Perhaps just coincidence but Cucarella did that same "moving under the player that's off the ground" thing. Can't recall who our's was. 

Very dangerous, deliberate and cowardly. Banned in rugby and rightly so. 


If a player is moving backwards with eyes on ball and a defender jumps over them, I can tolerate that as part of the game. But when someone looks over their shoulder, and deliberately backs into a defender when they’re mid air, it’s dangerous play, and football needs to treat it so.

 

It’s an action that can easily be removed from the game if it’s clamped down. Makes me proper squirm when a player lands on their neck/head after such an incident.

Neto, Cucarella and Jackson were at it from the off. Snidey, cowards challenges. 
 

It was obvious Neto knew he’d been a cunt. Couldn’t apologise and go over to Tino quick enough.

Harry Kane does it a lot. If he can't win it, he'll back into a player.

 

It's one of those things that need to be outlawed from the game. Immediate yellow. It's dangerous.

 

Chelsea are a pretty small team. I think it's a deliberate tactic from the coach. I get the idea of "if you can't win it, make it difficult for the opponent" but those snide back-ins and forearms to the face is too far.

Romano Just said he is City's number 1 target 

 

Can see us only accepting a crazily high fee 

 

Young, genuine world class talent defensively, can play on both sides, tall and rapid, paid £35m for him, 3 years left on deal (I think).

We also have an old Trippier and Krafth as back up, so it isn't like we could just sign a cheap/talented replacement and not expect a drop in performance across the squad 

 

£80m +

We must have decent players at last, based on everyone wants our lot, if we flogged all those, then these teams want, then PIF would have one hell of a return on what they paid for the actual club.

It probably could be a good business decision, but it would go against everything football's about for me.

 

I'm not even sure I'd start him if we had him, Trippier, and Hall all fully fit at the same time, but he's going to be one of the best FBs in world football for a long time to come.

He's so versatile, he can even play as a CB in an emergency. Personally think he's a fantastic player, would hate to see him being sold. I can see why Man City would want him.

Weird one , we paid 40 million for him coming back from a bad injury and he has proven how good he is since then. I reckon it would have to be double that amount for us to think about it but then again surely Man City aren't going to be paying that much for him.

If he were to go, I'd be demanding 100+ million.

 

He can cover LB/RB and has the best years ahead of him.

 

No way should we be entertaining this.

 

Only way we should is if his head is turned and he submits a formal request
