I just see him as the kinda guy who would want to get as many minutes as possible in his playing career, especially as his early years were blighted by injury. He's commented on that frustration himself as well and said how Konsa had played more games than him despite being younger.
But hey, who knows! Hopefully he stays with us and continues to play a big part.
No but if he's not starting our most important games he might want to move. I can't see him being content not being an important figure. He's too driven.
Yeah, it's so easy for us as fans to just view players as numbers. When someone moves here from another country they're uprooting their whole life. Yeah I know they're paid very well before someone counters with that, but it can still be very difficult to adjust.
Not sure about this at all. He probably encourages the risky passes and has a well enough structured side to have a good chance of recovering the ball if/when they don't come off. He knew all about what his game's about from Villarreal.
That's a baffling view. His passing creates so many positive situations for us. He not only spots passes that others wouldn't but also executes them. Mings was fine on the ball, Pau is a completely different level though.
Anyway, as a pair, who in the world would you swap Dougie and Kamara for? Modric and Kroos are getting on, I know Real have a fair few others coming through though. Outside of that though there can't be many. I wouldn't swap for any pair in the PL.
