I have to agree with this. He is where he is now because of the way Villa nurtured him, especially Dean Smith. He really knew how to get the best out of Jack.I just find it quite funny the way pundits and football fans on social talk about him now. When he was playing for Villa he was a f*cking cheat for diving, wasn't that great, etc. but as soon as he signed for City they talk about him as if he is the best player in the league. He was a great player before, he will probably improve and become even better when you play next to players like KDB you must improve for sure, but he has trained with them for a week, he has not become a complete new player on such a short amount of time.
He will improve under Pep but he isn’t shit to begin with. Pundits talks about him playing in midfield as if he didn’t ever step into that position at all for Villa
