My two cents on it. No one would be happier than us to see him stay despite the amount. Im 100% sure his heart says stay without a single doubt, but his head might tell him differently because he isn’t 21 anymore. IF the clause is met I’m sure he will be torn about it big time. IF he leaves I will be gutted but also positive at the same time and see what we can use that money for to strengthen the collective. He is irreplaceable as an individual, but even more as a character with his personality and mentality. He can leave with his head held high, no question about it. I think he might stay though. If he does leave then I’m ok with him playing for most teams but not any of the red shirted cunts. Rather sell him to PSG for 50m. Kind of…Hopefully it’s abroad at least. I’m “ok” with City, at worst.

At least whatever bastards won’t be able to sign him late in the window just to fuck around with us. I guess that’s something good about it (hypothetically speaking)

Eat worms you little weasel cunt.

Me too! Would be perfect for us. The ONLY thing that has made me doubt him is that he’s injured quite often. He might want CL football though. Would like him in front of Tonali and Bruno. Not sure Howe would though.

If injured then why the fuck is he playing? I’d rather have a cone in there. I even think Hall would do better than a cone in midfield so play him.

Maybe not, you’re probably right, but I REALLY think we should. I said so even before the season started.

I insist, even if Tonali and Joelinton will be back I think we have to sign a high quality midfielder with great technical ability. Imo an attacking one. We have no playing depth and the space is often too big between midfield and attack. Yes a ball playing CB and playing our more technical fullbacks would also help.

Not sure why we have been so deep today from the off. Especially with such limited footballers overall from midfield to Dubs (bar Bruno). We always struggle to take control of possession once we try from a deep position. Not enough technical quality to play out from a press.

Piss poor tonight. Good night! Ciao I’m going to fucking bed now. Passive from us all game. Not enough bravery in any department.

No subs until it’s 2-0? 2 subs now at least.

If we were to sit deep then we need players better on the ball on the pitch. Especially with their pressing.

Barnes has been piss poor today too amongst others. Subs now please!

Why are you there Burn???

I think we will be much improved 2nd half. I would put Tino on. If he gets crowded he can carry the ball out if certain situations.

1st player gets the ball, takes a bit too long until the pass comes. Next man receives it and also takes a little bit too long and the third gets it in a situation where it’s next to impossible to keep possession anymore.
