Great player, good lad.
Heāll dominate the English midfield for years to come. A top top replacement for Lamps.
Seems to be a relatively grounded lad who loves Villa. I just hope some bloodsucking agent doesnāt get his paws into him and he ends up like another Bentley.
He better play for Eire
Oh, I think he is under a lot of pressure to wait for England.
In fairness, as a young Englishman, wearing the White would probably mean more to him than wearing the Green, and certainly would be more lucrative.

He should show some loyalty - he could be a 100 cap irish player or a 5 cap English player
We donāt have the moral ground here, ask Northern Ireland or Scotland 
I donāt recall McGeady McCarthy or Houghton ever playing for Scotland plus NI is a unique situation
Can we just focus on the player himself, without opening this can of worms again?
Until heās pot committed, at which point we can extol the praises of a bona fide Ra man, or crucify the English bastard.
His father is his agent and seems like a decent sort. His brother his brother used frequent one of the biggest Villa forums until Jack broke into the first team and he says his father and the family are Irish to the core . Wouldnāt be massively confident heād declare for Ireland after this little break he has taken to make a decision though. Iām sure Given and Clark will be in his ear giving him a little push every now and then.
@Rintintin - is he really that good? iāve seen very little of him and you couldnāt use yesterday as a barometer, Liverpool (Gerrard) were utter garbage.
Iām on the official Aston Villa and Tiger Tim train from here until May 30th 
- My brother is a massive Villa fan so I understand their pain somewhat- they deserve a big day.
Lambert must be scratching his head tho?

Lambert had them playing an ultra defensive shite, which didnāt suit what is actually a decent attacking team at all. Tiger Tim has unleashed the shackles and reaped the benefits.
If he is scratching his head about that then he should never get a job again.

He is potentially that good. He has been excellent in some cameos but not too involved when brought on at other times. As weāve seen with a lot of these young players who are hyped up so much it becomes too much for them to handle .

My only experience of Villa in the last few years was again Liverpool who Lambert had a very good record against- yeah they were compact but they broke at rapid pace and looked a decent team---- I suppose it is the perfect tactic against Rodgersā Liverpool.

Disappointing attitude to hold to a child of the wild geese of Ireland. There will be conflicts naturally given the situation but given he already declared for Ireland and is now apparently twitching as that prick McIlroy did is disconcerting.
i know mate, he just needs time to decide if he is really irish. i get it.
