As someone previously said there's a lot of similarities with Doku and Sterling. He'll get lots of goals, lots of assists and drive us mad loads with his 1st touch and giving the ball away. This him v Jack argument is crazy as to do what we've done we need a squad not just a team. They'll both get plenty of games.
If Jack played Saturday we don't score our 1st but we don't concede either.
Also although i'd love Jack to score more he got a few goals in big games like Arsenal, dippers and rags.

Still developing at 28! That's a stretch. But I agree Jack would be better suited more central, for me he doesn't produce enough from the left. The conundrum is Alvarez has more threat central and is the better option at the moment so when Jack comes back, when played, it will be still on the left.

Agree - Jack is in Pep's first choice team to play on the left

Yes developing under Pep. Stones !!!! Jacks game is nothing like his city first season or his decade at Villa. Think David Villa he came as a superstar from a brilliant Valencia same with Henry. Forget what you’ve done.

Grealish is becoming quite a terror to play against, but in a different way. He loves to wind up opponents (see Savic, Carvahal), very Gazza-ish.
We missed someone like that, we were too nice, imho, and finally this years he showed what he was brought in.

Doku is still a mistery. Don't want to put a "=" between him and Sterling because I think they are different. The Count seems to know what to do when he has a defender in front of him. Not convinced yet, he is a weird one for me, but let's see.
