Every side needs a consistent 7/10 Every game.
This in abundance - it's only about; progression, winning games, and getting trophies back to where they belong.I would replace every single player in every position if someone better came along. Its all about stepping up every season and improving all over the pitch.
I would play kamara in jacks position and get another midfielder who can drive forward with the ball and shoot from outside the box because a midfield 3 of jack kamara and Davis isn’t getting us many goals.Jack is the one who allows them to play the way they do with the protection he offers. If we can get an upgrade on him that's great but it's not the first place we should be looking considering we will have 2 cbs once the season finishes and 1 gecent striker if morelos leaves.
What do people want from a defensive/screening midfielder?
He covers every blade. Sniffs our dangers. Recycled possession. Offers some dig in the tackle.
I’m a bit perplexed as to this wave of negativity surrounding Jack’s role.

Veretout is linked with a move to Napoli rumoured to be 27m euros think you might have to lower your expectations a little.Was chatting about this last night to my uncle. We (Rangers fans) talk a lot about having two or three first team players coming in to really turn this squad into a title winning squad, there's really a universal opinion - that I agree with - that says we need these two or three players to be first picks so who would they dislodge?
I see these players as LB, CM and CAM. The first explains itself, takes the LB role which nobody has nailed down. The CAM role would be Ryan Kent and if we don't get him then someone of that ilk creatively. (Obv a fourth is a striker if we lose Alfie)
The CM role though has me thinking who makes way? To really become that squad that not only challenges for the league but takes it down needs a team that consistently hits 8-9/10 across the board say 70% of the time. Although Jack is capable of that level of performance, I'm not sure if he's capable of that level of consistency.
Davis and Kamara are, I can see that but I'm not sure if Jack is.
He can be a motm, he can be a 8/10 9/10 or 10/10 but looking back he's probably a 7/10 more consistently, with the occasional burst into the top range.
Im starting to think he's the one that could be at risk. Would we be a better team with a midfield three of Davis, Kamara and say a Lucas Leiva / Sebastian Rudy / Steven Zuber / Thomas Delenay / Jordan Veretout (all of which I see as achievable signings) and would their quality be able to hit that 8-9-10/10 consistently level that Jack doesn't.
Listen I love the guy, he's been brilliant for us and maybe I'm wrong but I think Davis and Kamara have the ability to be higher performers consistently - and this isn't to say Jack can't be a high performer, I just doubt the ability of that level consistently.
Been a great signing up til now. But what about from now?
Where did I slag him? Disagree, absolutely but don't make shit up.Another slag Ryan Jack thread. Think third one this week. With the same suspects.
People who watch the game not the call realise what work he does. Interesting how Kamara looks so much better than he did at Dundee. A lot of that is playing beside a consistent performer in Ryan Jack
Confident he will start next season. If he was foreign name same people would rave about him.
If anything it’s Ryan Jack who needsI like Jack and certainly think he does a job. But I also think we need a better player than him in beside Davis and kamara.
Are you saying that jack is a better player than Steven Davis?If anything it’s Ryan Jack who needs

The moment you stop thinking like this is the moment you stop moving forward.I would replace every single player in every position if someone better came along. Its all about stepping up every season and improving all over the pitch.

Need to agree to disagree there . Imo he's the weaker of the 3If anything it’s Ryan Jack who needs

You can see even now that Davis is a level above Ryan jack.Not at his peak no-RJ would be nowhere near SD but now? And indeed next season?
Genuinely think he’s the most underrated player in our team, on Sunday he covered every single blade of grass and enabled us to win ball back in all the key areas
Just goes about his work without any fuss
De Rossi's leaving Roma eh...
Every team needs a jack,Kamara has played a few good games and some are holding him up as the next big thing,granted he’s played well but some of the praise being lavished on him is a bit over the top.coulibaly anyone..
And is going to get 300k a week at PSGAnder Herrra is out of contract
The trophy cabinet is evidence of the witch-hunt against us and having a poor manager in place for two years in the top flight.Need to up it a level.
The trophy cabinet is evidence that we need to improve in key areas. IMO, Jack is one of these.
Coulibaly played a few good games and this place went right over the top,get him signed up etc.im not questioning Kamara contribution but let’s not get ahead of ourselvesA few good games?
Kamara has been fantastic for almost half a season and is in a totally different class to Coulibaly.

12 games he’s played,Im not disagreeing with you.did people not say this stuff bout coulibaly also?But he's been tremendous for half a season, not a few games.
Nobody's getting ahead of themselves, Kamara is a class act and will only get better.

What’s your take on Ryan jack?Coulibaly looked solid early on and some people went over the top, that's true.
I never got the impression that people thought he was a particularly talented footballer, because quite simply he never showed anywhere near the ability on the ball that Kamara has, even in those early days.
