avfc1982am Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 He's calm, smooth, precise, and just glides around the pitch bossing games now. He just always sees his next move or two before receiving the ball. He doesn't even have to move fast because it's like time slows for him. Such an elegant player. What a gem we have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 We have to try to finish in the top 5 this season to keep the likes of him. He's genuinely world class. If not now then by the end of the season surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Not at all worried about any interest from Spuds. Arsenal could be more problematic but I can't see them spending big on another midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was going to go to Arsenal it would've been in January, but no chance now imo after signing a new deal. As for Spurs, that is surely just a joke by FI, nobody of any seriousness or non-spurs bias would see him going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I think we might listen to offers for him next year or year after as he'll be into final 2 years and 1 year of his contract then. I can't see any way he'd move this summer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then, I can't see him wanting to join a club like Spurs or Arsenal, who undoubtably by then, will be becoming increasingly familiar with looking up at us in the league table.

Tom13 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Always been a big fan of his - technically superb, very intelligent. But since Emery has come in - he wins more duels than ever now. Combination of giving him the belief and telling him how to go about contesting them I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd offer him a new contract at the end of this season, like we did with Watkins and McGinn when they were approaching the final 2 years. If he's keen to move on to a bigger consistent CL club then that's ok we'll bank a very big fee and we need to move to the acceptance of a top player or two moving on in next couple of years.

I don't think that we do. I would like to think that we will soon reach the point where our best players, are well rewarded and are happy to stay with us, because we are doing as well, as the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, if not better. If PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid or Citeh come calling, then a player may well be tempted, but top clubs don't meekly accept selling their best players, they buy other teams best players, to become an even better team. Hopefully that is something that we will have to grow accustomed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually the ones that say “Villa spent £20 million on emi Martinez and would want at least that much back for him” when in reality we all know it would require closer to £120 million to tempt us. Same with dougie and this rubbish, spurs are a nothing side and generally a laughing stock. Arsenal could be more realistic if they hadn’t just spent over £100 million on rice and nearly as much as havertz. I imagine with 3 years left on his deal we would want a minimum of £75-80 million and I don’t see that coming from arsenal. Most likely is we offer him a huge wage bump to sign another couple of years extension 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
