Think he's a young lad who isn't as mentally resilient as he likes to show (for obvious reasons). Reckon us trying to sell him - or him perceiving that - messed with his head and that's why he was shit early on. Then he got the love with the tifo and the contract and he went on a good run again. Then he fucked up and got sent off, everyone slagged him off and he went shit again. 

I reckon it was 'cause he had a brilliant season, got picked for England ahead of Grealish, but only played about 2 minutes the whole tournament, and didn't even get picked for games everyone was saying he should've been in.

 

Southgate really knocked the lads confidence.

 

Plus, nearly all the English wingers had a patchy season – Palmer, Foden, the lot.

 

He'll be back to his best next season after a summer break. We definitely shouldn't sell him, IMO.

I’d sell any player in squad if a serious bid come in of £100m+ 

 

It’s dumb money at that point, where it doesn’t matter how good that one player is, you can strengthen the squad a lot more with £100m that also has greater future impact. 

If our recruitment was as efficient as the best in field there'd always be a silver lining. Seems as though the Executive level hasn't been functioning well for a while. The Staveley situation, we get Ashworth in. I assumed the idea was Ashworth was going to set up the system outside first team management. Scouting, analysis, youth level coaching, have it all streamlined as working towards making the squad as strong as possible and as cost effective as possible to make sure PSR is as little a hinderance as possible. What the hell happened at the top these last few years.
