Misread that, although 1 tackle per game is nearly as bad. What about 1 assist in 23 appearances, that's a total figure - do you think that indicates he would be 'brilliant' in the Premiership?

But against Preston he made 2. So unless he made -1 tackles in the previous 20 games, I'm going to go ahead and call it nonsense. According to this he has attempted 28 tackles and made 22.

The very highest is only 2.3 and even that is mostly due to small sampe size (de laet). As for assists, tt indicates a lack of firepower, too. A lot of Kodjia's goals have come from the spot (of which Jack won some of). But he's 21 FFS, playing in a team that's been awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think 22 tackles in 22 games is "nearly as bad" as 1 tackle in 21 games, and you wonder why people are getting on your case? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 IF (and I don't know for sure) the club is pissing too close to the wind in terms of FFP, and need to sell someone of decent value to help balance the books, then who do people suggest we sell? And let's not start with: "but Der iz wayz 2 get round FFP" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I very much doubt they'll let him go, I think Tony's tweet has been misinterpreted. It's New Years Eve for him, he's probably mullered. It would be a barmy decision. Unless he's not pulling his weight. The decision will be Steve Bruce's to make I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a mistake unless someone offered us doolally money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Massive shame if we sell another of our home grown players. It hasn't produced on a consistent basis yet but the talent is there to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Of our entire squad, including players bought this week, Jack is the last player I would sell. For rational reasons as I think he's one of our most gifted players, but for emotional reasons too as I feel its important we have players with some (local) affinity to the club, at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Only just saw that tweet. Took it as "We know what decision to make (we know what we should do), I agree with you [to not sell] (I'm one of yours), you're always going to get offers for good players (it happened all the time if anyone is good)" Edited January 27, 2017 by kurtsimonw 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Depends what sort of offer we get for him - if the price is good enough then yes I'd sell if it benefits the team and we can replace him with quality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For all the potential the end product is too rarely seen - I like jack and would be happy to keep him but I doubt boro will make the sort of offer to pull off this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd rather keep him. He's got talent, just needs to work on application and it isn't exactly a massive risk for us to stick with him. I like the stat misinterpretations by the way. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jack is crap in another 18 months or so, fine. It's unlikely he'd have devalued to the point where we'd regret not selling him now. Otherwise, his value will go up and he'll be an even better asset in terms of £ or performance. The lad has a footballing brain, that's the hardest part to teach. Everything else can be drilled in to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
