Fabrizio…. Mug

it won’t cost him his job though so he can be wrong from the grandstand
 
Still feel he has a place in the team, not as a starter but someone to come on near the end and play tidy strong football. We aren't going to have a bench of world cup winners sat waiting to come on. Winks maybe, just maybe loves the club and is happy to be a part of anything that helps?

I wouldn't be against him staying but as a back-up.
This kills me. It never works out like that though … through whatever reason he always falls into too many minutes of important premier league minutes

there is no reason to have a player that bad In the squad …. Top 4 clubs have far better options for lesser fixtures
 
I personally think JWP is very good but we won't get him, well shouldn't, he means too much to Southampton and I doubt would push for a move

He is amazing at set pieces & unlike Winks battles for everything on the pitch
This is the step up in quality that would leave me to agree that JWP is the squad midfielder that might not get picked for all the cup finals we reach.
Jwp is the type of player you can rely on …. He won’t let you down and he’s uncanny with his set piece delivery.

we couldn’t dare blag them could we …. Cash plus winks !!!!
 
How about you look up stats of Modric and Dembele. Right... they're shit too

Imagine this, there's a hypothetical midfielder that has a sick through ball pass. All he does is split the defence open for the winger or full back to cross the ball to the striker for an easy tap in.
So end of season comes and you're on here calling the guy an absolute shitter for having 0 goals and 0 assists.

Goals / assists don't tell the whole story.
Okay go fill your team with 1 goal 3 assists in 46 matches MFs, good luck.
Just don't complain about mid table finishes.
 
Fitter when he's physically fit, yes. But he's struggled with injuries.
Besides, they are very different in style.
PS! It doesn't take much for a top league player to be fitter than Ndombele :cool:


Lack of fitness and frequent injuries and common bedfellows
 
Great coach, motivator, lacking an eye in the market, that sets aside Ferguson and the like, plus he was shit at squad turnover, grizzling instead of forcing the situation by pushing players onto the market. But he's young.
Accurately summarised, he started of great with the first cull…. But he forms strong friendship bonds which handicaps him from making the correct decision.

fergie was almost psychopathic in how he used to form close relationships… players would run through the proverbial brick wall for him …. Then if he deemed one a weak link for Manchester fc they were gone … totally utilitarian …. No muss no fuss

If we don’t treat this the way we were treated for Romero we’re insane.

vlohovic or Martinez needs to be signed BEFORE we sell Kane. If we can’t get one of those two, simply don’t sell him.

it’s an utter travesty if we don’t have at least one of them with the Kane money. The other striker options are tragic
 
All but the bullshit seems to have gone quiet. What are the most realistic prospects?

Tomiyasu?
Vlahovic?

Everything else seems like pipe dreams (i.e. other stuff has to happen first).

Any reliable word on a mid? Or is it Sissoko and Winks next season?

Donfabulation seems to be able to conjure stuff up, so I'm hopeful we'll have at least one surprise.
I think this has also dawned on the respective Italian clubs. After the usual suspects… these are the only 2 guys who aren’t yet but could step up to the big hitters

hence the talk of a couple 10mill getting added on
