I think he’s a very decent player and if City want him, it doesn’t bother me how much we are willing to pay for him. We have people paid a lot of money for that responsibility.
Regarding him moving for ambitious reasons; I don’t think that is a slight on Villa who I have the utmost respect for, it’s just a reality of modern football. It is a mixture of ambition in the pursuit of glory and also financial gain.
Jack played for Ireland, like Declan Rice and both chose England at senior level and myself and my mates over here think they were dead right to do it (Regrettably).We could really do with them but look at both of them playing a Euro final and say they were wrong. (Still a few won’t forgive them).
So if either were to move on at club level to better themselves, who can question that decision either. Money is a huge factor in football these days. Success takes investment and individually financial security can be achieved at a very young age with the right decisions in your progression.
If Villa hold on to him, it will be nothing to do with loyalty, it will be a financial calculation versus team build on their part, so questioning a players loyalty these days seems pointless to me.
