Probably means aurier and sissoko are definitely off before the window closes too , doesn't seem to want to exist without those two holding his hand

What an absolute fucking disaster this signing has been, and I blame him. However talented you are, you don't succeed without hard work too. Look at Ronaldo. Absurdly talented too but what got him to the top and kept him there was his dedication and work ethic.

Be great work getting him out the door. Feck, we could maybe even sign 2 players who are prepared to put the hard work in, and actually want to be here 100k each per week on the saved wages.

Frustrates the feck outta me. Not his fault he was signed for so much, nor what he gets paid, but feck me, that's some outlay we comitted to, and surely any man worth their salt would realise this and do their utmost to repay the belief in them.

Been one big piss take from the off.

Not interested in the "Well Mourinho got him fit" or the "he played loads of games last season".

He's supposedly a professional footballer, he should never, NEVER, have to be told to get fit or in shape.

As for the games, feck the running style, let's not kid ourselves, he coasted through plenty of them and was blowing outta his arse more often than not.

Time for him to saunter off and let's get some players in who actually want to be here and demonstrate as much through their actions.

The report had no quotes, just comments. He's on a journey and will find his feet at a club at some point in his career. It may still happen with us if he decides to stay. He will look back and regret this period of his life if he's not playing. he can tell his children, he didn't play much because I couldn't be bothered-shameful.

Rather have someone much less talented like Nandez who will give 100% for the team and won't have to be carried by others. Shame, has potential to be top 5 creative CM but will never get there.

So that's why we're after Aouar, new playmate to keep him happy.

Coz 200 don't quite cut it.

Disclaimer : Responses along the lines of "money doesn't buy you happiness" are not permitted, maybe Ndombele could give us 150k back per week to show how unhappy he is. Exactly.

With his work ethic, he's unfortunately a luxury. Hard to see who would lay out the kind of money that the club would be looking for in this economic climate.

It’s a pity we don’t have a futsal team (to my knowledge anyway), because he looks like he would excel at futsal and I imagine the smaller pitch and shorter games would suit his strengths.

We couldn't give this guy away at the moment. Is he too dim witted to understand we need a 1/2 season of semi consistent performances to dupe someone into buying him and getting near his salary? What a waster.

Nobody would pay us anywhere near what we'd want or what he'd want in wages. The only way he gets a move is by pulling his finger out and putting in performances. We've been going through this pretty much since the moment he arrived.

Edit; The only vague possibility is a loan to Lyon as part of a deal for Aouar or something similar elsewhere. Pretty unlikely though.
Think youd be surprised how much wed take just to cut our losses.

Where have you guys been all this time ? ? I have been stacking dislikes against this Ifs and when cult for ages now trying to tell this guy i just another lazy adel taarabat. Nuno did the same thing as Poch did when he joined the club by drawing a line for what is acceptable and I already love him for it, that shows nothing is more important than the team or the club. COYS!
