks/pens has he been awarded, i think we may have a chance of converting a few free kicks with our new midfield( i think a pen should count as a assist btw) . a couple of games he has been kicked off the park, cardiff especially. I think we could see the best of him in the coming months if this midfield gels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 England has always been too 'now' without really giving much thought to the future IMO. So if a player has a few bad games, he's dropped, not good enough, sell him. A lot of foreign clubs tend to persist through the growing pains a bit more and let them develop. I'd rather still give him a decent amount of game time rather than ship him off or have him on the bench every week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 as much as I like Jack, with the players we have signed their is no excuse now for him not to perform. Lansbury and Hourihane should be perfect for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Apparently Middlesbrough are interested. I would be open to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think we've seen what he can do... He's a decent player who would excel in Scotland or Belgium...He's too slow, not strong enough and is too timid in front goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Would not sell. Everyone moans about selling our talents young and they turn out to be good players. Cahill, Davis, Albrighton etc. All would walk back into our team. Jack has real potential, he needs to work harder but let's nuture him rather than giving up to a few million. Especially when money isn't really an issue, getting quality in can be. I hope we told boro to **** off Edited January 27, 2017 by Lord Willard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didiersix Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm all for him being sold. It will be the making/breaking of him. He strikes me as someone who has been in a comfort zone for far too long - familiar surroundings, familiar faces etc. He is 21 now and from what I've seen of him, he lacks sufficient pace to be a really good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vreitti Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Jack is a modern day luxury player, and now that we finally have a midfield we can get the best out of him. Would be utter madness to sell him at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, I'd be lying if I said I actually understood it but it doesn't look good unless it's for >£15m it's daft, he's got time on his side, he's the face of the club, he's a local lad, it's **** Middlesbrough... unless it's a loan deal to try and get him out of the area and back in the Prem with Rhodes coming the other way but karanka's got them playing defensive shit football this season so I don't even see him fitting what Boro are doing if it's another swap deal where we get Rhodes and they get Jack I'll be fuming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about 'club ethos' and 'building structures' - 'visions for the future' Lets try and win the bulk of the next 10 games - that will make things look a whole lot better...

tezzaleed Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) I cannot believe some of the posts in here. Sell Grealish at 21. We've seen what he can do. Ludicrous. At 21 he's got 5 or 6 years possibly more given his natural physique and style of game before he hits his peak. At the moment Bruce is playing him perfectly, giving him cameos or the odd game. We've got some decent midfielders in that will hopefully take the focus and pressure off him. He has the potential if guided properly to be the best midfielder this club has had since Sid. Put it this way, this club in its current state would not be able to attract the calibre of player he is likely to become, let alone afford him.
