Wow has he been poor lately.
I just think he saved up all of his energy for our key run of games, he was utterly sublime, Jan thru to Chelsea at the beginning of April, there were massive games during that time the likes of Juve, Liverpool, Woolwich, Chelsea, Utd where his was probably the best player on the park in all these games. He was one of the reasons why we were so good in that opening 20mins against Utd. in the semi-final, then he went in for a big challenge won the ball but clearly injured himself, he wasn't the same the second after that challenge and nor were we as a team.Gone off the boil since Pochettino put him in the Maradona bracket.
I have not seen a player who does what he does so well. He protects the ball like it’s super glued to his feet. Players know what he’s going to do and still can’t stop it happening. He is that good, & that powerful. An absolute Rolls Royce of a footballer. He needs to be wrapped in cotton wool because of all the possible replacements, none of them can do what he does so well.I just think he saved up all of his energy for our key run of games, he was utterly sublime, Jan thru to Chelsea at the beginning of April, there were massive games during that time the likes of Juve, Liverpool, Woolwich, Chelsea, Utd where his was probably the best player on the park in all these games.

It's why I'd hate to see him leave more than any player, we should build him his own chamber in the new player player lodge, feed him grapes by hand and pamper to his every whim. Roll him out for these big games and just ask him to look after the ball.
As did Marcus Edwards when Poch compared him to Messi...Gone off the boil since Pochettino put him in the Maradona bracket.
Gary Doherty & Bobby Mimms...& folk have the brass bollocks to complain about what we have now...As did Marcus Edwards when Poch compared him to Messi...
Can't he just leave well alone...?
or at least just compare Kane with Gary Doherty... and Lloris to Bobby Mimms??
FAR less pressure imho!
I completely understand if he does go, it is full on with us, full on high tempo games (when we are clicking) but full on full tempo training in order to get selected. If he's carrying a number of issues with his hips and feet then maybe he's done, maybe he can get a massive fuck off pay check in China and play against dross week in, week out. All played at a pace thats; easy and he can boss the entire league. Must be appealing.I have not seen a player who does what he does so well. He protects the ball like it’s super glued to his feet.

I just hope that he stays for another couple of years so that others can continue to try and learn from his unique talents.
I’d keep him just for CL (assuming we get there) & the cups. Assuming he could retain his match fitness, he is the sort of player that you just have confidence in not to lose the ball. That’s why getting his pocket picked by Pogba was such a shock and leads me to conclude he twisted or strained something.I completely understand if he does go, it is full on with us, full on high tempo games (when we are clicking) but full on full tempo training in order to get selected.

But if we could just unleash him for 10 massive games in the season? Please Mousa, just 10 games a year, lol.
