I don't have an issue with them calling offsides. He either is, or he isn't. My gripe is that it took like 3/4 minutes to draw the offsides lines. that, to me, signals that they are looking for just something to overturn.
think Gerrard wanted a wing back like him because he is so attacking. Causes us problems though, because Luiz has to cover for the midfield & it looked like McGinn was tracking back for Digne (and that's not his game)
It was rumored that Barca wanted a mandatory purchase clause inserted & I'm guessing that we wanted to have the flexibility to make sure he performed well so we were after just the "option to buy"
Disagree. I think he’s massively overrated and spending circa 50m on someone else who imo isn’t any better than Dougie is not a good deal. Also specifically his experience playing with a 5 at the back vs 4 at the back is a bit concerning.
if it happens, I’d 100% support him(depending on the possible cases)…. But I think that it would end up being a very bad deal for us (not even mentioning his wages & his interest levels as we’re not a scum 6 side.
Selling Luiz and replacing him with this fella isn’t a good bit of business. This guy won’t cut it here especially factoring in the financial outlay required to purchase.
with both the links to midfielders earlier, I think that the club is expecting him to not sign an extension and is preparing for his departure in the summer
