BlueSuedeSambas 53,791 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I thought giving him a one year deal would be fine, but that’s mainly because I expected him to play a reduced role. Manage his minutes and roll him out for home games against St Johnstone and the like. For him to be starting games like the one yesterday is seriously concerning, not only because he’s clearly not up to it, but also because it suggests the manger has no faith in Lundstram either and with those two being our defensive midfield options, that’s a serious concern.

I thought signing him up again would be specifically for games like yesterday, surely you don't pay a guy like him the wage he's on just to bring him in against bottom feeder clubs at Ibrox?

Almacger 1,442 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Same old conversations re Jack, gets up to speed then goes out injured. Should never have extended his contract, he’s done. Also, his insistence on still wanting to play for Scotland when he can’t even stay fit enough to play regularly for his club is a fucking joke.

Swagger 7,971 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Jack is done. That and the fact he’s happy to tag along for his five or 10 min Scotland appearances before he gets injured means he has to be punted at the first opportunity AdzKyle and Almacger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s obviously wanting a trip to Germany but I can’t see why he bothers with that shite.

We were toothless up front. Ryan Jack isn't a match winner or a game changer. Who's to say Jack wouldn't have been like the rest of the team today?

JWAC 2,234 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Midfield is our biggest issue and has been for a long time. Up front we have players with pace but we are slow and ponderous in midfield in the transition rather than getting the ball forward quickly. I've been saying for a long that Lundstram will never be good enough, he either passes back, holds it then passes sideways or gives it away. When Clement came in he said he wanted players to take more risks, not stupid risks but not take the safe route either, I think or hope Clement knows Lundstram will never be that. I'm not saying Raskin is the answer as he's been poor too but he does try and transition into attack. Next summer our midfield needs upgraded and I don't see either Jack or Lundstram being part of that 32Blue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,920 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Jack could have a role to play with us but he needs to retire from international football. Once again he has went away and came back in a condition that sees him unavailable for his club. Albertz85 and Bad Robot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
