Unbelievable

And that’s absolutely fine. He chose that trajectory over becoming first choice for us when we wanted him, so for that reason I’d not pay double what we were quoted at the time for him now, after a year of barely playing.

Whatever. If you go to such a club not yet the finished article you pretty much know what you’re signing up for. Of course they were going to make a move when a world class player became available.

Regarding Trafford, he had his chance to come here and preferred City’s bench, which says a lot about his character. I’d be loath to spend double on him now after a year of bench warming.

Shame

Could argue they wouldn’t be doing theit job very well if they didn’t even. This whole concept of us having to get deals done early and complete them before anyone else finds out is just wishful thinking, at least whilst we’re not the biggest fish in the pond.

Bye bye cunts

Have that for those dirty standoff tactics

Haha

CL 8/10 Cups 7/10 PL 4/10 Average 6/10

Fitting final performance of a turgid season

Urgh

FFS

Wtf ref

A Neave debut, nice

As if it needed discovering, Lewis Hall is not great at right back

At least he did something I suppose

How is that not a booking?

Reliable?

Van Dijk was an infinitely better player at that stage imo, and importantly had the physical attributes to deal with any offensive threat unlike Guehi. I wanted him for NUFC before he even went to Celtic. In any case, we couldn’t even afford Guehi’s wages if we wanted and for that reason alone it’s a silly suggestion to hold him up as someone we should have shown ruthlessness for.

I’ve not followed him at City since he went there, but for me he’s nowhere near world class, which is what the price tag suggests.

Getting Marc fucking Guehi for a 65m transfer fee and/or 300k in wages would be a sign of utter stupidity, not ruthlessness. Him, Wissa, Elanga and all the other overpriced “proven” PL players we should steer far clear from. Let’s focus on bringing in and developing young up and coming, high potential players instead.

Hard to believe you’re saying this and advocating for us to wait until Wissa comes good at the same time in another thread. One is 22, bought for a low fee as a long shot, yet is performing and clearly improving. The other is 29, cost a fortune and has proven to be a failure where he was supposed to be the proven option. If we sell one it very obviously has to be Wissa. We simply cannot afford to have this much money tied up in a player incapable of making an impression even in 10 minute cameos against tired legs.

Bruno and Willock going at each other, wut

I’ve clocked out after the Barcelona and Sunderland games. What has happened between them?

Phew
