He was Dembele and Wanyama's backup, he was Toby/Jan's backup, he was even Walker/Trippier's backup.
We bought him from Sporting for 5m. He's a Janssen, a Nkoudu, a fucking Wimmer, he should have gone the same way as his peers. Rotting in some second/third tier league hoping to snatch a conference league spot.
Jesus Christ, 2014.He was always more than a back-up:
14/15 - 36 apps
15/16 - 51 apps
16/17 - 48 apps
17/18 - 47 apps
18/19 - 28 apps(*) / 22 missing via illness & injury
Where he came from & for how much matters not in this context.... If it did, Mahrez & Vardy could be added to your list along with all those gems at Brighton people have been lusting over.
We are trying to get this guy to sign an extension.
Let that sink in.
This is what Levy is content with.
Mediocrity and conversational Portuguese.
Hm... I guess you're right. I seem to have completely erased him from my memory. All remember is the long distance goal he scored against city(?).He was always more than a back-up:
14/15 - 36 apps
15/16 - 51 apps
16/17 - 48 apps
17/18 - 47 apps

Don’t think he’ll (want to) go. Might be able to push him out of the door as he’ll need playing time for a last decent contract at 29. However, unless we bring in 3CBs then he’s likely to get minutes.Contract's up in a year. Sell him in the summer for whatever we can get and promote an academy player to the squad. He is the benchmark of mediocrity in this team and is paid handsomely for the privilege.
Not one of these players (bar Harry) should even be discussing an extension until a new coach has had a good look at them.
