    You can’t start talking about a player running his contract down when it’s still got two years to run.

    You should really stop with the 'we' bollocks, just speak for yourself. It feels like half the reason some think there's a clique on here.

    I imagine we are one of the top payers in the league we are in? What if Leeds are going to give him 25 grand a week say?
    Are you/we that sure he’s that good and can we afford to do that?

    I don't disagree, but this isn't where my worry lies. I don't think we've been playing at our best for quite some time and teams seem to have us worked out pretty well. We don't have a way to counter that adaption they've made, which is why the more recent games feel more stifled.

    Playing 4-3-3 is rare, so I think we took teams by surprise. If we just changed a little bit, I'm sure we'd improve.

    But it makes not playing him rank stupidity, priority one is getting out this league, anything else can wait.

    I think they’re scared that if they play him and he bangs a few goals in that clubs will come sniffing next month in the window. Crazy I know but I can’t think of anything else that could justify playing Adelakun in front of him.

    Stupid as city need him and he has already done enough to attract interest. Allams strategy is to cash in when they can. They do not want promotion as need to spend big

    Somehow pretty much all the results went our way tonight, so not a complete disaster, yet.
