est1874 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Must say I actively want him gone now. Never thought I'd reach this stage due to his generational talent and what he's given us these past few years. But he's already joined Messrs Barry, Downing, Young and Delph in my head.

Personally I do actually believe that is the case, but thousands won't so it's good PR to get that message out for the Instagram masses to lap up. No way on earth did we offer him more money to say, we just couldn't afford to under FFP. You can lie to others, but not yourself. When he’s lying in bed at night, and all the back slapping and agent sycophancy has gone away, he’ll know he’s sold out. He’ll live with that for the rest of his days.

Most players will be happy he's off imo i remember during the euros, Mings was doing a presser and someone asked a question about Jack. He looked kinda pissed off and said something along the lines of "was wondering how long it would take til we started talking about Jack" time to let some of the others shine and get their respect and credit on Jack. Was mad at him last couple days but have kinda mellowed. I'm more mad at the system and how unfair the big premier league machine is. How City are laughing in the face of FFP. How the whole thing is rigged to prevent teams from cracking the top 6. Then I get mad when I realise that its a trickle down system and what Man City are doing to the likes of Villa, Villa are doing to the likes of Norwick, or Southampton. Games Rigged Yo! I know people hate on the NFL and the franchise system but my goodness it makes for a fairer and more competitive league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks he'll be regretting that decision soon... Just pretend he’s a massive fan of piracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish strikes me as not exactly the sharpest tool in the box (not knowing what encyclopaedic meant for example !) so i get the impression that material stuff like wages and what it can buy mean more than trying to get his head around being a potential legend at his boyhood club. He probably already has more money than he knows what to do with but i feel he thinks status and profile will help him in the dick swinging contest he will have when in the England dressing room. It’s certainly about the money. It’s pure PR from his agent to make him look sympathetic and not the leech. Damage control for a player many admired who still had romantic notions that somethings in football, like club loyalty, go beyond trophies and short term money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so clearly where he wants to be. Yeah, I noticed that too. He was chatting to Jordan Henderson about it. Obviously it was playing on his mind.

Tommo_b Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Maybe the delay is cos jack has asked for time to make a decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was loyal to Man U til he fell out with Fergie and they booted him, then went where he was wanted. I don’t believe his passion for England was in any way fake. He’s not that good an actor. If he doesn’t care then fine, but then all that ‘my club, my city’ stuff was bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Jack will even get up afterwards. I have a mental picture of it.....glorious!! Just do whatever it was that West Ham did to him at Villa Park last season because that was the least effective game ive seen Jack play ( i know he got an assist but it was in garbage time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone focuses on Jack then we'll get torn apart in other areas of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
