I bet that RB we’ve got out there on loan is one of them
Put the party poppers back in the box, people
“We are still a big club, we can compete on wages and London is attractive”
Not so fun when it’s what forces players to stay is it
This is an awful situation. Carrying players who are not needed or wanted. Taking an early look at Soares seems the clubs not learning. Giving four year contracts out to players struggling at mid table clubs is compounding progress.
Just how much is he on
It was always going to turn out like this unfortunately. Big waste of money and wages, he wasn’t good enough when we signed him.
Hes heavy and slow and will age very quickly with his build in the PL.
He said it himself, if he is not wanted he’ll go.
Tbf, that was pre-corona though, maybe his mindset has changed.
I can’t think of a better time to leave the UK to live in Germany
I wish Papa got some minutes since the restart. Not sure exactly what the situation is(keeping him injury free to sell, freezing him out to force him to leave or doesn’t fit with the 3atb we play) but he’s still a better choice than Holding.
Probably also to do with giving match experience to players who will be here next season. He clearly doesn’t see Sokratis’ future here
I’d play him in the final.
Never understood that mentality tbh. You play your best players to get the best results. Am I missing something? That’s why Ceballos is playing now.
Agreed to an extent, but when you have nothing games at the end of the season which don’t make any difference to getting into Europe etc then you could argue match experience is more important.
COVID-19 a reality check for Papa. Sit on that contract boss.
I don’t understand why we aren’t using him to be honest, he’s not the greatest defender alive but I consider him better than Mustafi and Holding.
Ffs players sitting around this club that aren’t part of the manager’s plans. Throw in a Soares and possible departure of Auba and it’s bloody drastic.
It’s like Wenger never left
He’s much better than Holding. Surprised he’s been frozen out. I don’t ever remember him being that woeful on the ball.
