buzz Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Funny to think he missed almost all of his first half season with us through injury. His influence alone in those back to back Leeds/Everton/Villa games were probably worth it alone! More than made up for lost time the following year anyway.

madras Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Cheers fella. Player of the seaaon in his first season here playing about 6 games. Wonder what his plans are, obviously a last pay day but beyond that ? I'd hoped he'd move on to the staff and wouldn't be surprised if he spends some time back with Simeone before moving into coaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 That free-kick against Everton wasn't just one of my favourite goals since the takeover, it provoked possibly my favourite ever post on the forum.

Zero Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 He is arguably our most important player since the take over, another one is Bruno. Man. He is truly a club legend. He saved us from that relegation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Unreal signing especially for the amount we paid for him. His experience and calmness has been brilliant over the years, and he has been a quality signing. Nice one Tripps and best of luck with Serie A or wherever you head to next.

Jordan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Anyone else get the feeling we’re losing a lot of big voices in the dressing room and not replacing them? Could be another reason we’re looking so soft and mentally weak this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've known for sometime we need to bring the average age of the squad down as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote we implement an 'Every man for himself, only the strong survive' approach where temporary alliances are constantly being made and broken as the players stab each other in the back, side and front in the never ending jockeying for position in the tribe.

The College Dropout Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 3 hours ago, Jordan said: Anyone else get the feeling we’re losing a lot of big voices in the dressing room and not replacing them? Could be another reason we’re looking so soft and mentally weak this season. I think this is true. That side that won the league cup has the perfect blend of age. Losing prime Pope, Trippier, Burn, Schar, Lascelles, Krafth and likely Tonali is going to be difficult to replace as a dressing room unit. That I always felt like was the biggest disappointment in not signing Guehi. Like Tonali we were signing a natural leader who would replace what we lose in Schar in the dressing room as well. 2 hours ago, Dr.Spaceman said: We could always adopt a different approach and involve coaches more with that side of things.

Superior Acuña Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 See him cover his face with emotion at the final whistle at 2:10:15. Was so glad he was part of that - it made me sad when we lost the 2023 final thinking key transformational players like him weren't going to get to share in that first cup. Honestly him leaving and thinking about it at all has really put the derby defeat into perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
