Can actually see him replacing son. Don't think Poch likes him too muchZaha has been brilliant this season and gets you off your seat! Would be pleased with this!
Is it August again?
He had to convince Son to stay in the summer, and Son started all of our CL games, and 10/14 PL games (he missed 2 due to the Olympics). Not really indicative of a player not being liked by the manager.Can actually see him replacing son. Don't think Poch likes him too much
We shall see. Like son but he's very frustrating and I think poch likes some things he can do, but can stillHe had to convince Son to stay in the summer, and Son started all of our CL games, and 10/14 PL games (he missed 2 due to the Olympics). Not really indicative of a player not being liked by the manager.
Is that because of the players around him or the management and coaching though? I admit there's not really anyway of knowing unless he actually played for a club like us but I think at United he was unfortunate as Fergie brought him in but was unwilling to risk him as they were heading towards the title, next Moyesy comes in and barely gives the lad a chance (or at least doesn't use him to his full effect).Plays well one in 5. Pass.
Can't we just throw money at Leicester for Mahrez?
My gut feeling is that Son's place at The Lane is very vulnerable. He's capable of the outrageous, but I would imagine that he boils Poch's blood with his timidity alone.He had to convince Son to stay in the summer, and Son started all of our CL games, and 10/14 PL games (he missed 2 due to the Olympics).

So why didn't Poch let Son go?My gut feeling is that Son's place at The Lane is very vulnerable. He's capable of the outrageous, but I would imagine that he boils Poch's blood with his timidity alone.
I find it hard to know for sure, but I think it might have come down to a lack of alternatives. I thought Son was going to be the Asian Ronaldo after the way he started the season for us, but he's gone back to be being very unreliable. Is his confidence extremely brittle? It could be a factor. If you look at how he jumped out of Peter Cech's way a few weeks back and the missed 1v1 against Monaco, it would sum up a lot of his time with us. There's a lack of aggression in his game which bothers me.So why didn't Poch let Son go?
As I said before inconsistency has blighted him, and his confidence was very brittle post his United nightmare. It's almost as if the fact that Poch wanted him so much has given him a shot in the arm, as he's lifted his game so much this year. Been involved in 7 goals either assisting or scoring in his last 7 games, which is very good for a wide man.Is that because of the players around him or the management and coaching though?

He may have been a better option than GKN as he would have had a more immediate impact t least.
