CVByrne Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think we're good in the holding midfielder department with Sanson, McGinn, Luiz and Nakamba for next season. Position that needs resolving is in no10. We've Barkley who is on loan and Jack plays there when Barkley wasn't fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I saw it too - Nakamba has shown in his last two appearances that we can depend on him more now, so there's definitely been some good to come of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Smith literally said in the post match interview he was being rested as he'd played every minute of the last 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I would have thought that if he has a buy back clause that there is protection for us, a small print that says he cannot be bought for resale/profit purposes. If true and he cannot be sold for say 12 months, how would he cope in their squad, would his value drop. Anyone actually know when this expires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's incredible for his age. Those two are generational talents of which only 4 or 5 exist on the planet at one time (we have one he's 25 and has floppy hair). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappé is incredible, Foden is an amazing talent. Luiz isn't, he is decent, and the original post was trying to compare him to Doyle Hayles etc and then tried to point out what a star he is, this for me just isn't accurate. Luiz is sooo overated in here (Nakamba has been playing better). I really hope he kicks on but he will have to prove it first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's incredible for his age. Those two are generational talents of which only 4 or 5 exist on the planet at one time (we have one he's 25 and has floppy hair). I think that is overly generous IMO....but don't construe that, as me saying, he is no good, because I am not saying that,at all. He has a way to go, to show midfield domination during a game.....he is neat and tidy, make a good pass, has a good eye too.....but in the role he plays, he needs to be more combative and robust....lets hope that comes, if he stays as a No 6. He has done well IMO to get in to the Brazillian team and I am delighted for him, and our club.....would he get in to the England team? I don't think he would, not right now anyway. I want to see a bit more from him...to join in with "Incredible"......He has not won Man of the match on VT and yet you see fit to describe him as "Incredible" but I have to say.....I hope you are right and me wrong.

Maybe we should start signing 30+ Players as they may be cheaper. I mean Ronaldo is 36 so shouldn’t really matter right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
