well he says injury from last week.....so he may have picked up a knock in our playoff games or our training

If he picked it up last week, the team should have either said:
1. No, you’re injured so you cannot report for NT duty.
Or
2. You’re not injured too badly, so you can report but you’re not allowed to practice/play unless given 100% clean bill of health.

I would guess #2 took place and he’s simply rehabbing. My fear is that he’ll push though if “close” to having zero pain because that’s what players do to prove they’re tough enough and not injury prone. Hope he is sensible.

true....though NT doctors can "evaluate" him as well and decide if the really is injured not just lying....i still think he wanted to go to still keep that relationship going

We should just start sending our staff out with people to NT training so they aren't damaging our dudes with their wack outdated training techniques. Having to learn new secret handshakes and shit. I bet David got injured on international duty with Spain because he didn't have anybody to spray with his water bottle.

Probably wondering why he's got a weird rash .

Jack's first minutes came today in a 1-0 loss to Cardiff.

Championship. Not looking to optimistic for him to play in PL. Feel bad for the kid, but we sure made out with the transfer fee. Especially when you consider the replacements.

I wouldn’t condemn anybody that doesn’t shine on a Tony Pulis team. That’s like giving Warren Buffet a million dollars of Monopoly money and asking him to go buy a stake in Amazon.

Not saying it’s Jack’s fault. Just saying PL is farther away for him now that it was this winter when he could have transferred directly into it.

Is anyone surprised by this? I like Jack as a person and a player. Love his mother. Watching him through last season, it was quite clear that he wasn't quite at the level everyone was projecting onto him. Especially later in the season.

 

[ALBNYfan]

Championship.

Oops. Wishful thinking on my part for him.

You guys also gotta remember he went from no games for 3 months to joining a team in the heat a promotion race. It's kinda similar to how the vast majority of the time, MLS signees who join in the summer don't make a real impact until their first full season. Jack deserves a full season before being written off as not good enough for that level.

He wasnt anything THAT special at MLS level

He wasnt anything THAT special at MLS level

I think he was for a good part of his first season and for about half of last season.
He dropped off dramatically as the season went on, but we need to remember where he came from. He came from the short college season, to an injury shortened first pro season, to his first full season as a pro. People underestimate how tough it is to adjust to a full 34 game season.

 

[Ulrich]

Define THAT, because he was not outclassed in MLS. He was the second leading scorer for us, and that was on a team of seasoned pros. England tapped him and they’re stacked at his age level.

 

[Kangaroo Jack]

he wasnt taking the league by storm by any means... he was a slightly above average MLS player at most. Did he have room for growth sure, but I personally think he was way over hyped.
