I'll always hold Raheem higher above Jack in my personal City rankings, but it's the way you talk about Jack with such hate that confuses me. If someone so much as questions Raheem you come flying in telling them off but god forbid anyone defends Jack in this thread - they can feel your wrath coming before it arrives.
Jack didn't play or score as much last season as he should have done, but he still scored the winner at Luton that stopped the mini-slide we'd been on, and he scored goals that got valuable points against Palace and Spurs - goals that, when it all adds up, made a difference at the end of the season and definitely helped the team.
You talk about him like he's another Danny Mills, Steve McManaman type, who just turned up to the club to do nothing except sit on his arse and collect a massive wage. He's not fully delivered on his potential but he contributed a whole lot to the three most special afternoons and nights in City's entire history in 2023.
Alright, fine, you can doubt his quality on the pitch and question his attitude a bit, but you can't say Jack hasn't taken City to his heart. Villa will always be his club but that's to be expected. He's adopted us and we've adopted him and he clearly has great affection for us as fans, Manchester as a whole, and for its people.
When he leaves City, he will still be a treble winner forever. Not just someone who got medals by being part of the squad - he was an important part of the team and started every game that took us to the very pinnacle of the entire sport. When people look back at these times in 30, 40, or 50 years, Jack's name will be part of it.
And you'll just be there... calling him names.
