It still does which is sad in this day and age. You got Irish players ruling out a move to Rangers for whatever reason. Some do play for Rangers but those players are few and far between. Only recently has any Republic Of Ireland players have played for Rangers in Jon Daly he got capped at under age level. Also in the current squad is Rob Kiernan who like Daly played under age football for Ireland. Also Alan Judge who has played for the senior Irish team was asked if he would be interested in teaming up with Rangers boss and he stated he would be killed if he went to play for Rangers by his mates. So for any Irish man to play up there you would need balls of steel for Rangers. As they would be slated by all there friends and family it seems.

Less so these days. But he would be better off playing for Celtic.

Training in Ireland, if you follow the @ trail. But thrilled to see he's just going straight back into it.

I try to guard my hopes & expectations for youth prospects, but it's difficult for me on this one. Really feel like Jack is determined to get where he's going.
 
Fantastic news he's not going to be working with those gobshite fucking morons & will be working with Pep Guardiola instead.

Apart from the big money stars, half the players who go to the euros, of any age, are putting their City careers in the balance imo. If Pep finds someone to do the job he wants, who he's really happy with, that player will start. Be great if Denayer didn't go & Sterling picked up a niggle.

Jack's got it spot on here. Work hard, show the boss what you can do. Good luck to him.

I think his chances have gone up 100% not being hijacked by those clueless tossers.

me too mate from the moment i saw him play i thought he had an eye for a pass and control aggression,

i had the feeling he would make it that i never really got with say an angelino or barker

time will tell, its getting harder and harder because where we want to go, the players have to be the very best just to get a good run of games

Spurs had the exact same predicament before Poch came along... there are maybe 3/4 within that squad who could quite easily be playing in the lower leagues if it wasn't for him, Kane included. There will be the same sort of impact here, a coach who can elevate players and have us all wondering 'where the fuck did he come from'..... Byrne's attitude here is great, i'd love it if he was one of them!!!!

Totally agree. If you really want to impress the manager you turn up for pre-season having already hit the ground running. And there's no harm promoting yourself working hard over the summer on social media. Much better than than tweeting your off to Shagaluf.

I think Pep will like Jack and can see him getting a lot of attention in pre-season. He's clearly progressive if you look at where he was 12 months ago compared to now, can he step it up a level again.
 
Is it just me that feels that Pep will love him? Works hard, is clearly dedicated not to mention his ability on the ball.

I hope he's given a chance, surely after great 1st professional season he at least deserves to go on tour with us. I really like the look of him, hard worker, battles for the ball and surprising more creative than I expected.
 
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.

You could easily see them playing in a midfield two together, lot's of energy, hard work and creative passes mixed up.

The thing is, when Gundogan gets the ball, he's surrounded by class players all making angles, giving him short pass options & running off the ball. When Jack gets it, he's surrounded by the opposition.

So he picks out runners 40 yards further away. In City's team, he could be passing to Gundogan.

If both players produce that level, then the likes of Silva & Nasri have to up their game.
