I think that Fernandes from West Ham is genuinely good. That handball he got away with today was mad, though.

I think it's the speed of Germany. He probably wants to press but can't get near anyone so he's lost confidence to try as much.

I reckon we expected a lot more off the ball from him.

Pressing and Slot really is an oxymoron. Don’t think the team’s lack of understanding of what to do without the ball is down to the individuals, as seen in the nosedive in form that they’ve all had this season, and especially in midfield. Can only hope that is Slotty stays he actually has a plan that will come into fruition next season, but I very much doubt he has a clue.

Handsome fella. Needs to be given priority treatment.

Would have liked to see a 'c' added in the middle of his name

12 goals and 12 assists this season. Never seen him play.

So replace Endo with a first choice 6, get another midfielder, probably Wharton. Sell Endo, jones and mac. Nyoni covers the extra seat and grav covers 6, but is mainly a CM. Good options in the middle as either a 3, or a box 4.

the two wide players are critical. Get those right and we are solid.

Why sell Jones?

Pure profit if he's sold, but I hate the idea of letting him go. Whether he'll take a new contract as a backup player is probably the issue though.

[Frosty Jack]

Any noise that he’s unhappy?

I think he’s another that doesn’t like Slot

If only there was a solution to this

[Conrad]

I'd be offering Jones a new contract.

terrible idea to sell him.

He’s got one year left on his deal and the other bods who also have all one year left want to sell.

It's nuts on so many levels. Home grown, good squad player - just get it done. 

[McBain]

He's probably been told the fraud in charge is staying. If it were me I'd want to leave too were I in his position 

Edit. That's such a terribly written sentence. Dreadful

Yeah absolutely no problem with that if true. It's just a shame (at least for me) when Academy-trained players that are plenty good enough for the first team feel they need to leave 'cos the manager doesn't trust them 

[Benzo-13]

There were leaks he wanted more money and they (the 3 year brains trust) didn’t think he was worth it but the whole lot of them are gone next season. How are they entitled to make decisions with long term bearings. Just so messy.

Yep.  All of this.
