Can't understand this one
-
Disappointing, has looked good in the two u21 games, especially last week against Mansfield. With Farman, Newsham, Robinson and Dowie strengthening their relative positions we have a decent eleven but maybe room for another winger if we are going to play 442 at some point with only McGhee and Felix comfortable in a wide positon.
-
With too many mid-fielders on the books Jack was the obvious one to go . In the short game time he has played I thought he was very disappointing and lacked the fight a young player for who,s once bright career( at Hull) had recieved a setback .
-
Admittedly I would have liked to have seen jack a bit more in the league but with him going it frees up a little bit of money considering he was on contract

He was under contract and expected to start games. He didn't have a great pre-season, and other players are ahead of him on merit. He wants to play, and will probably drop lower to do this.

Fair comment

He has joined Cleethorpes Town.

Well,he had trials with both Manchester clubs who didn't follow it up and then ended up at Hull,now at Cleethorpes suggests to me that perhaps the early "fame" made him think he had made it and therefore stopped performing to the standard that made those clubs interested in him in the first place... Other than that I cannot comment as I never saw him play....
I know young players in the past have signed for Man Utd only to take 3 steps backwards and end up being sold to lower division clubs so who knows...

News item about him signing on the Cleethorpes Town web site:

It goes both ways. You get some players who are rejected by the big clubs but work their way back up again. Freddy Eastwood started as a West Ham youth player, got released but went to Grays, scored goals, and went back up the leagues via Southend, Wolves and Coventry.

Also remember that the big clubs take on alot of youngsters and very few make it for a Premiership first team. I was talking to Liam Marrs last week and he said that everyone in his year at Sunderland was released pre season. That's twenty or so young lads now looking for a club somewhere down the football ladder. Also slightly off topic Marrs said that he was not on a contract here but is hoping to earn one as soon as possible.

Scored for them tonight at Worksop. Cleethorpes play NFU on Saturday!
