We only have 3 or 4 outfield players who can return that figure, certainly at the upper end. 

Jack's not one, 

And he never will be one.

Where does that come from?

We're half way through the season and he's had 16 appearances. He will make over 30 appearances this season, same as he did last season.

He has always played at least 21 games a season. 

 

He has played 16 this season at the halfway point.

How many games has he started?

Is that 16 starts or appearances? We've played about 35 competitive games this season.

He has played about 10 full matches worth of minutes this season. 

 

Like I said at the outset, if he can play about 20-30 games it's worth keeping him around.

Fair play but I think we need to move on. I also think Clement will see it this way based on his comments about availability.

I read this same thing a year ago about Ryan Jack but he made 36 appearances for Rangers and 4 international appearances. Going by the way he was dismissed as a permanent crock you'd have thought he hadn't played half those games. In the first half of this season he's had 17 appearances and about 900 minutes for Rangers.

 

Given his age and injuries he will never again play 40 full games a season. We all know that. The question is whether 20 - 30 appearances by a really good midfielder justifies one more season on appropriate financial terms, given the current state of our squad and our c continuing affliction with injuries.

 

Personally, I think he will move on and probably play 30 games for another SPFL side.

If we sign Gabriel Batistuta and de age him 30 years we’ll have a striker on our hands.

 

Just as likley as getting Jack fit consistently.

Possibly but we need to move on.

Jack has played at least 21 games in every season for us. 

 

I'll expect a de-aged Batistuta at Auchenhowie on the morrow!
