Fak Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I thought he looked a lot more his usual self over the last month or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don't want any of our top player to leave - and certainly not to fucking City, Arsenal or Liverpool. It's like a punch in the bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I'm in two minds about whether some of his balls are hit and hope or it's the right ball and a player should be there. Maybe a bit of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I still think he owes us one more season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 If he's been that bad just take £50-60m and be done with it. Think he's been a 6 pre-Bruno injury, an 8 since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Sometimes I think we don’t deserve nice things. He’s had a difficult season like everybody but his work rate has been invaluable. Talk about duels percentages in football misses the point, if you run back faster than your opponent and collect the ball first, it’s not a duel. But the attack has been stopped. Sandro does that 2 or 3 times a game. Edited March 15 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcline Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Obviously we don't play the same system as Italy (or didn't, no idea if Gattuso has changed things) but I think it'd be a shame if he left this summer without us having seen him in that LCM position he plays for them, he seems to link brilliantly with Dimarco and has looked top whenever I've seen him there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 His biggest dip in form was when his wife was about to give birth and he picked up an illness he couldn't shift. Some slack passing always riles people up more than it should because it looks shit when he just sprays a pass to no one twice a game, but the net contributions outside those passes are great and it's why he's coveted. 80 mill is fine and all but replacing him with James Garner doesn't move the needle.

Ikon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Also, easy to forget how many god damn games/minutes he’s played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think the level of criticism here isn't really worthy of the backlash, like. His stamina is incredible but on the ball he's been sloppy basically all season. No goals and two assists in the PL is a poor return as well. Agree with @Ikon though, he's played a ludicrous amount of football this season which is likely to be a factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Have to take into account as a team we've not been great this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Personally I rate him despite his poor season and would like him to stay, that seems quite irrelevant though. If he’s agitating for a move and these clubs are interested then he will be going, and it’s up to the club to get him out for as much as possible. I don’t want us to try to cling onto players that don’t want to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earp Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I thought he recently came out and said he was happy here - wanting to be part of the senior leadership group? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 You can post that “if he’s agitating to go” argument in any thread at any time. Yes it’s correct but there’s rarely any evidence it’s happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think he'll stay next season and I also think we'll finish 3rd next season (if we get the summer right and improve the technical ability and our control/possession in games). Yeah only that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I could accept losing Tonali if the money was used to bring back Anderson and help improve the team elsewhere. I would like us to have a more dedicated DM who protects the defense and recycles possession quickly, so many of the goals conceded this season have been from a lack midfield shielding.

Ikon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Anderson would cost more and imo is of lesser quality (slightly better form this season maybe). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
