What ever he had wrong with him, seems to have ruined a massive prospect. He's about a league 1 player atm.
When I think of the massive chance Jack was given and then he fell ill whilst we were up at Boro. Since then hes been gash. Think about another young boy of only 22 who looks like his career has dived off a cliff too. Jay Roy Grot is still only 22 but we all think of him as being an old hand at Leeds, he still hasn't found a club and is still on our books for another year? Grot was pushed through too quick and in a strange country living by himself with no help from the club. Only wish bielsa had kept him around the 23s for a season to see if anything could be done, but hey Marcelo may have looked at him and saw a weight lifter not a player, who knows. Wonder how Ian Harte feels now after bigging up Clarkes move to the Spuds
I don't feel sorry for footballers of any age Doc. My 23 kid is learning to drive and is a fishmonger.
Got to agree Chesh. One of the best young players I have seen coming through for years. Personally think the whole problem comes down to lifestyle, attitude and what motivates him.
