Can’t really complain about this one on a free. I mean, some people can I suppose. At worst a very useful squad option when fit.

It’s way worse than the Championship imo.

I think the narrative that TAA is a bad defender is a really overblown one. I think he’s a decent defender, all things considered; it’s Liverpool’s tactics and the fact that he’s up the pitch contributing to attacks a lot that can sometimes leave him exposed.

“Member of the Saudi Royal family” is so vague. Could be anyone from a billionaire to- like a mate of mine who’s also a member of the Royal family- a primary school teacher. No disrespect to primary school teachers btw.

No Feyenoord fan I’ve spoken to rates him particularly highly. We’d be mad not to sell for 40m imo.

They’re just trying to spend what they want and going through every loophole to do it. It’s not pretty but you can’t hate what Chelsea are doing but still want to kick off our own PSR shackles at the same time.

Thought the rumoured number was like 6 odd million, no?

We’ve so many great players that could play in that 10 position. He’s amazing when on form but the lack of versatility has cost him a place here.

Yep. Bad one.

Gonna say Shrewsbury so all the old-head forumites think I’m hip.

He was world-class and decided to join a nigh-on relegated club in January, taking a pay-cut. Saved us, was a great leader and played a massive part in getting us into the UCL Yes he’s had a wobbly few months but it sucks that fans scream for players like Bruno etc. to show us some loyalty yet the moment a player falters a little bit we’re so quick to try to bury them and move on. Despite his age, he’s still got so much to offer us imo.

Literally the best right-back I’ve ever seen play for us and it’s not even close. Only a few months ago he was rightly being argued as being the best right-back in a league with the best right-backs in the world.

Christ.

That’s a real shame and will affect our summer in a big way. Not a transformative player by any means but would have meant more funds for the other holes in the first team.

I’m not his biggest fan but that’s pretty harsh. He was our 4th highest top scorer

Just seen the result. Ugh. Of course.

I don’t know if he’s still the same player after all those setbacks (he’s generally looked quite poor this season despite being more available) but if- and it’s a huge if- Howe can get him back to the player he was a few years ago then 25m would be very solid business.

Second-hand info here (from these Roma fans) so apologies if it’s wide of the mark but the general theme of their arguments were that he was just a Mourinho yes-man that added nothing significant of his own to the table.

Thank goodness he’s not an option for us anymore. He was fairly useless from what I heard from Roma fans.

No pen? I’m fucking way behind. Christ.

I’ll hunt you for sport if you don’t turn this off now.

Oh ffs.

How?

Christ, can this dope give out a yellow one time.

3?!!! Yeeeehh
