From the pictures, it looks like Jack has come back in ridiculous shape and ready to work, which speaks volumes for him. Whether that is enough to rebuild Pep’s trust or simply helps move him along remains to be seen.
With Claudio heading to Spain, and Grealish s HG status, it remains to be seen whether he has the time to change opinions. If he does, more power to him!
Indeed, if what we are hearing about Pep’s plans for the team this year are true, it might greatly enhance Jack’s game and make him far more valuable than he has felt over the last few seasons.
I wish him nothing but the best, as he’s clearly a well-liked lad, but he has to meld his personal life with his professional life to progress from here, and the birth of his first child MIGHT be just the thing he needed to stay away from the booze for a few more years and possibly reach his potential.
While many might say he’s no spring chicken, as he approaches 30, that can be the prime of his life given his affinity for being in immaculate shape for the season.
Good luck to him! And us!
P.S. After the way Levy treated us with Kane, he needs to be bent over if he asks about Jack!
