My god he even looks more Spanish already :hugoshock:
It's amazing how relatively normal he looks now.
(How the fuck does a millionaire formerly end up with the tragedy of a haircut?)
When asked if Simeone is the best manager
"Right now, for me yes. Obviously you've got some great managers, you've got Klopp, Guardiola, Sean Dyche," he said. "You've got quality managers out there. He's certainly up there."

Sean Dyche???? Think Kieran has been in isolation too long.
Didn't sturridge get a 6 month ban for similar. Stupid certainly, you have to wonder about the circumstances. If you told a mate where you were going and they lumped on is that your fault? I guess so
That was a different game.
We did replace him, just not at the same time he was sold.
He had been wanting to leave for some time, he was done. We might have been honouring an agreement we had made with him whilst convincing him to stay on another season (at least).

I get it, but with hindsight obviously it was a mistake that became a disaster with his eventual “replacement” being NDombele.
I’m sure that Mousa would have stayed if he had known we would play a CL final that season. But there was no way of knowing that our declining team would achieve that miracle.

I get that too but one of the reasons why the team was declining was Dembele himself. Every single year his minutes declined significantly. When he went to China he was still injured and it was sometime before he was playing.
Ndombele was the most perfect replacement, not as good defensively but the better range of passing and similar numbers on dribbles (Dembele was unique, so no like for like). The issue is the manager, Ndombele is not the defensive wall that Jose has in his sides, he's far too attacking for him.
We broke Dembele by not getting a replacement in sooner.
We literally had to throw him out there week after week when we knew his body couldn't cope anymore where it got to the point where at the age of 31, he left us. THIRTY ONE.
That's not old for someone who relies on strength, power and his close control.
Sadly, we are doing the same thing to Harry Kane.

He virtually didn't play at all in Poch's first season
If that's true surely the best result would have been to agree to let him go at the end of the season and in the meantime just play him sparingly. That rotation thing. 60 mins here. 20 mins there. Take a few weekends off.
This isn't me being wise after the event with the CL etc. Top 4 will always be hugely important and it was entirely possible that we'd qualify or miss out by the odd point or even bloody goal difference. Selling him and missing out narrowly, well I can only imagine the shitstorm here.
Aurier offensively doesn’t have bad stats.
The problem isn’t that and Trippier is no better than him in that respect
Totti clueless as usual and using statistics poorly.
