Hypocrisy demonstrated by the media is staggeringWhat makes i larf in all of this is that the very same media that can't stop telling us proles, how much in the light of the ESL they "value" us fans and how dare these six clubs contemplate what they were contemplating. The very same media then make up stories , create doubt and cause distress to fans (not of the big 6) in their efforts to "persuade " Super Jack to go to one of the er..... Big 6. Strange world innit
Basically yes, it will be like this every season until we make the top 4 or buy Sancho , Harry Kane or someone to make the clowns realise our owners don't need the moneyThe Birmingham Mail is determined to sell him. Latest interest from Chelsea apparently. Are they deliberately trying to wind us up?
I see a lot of comparisons with Foden. For me, Jack is in a different class. Foden gets all the time and space in the world. He has world class players all around him. Heskey would get 20 goals in that team.
Jack plays with 2 or 3 players on him at all times and still runs the show.
That's why we have doubts, as we have never had owners like these, it always seems t be a false dawn.My thoughts all along were if a good enough offer came for CL football came in, he'd take it. Said many times, careers are short (as you can see from him missing 1/3 of the season) and these offers don't always return. However all the rumblings - and some very good long term contacts - seem to be so positive on him staying and on him being impressed with the summer plans.
I'll not take it to the bank though, until the season kicks off and the transfer window slams shut.
I would love the signal it would send to keep the best, as we've never really done that.

Hopefully NSWE are the real deal

Pretty sure that if he left, it would be him wanting to leave and he'd only do that I imagine, if the offer was CL football. I can't see it ever being about the money, it is clear his love of Villa, is the same as all of us.
I guess there is a time where it is impossible to turn down, but the sort of money that would make the club think it impossible, just isn't going to be bid is it?
No mate it would take 150m and then we'd probably turn it down. Nobody is paying that, which is why all these stupid stories get on my tits.

Certainly, people don't want a well thought out article on anything they want headline stuff.The media are deep in the doo dah as social media and other forms of news are decimating them, that is why we get the round-and-round rumour bullshit, it pays as, despite how much people moan about clickbait, people click it. I can demonstrate some of the articles I've done over the years that took time, research and (believe it or not) thought, that got far fewer views than throwaway bollox. Hence, I write very little these days.
Man City can win the league with or without Foden, Aguero, Silva etc in fact they have done. Foden is not the reason City won the league they'd win it anyway but Jack is the difference between us finishing top 6 or bottom 6.
No City players play every game, not even the keeper, They have a core 15 that play about 26 games each. Even then they don't often play the full 90
As Micah Richards say Jack has that extra ability that opens up any team.
Exactly. That's what we should be aiming for. That's what DS means about having greater depth in the squad. Having more than one player for each position doesn't mean one is labelled starter and the other(s) backup. Applies to Jack as well, even if he's not keen on it. He won't be playing 38 matches in a season; he'll either be rested or be injured.No City players play every game, not even the keeper, They have a core 15 that play about 26 games each.

Yes, that spot on and the reason I don't quite get why people think our current team only needs a couple of additions. It actually needs 2 every transfer window really.Exactly. That's what we should be aiming for. That's what DS means about having greater depth in the squad.

We will be subbing Super Jack a lot next season. No need to risk him getting injured when we are 4 up with 20 mins to go.
