New club enthusiasm and he hadn't had time to have a spat with Mourinho. He was gash in the 2nd half of the season.
Not sure. Doesn't do much if he does. He's quite literally replaced Cuadrado in every aspect, turning to ****e as soon as he walked through the door never to be seen again.
If we were to get both those, hypothetically, then it spells the end for Mata or Rooney (or both) and Depay wouldn't get much game time. Would add loads of pace, width and goal threat though so I think I could live with it. Realistically though, one is as much as we could hope for and Mane would be easier to get.
Think Rooney is done and wouldn't be overly fussed of Mata went. He doesn't have the fight in him IMO. Though once we are firing, he would be a great addition. Memphis will enjoy the competition. Think Mahrez might move as he mightbfeel thisnos his best ever chance. Though some very good clubs are interested.
My Saints supporting, season ticket holding father in law doesn't rate Mane very highly. He says he has at best 1 in 3 good games and when he's bad he's awful.
The concern is that both could well be flashes in the pan. Mahrez does look the real deal but we'd have to play to his strengths, and that is running onto balls behind the defence, which right now we do not do. He's got plenty other a tributes but why **** with it? We'd have to use that pace and directness, which Leicester do perfectly.
Chelsea would be lucky to get $10m for Pedro as of today. Master stroke by Barca. Props to LVG for passing up on that too.
I agree with the first bit but not the second. He could have been very good for us. If used correctly of course, which might not have been the case.
I would say that I never saw a use for him in our team even back then and I questioned the link to him. We are more or less flushed in his position. What we need, and always needed, was natural right winger and pure striker. Plus I didn't like his age.
