Maybe his family want to speak Spanish but footballers forget that pretty quick if the money is good enough. Saudi weather is shit and nobody speaks Spanish
Maybe earlier on in negotiations not when man u made it clear they were serious
Easier said then done. Only way is if Frank and Lange say he isnt in their plans and wont play but how do you that to Son? Really does amplify the folly of dishing out these extensions. Both Son and Davies should have been allowed frees due to their length of service. I'm sure the club do it as they either get a fee if they can sell or it means they dont have to spend as the squads packed. Win win for them.
Just have a frank conversation with him and let him know the club needs to move him on for it's own good and deal with the transition this year instead of having another year of declining performance.
If Levy could fire Ange after a European trophy then it shows the club is objective and not driven by emotions.
I think he can still be useful off the bench, the question is whether Frank has the balls to bench him.
Are you having a stroke?
Is that a Frank conversation because Thomas Frank is having it? Or because Thomas Frank is discussing it in a Frank way?
I was naive enough to once believe in DL and Enic.
Build a stadia and facilities to attract top players.
Use the side hustle revenue from that stadia to pay for those players and finally look to become a consistent top European club, the 20 year plan had been completed. (please don't quote our Europa League win).
What I now realise is that under Enic we will continue to put the shareholders and board members first, penny pinching on the on field activities, continuing to make us nothing more than an average club in the scheme of things.

Now you've seen it, you won't be able to unsee it. Its in everything they do.
People were talking like it was a given he was going.
The story went that he was willing to reject a move if we put him on a contract worth the same as our highest paid player(s) at the time. But good old Damien Comolli said to Levy "no, let him go, we can get good money and replace him with an even better player"
Whether or not he would have stayed is anyones guess. He could have hung around for a year or 2 and still left as he was easily good enough to play for any big team.
Any way.
That better player was Zokora.
We lost one of the best midfielders of the premier league era.
And signed Zokora.
I'm buzzing for the new season
Born in north of England and delighted when ManU wanted him after seeing him play at Spurs for one season - so he went to ManU and spent rest of his career there.
We bought him from Wham for about £3.5m where he was often on bench, Jol playedc him all the time and we sold him for £16m - and used £11m to buy Berbatov who was a fabulous player for us until ManU wanted him for £30m
So Carrick worked out well for us.
Have you replaced your Romero shirt with a Kudos one yet? In the new Black "In Darkness we Dare" kit.
I think Levy is just pre warning us he's not paying for the floodlights this season
Frank's system is different than Postecoglou's and Son will play better in it. He won't reverse the hands of time, but he will likely get more opportunity to do the things he does best. Unless Spurs were going to bring in a world beater at his position, and it doesn't look like that is in the cards, then having him on the squad for another season is not a bad thing.
Another disingenuous weasling.
You know I'm right about your utter hypocrisy and addiction to writing fan fiction, but you carry on.
I mean that isn't true at all and the whole idea was that he could play the goal-happy role Kyogo Furuhashi had at Celtic, but whatever.
