He's been injured for most of his career. Hopefully it's "growing pains" because he's pretty massive, but when someone gets injured that much, it normally means that they're cooked and are going to end up retiring at 25.
They knew that Mo would tail off last season when they offered him a mega contract and let Slot stay last season even though they knew he'd be crap because he'd still get into the Champions League and we'd be more grateful when they got Iraola. Or something like that.
Meffs.
I'd keep Elliot, Salah, Robbo, and Curtis if we had the choice. We don't have the numbers in our squad and they're all proven reliable players, even if we could sign better. It's not good for the team building to have such massive churn.
Now that James Milner has retired, next season will be the first since 1956/57 where no players managed by Bobby Robson play in the English top flight.
