Didn't he claim his family hadn't settled and he wanted to head back up Spain? Be funny to rock up at Chelsea after that, although getting paid up on a six year deal after three months might suit him

He looked fully done at the Euros a few years back, but it seems it was fitness, not age

We're not stuck for a 9, really - although Kane fits that Firmino type who can drop back and facilitate as a 10 just as much as he can play the 9 - we were never lashing out that fee on a player his age though.

Think, especially now, he'll want to go somewhere he starts games

think you meant to type that in your p****hub search

Don't think any sane manager will go to Chelsea, and their losses and missing the CL are going to make the financial side interesting for them now

And what a massive missed opportunity this season has been,

The three relegated lass we got in that summer were great work. Dave Fallows leaving didn't help matters.

Chelsea, mind you. don't look like they'll be the ones to catch us

We're well capable of getting no points from the last 12

I don't think it was too early, they'd have sacked anyone who put the team ahead of Vinicius' feelings

There's a lot more to it. He was given a mandate to modernise the team, to implement his ideas. He wanted the team working hard, he took off Vinicius with 10 mins to go in a game he won against Barca, replaced him with Rodrygo who'd track back a bit more. Vinicius threw the toys out of the pram, and Perez sided with him against Alonso. They wanted a modern manager until they suddenly decided they didn't

Thought he played a few decent long balls on Saturday.

Wish he'd come here and struggle like that

Him ending up at Bayern to compete with Diaz for the left wing would be funny..

That's what footballers cost now. We're just getting old and grumpy about it

is the soleus the bottom part of the footus?

Didn't he point to his achilles on the pitch and mime a snapping motion? Don't think there's much hope.

It got frustrating at the end, but yeah, never any animosity, he'd taken us as far as he could go.

FTFY

Yeah, more of these young managers should start out at big clubs. Then we'd know what they're made of.

Has to. Can't bring him on with 30 mins to go and discover he can't manage extra time Start him, see if he lasts.

He'll tear up the Championship

Thomas Partey has a couple of new ones too, he's running City a close second for number of charges. It's incredibly difficult for football clubs to weigh up the seriousness of the allegations and the moral position against their duty of care to the player and the principle of innocent until proven guilty before choosing the financially beneficial option

We know how bad that can hurt
