Thank F for that

I wonder if they would welcome him back down the road. Although a lot would call him a traitor he's probably better than most they have still on the books and he'd be relatively cheap.Quote:

He tried for us at the very least and he done a lot of the dirty work. It's just a shame he didn't have much else to offer to go with it.
How come Ghost? Did you read something or do you have a hunch? I'd say it's rare that a player goes on to represent all three big North East clubs in his career, but it's not a bad shout when it comes to Jackie.Quote:

A hunch basically. I just have a feeling that they need a bit of bite and a bit of instant blend in, which being the north east will be almost effortlessly for Jack and Boro alike.Quote:

Whichever way it's looked at, he's got to be on 35 to 40 grand a week for us, so Boro would have to at least offer around the 30 grand mark, I would think...and maybe a decent length of contract for him to actually give up his final 2 years at the rate he's on.
I reckon 5 million should secure his services for any budding buyers and I think Boro would be more than happy to actually broker that deal.
All absolute speculation from me with no real back up for my stance.
Yep, it would probably be a good deal for all, as I can't see him going back to Sunderland.Quote:
