This ensures we get top dollar or he stays. Hopefully he can settle a bit now and get going. That depends on whether we are paying "top dollar" for him to stay. I think Jack is a good player at this level and we need him. But if we are paying him silly money to stay, with our FFP position, it may not be the best deal for us after all. He needs to really step up now. I believe he can do it, but the time is now. No more, "he has potential", he needs to perform. And Bruce needs to play him in a way that allows his best to shine through. Edited September 24, 2018 by One For The Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know what this contract is really, especially how things are atm. Glad there is no big deal made of it! If we go up it's a different story though!

romavillan Posted September 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2018 Top marks for Jack. Let's hope the new owners can get the rest of this omnishambolic shit show up to the kind of level that means he can be successful with us.

It's a contract to ensure we get a decent price when he leaves this summer, there won't be the usual interview where he talks about his love for the club, how he sees himself here for years to come. Which after the Delph debacle I would appreciate to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a factor in all seriousness but now he’s signed, time to pull the plug on Bruce 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted September 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2018 I would go the other way and say the only reason he signed is because of the future he was sold. Bruce has done well for Jack but sticking him out on the wing is not one of them! The kid should have the team built around him and maybe that is what has been sold to him by Purslow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Great news. Not only did he stay with us this summer he's also signed a new contract. You would have gotten decent odds on that a couple of months ago. One of our own is Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an unbelievable amount of morons on your average Villa facebook fan page, it's pretty breath taking to be honest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2018 Great that he’s signed the contract, but very odd the lack of any type of message from him. No social media posts or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Should have sold him in the summer, We will not get another bid anywhere near 25m for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we shouldn't! We don't want another bid, nor need the money. £60m apparantly or piss off - He is ours! Great move by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think selling your best players takes you anywhere....we never really replaced Milner did we? Edited September 24, 2018 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted September 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2018 Great to see him sign such a long contract. Really hope no message from SB means a new manager is on the way as i dont thinkwe will ever see the best of Jack with SB in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
