Watch this of Gundogan and tell me that this isn't exactly like watching one of Jack's performances for Cambuur.
Obviously Gundogan is at a much higher level and Jack's got a way to go, but stylistically it's nearly identical. Even down to the physique and the way they move. I find that REALLY encouraging personally. If Pep likes Gundogan, then he must surely like the way Jack goes about his game.
The way Gundogan makes space for himself is a joy to behold. Before he's even in possession of the ball he's already changing direction to give himself time and space to make his next move - be it a carry, a quick one-two, a through ball or a 40 yard crossfield pass. So intelligent and technically gifted. Not only that he's full of bite and energy, a true all rounder.
The Byrne comparison stylistically I hadn't realised but it's definitely there. Imagine how much he could learn and improve training and playing with Gundogan every day.
