    Until they can't afford his wages... This is the problem for us.

    Either way we're packed to the rafters with attacking midfielders.

    We're done for incomings, so if he goes or stays makes no odds to me..

    Atsu, sadly, is far short of being a Premier League player. However, he'd be a decent purchase for a struggling Championship club like Forest or Norwich.

    We could stipulate they have to take Aarons with Atsu.

    We need to sell Jacob Murphy ASAP too. I can see Bruce has decided to involve the ****hawk a chance in the first team. Makes sense given he is blatantly not a footballer.

    Jacob Murphy >> Atsu and Rolando (You know DPP was talking about Max Aarons right?)

    If we have to suppliment his wages then so be it, even 10k off the wage bill and £2m in the bank would do me.

    Ah right I was just trying to think of ways to get shot of Aarons who supposedly isn't wanted. I'd take Max Aarons all day long to be fair. Very modern attacking full back.

    Jacob Murphy is an utter ****hawk. I'd go as far to say Rolando Aarons is more use. And he can only manage about 3mins before breaking down. But that 3mins will be more use than Murphy's entire career. Who the **** is scouting these guys? Honestly I could tell you Jacob Murphy is not a footballer after 30 seconds of watching him. When he signed I thought yeah give him a chance, a few have looked at him etc. As soon as I saw the **** play I thought, he looks like a frog and plays football like a fish.

    You've got a point. Coaches probably keep placing him down the line because he looks like a fish. Some would say he looks like a fish out of water on the field, but he comes alive on a rain-sodden pitch.
