If this is true then I'm not disappointed from a squad perspective, but can't help feeling sorry for Colback. He's going to take dog's abuse from Sunderland fans for this.
Can't see Rafa being so blinded personally. Unless our bid for Dele Ali has been accepted and he racks up on Sunday for the opener.
Think it's just about needing players out the door to free up some funds, if Saviet isn't gone yet I guess Ginger is a more sale-able asset and probably on bigger wages so can see the logic to it even if I'd prefer to keep him and sell Diame and Saviet.
Must stress in an ideal world all three would be out on their arse and a classy CM bought in but fear that's a bit to ambitious
Yeah, seen quite a few reports now. He's not our worst midfielder, but might be the most saleable as GTA said. If it takes us selling him to bring in an improvement then I'm all for it.
Not saying diame is good never mind great but I can see Diame's mother calling round your's tonight saying Colback's better than her Mohammed.
No but Rafa saw his talent early and wanted to build his Inter team around him, shame it didn't work out. But technically Rafa was the guy that give Coutinho his break... It might be on lads
So Barcelona or us and only £100M. What a hard decision for Coutinho. I knew we were holding back for that "galactico" signing. I believed Mike, i believed.
