Any scouts from teams with an actual ambition to achieve on a football pitch would look at Jack and ignore the rest of our team.
They'd then report back that they should sign him and we will probably sell him.
And then we truly will be a team with no talent, no leadership and no fight.
Wenger could do with watching Milan's match tonight.
He could learn a lot about enforcing team discipline, shape and tactics that can enable any half decent set of of players to look like a solid team that's capable of beating a superior outfit on paper. That could have been us against Bayern.
i was watching that thinking exactly the same thing.
Can we please stop this with Jack thing now, he's ok, but please pump the brakes, with this over the top blah blah of how great he is.Quote:

This team needs a saviour, yes but jack is not it. last year RVP was essentially the difference between us and the Spuds with his goals. This year Im afraid it will be the great ape banging in goals for their otherwise mediocre team.
I stated that he would be the only player on our team that the scouts would be interested in. Not sure what you've been reading.Quote:

He's one of our best players and very good, but he's a long way from being a real worldbeater and he can't pull us out of a hole when we need it.
He's not having much of an influence over the midfield at the moment. I'm not sure about his positioning at the moment. Maybe he needs to play deeper to have more of an influence. I think we're missing Rosicky in a major way.
95% of the time? That's definitely not some made-up figure you just pulled out of your arse :sarcy:
i think in a more successful team we'd see a more disciplined jack but he recognises that if he doesn't dive into the heart of teams, no-one else around him will. we are definitely not getting the best or seeing the best of him at the moment. that said, what he does offer is still exciting.
i wouldn't mind seeing him deeper, with rosicky at the head of the midfield again. santi has done ok so far but it was noticeable that when tomas came on, he gave instant energy and purpose to what we were doing. in a minute or two he had launched a great ball over to feo, who fed giroud for that volley.
ramsey is used out wide and it never works, so whilst we lose some of rosicky's edge, i'd rather see him out there if wenger wants to set up with an extra midfielder on the wing.
