Ah, you just don’t get it at all do you Foxy? ALL players who have been out for a while, suddenly become world beaters and all of their past sins and inadequacies are forgotten/forgiven .
You are of course correct about ‘our Jack’ but my memory is blinded by the fact that he can spot a forward pass. Which is why if played, I would put him at No.10, where he can hurt the opposition. As opposed to a deeper role where he hurts us.
Your argument against does outweigh my argument for, in the cold light of day. But maybe, just maybe, Jack might step up to what could/should be his last chance to prove himself in a Villa shirt. He can spot a pass, cross a ball and he can shoot from range. That’s 3 positives, two more positives than Hutton, Gabby, Elmo, Whelan and Thor, who whilst give their all, offer nothing else with regards a football brain or skill.
