I agree. With the right coaching then Atsu could turn into something very special. Sammy will always be Sammy. You know what you will get but it isn't enough for the Premier League.
Which brings me to ask a question about your avatar that I'll been wondering for a while.... Is that Keith Chegwin holding a camel's erect penis under his arm in that picture?
Haha I can confirm it is Keith Chegwin, however I cannot legally confirm anything regarding the camel's penis under his arm. Keith doesn't want the public knowing about his camel-tossing history
The thing with Anita is he's not good enough even as back up in CM, and at RB we have him and Yedlin who are both falling short of what is required in the Premier League. So forget about CM - I'm not sure he even played there once under Rafa - and we need to get a new RB and get rid of one of the current two. For age, potential to improve, and pace I'd agree with what Rafa has decided and keep Yedlin as back up to whoever he plans on signing. I suppose he might see Gamez as a first choice option but I'm less than convinced.
Daryl Murphy confirms that Rafa told him he'd listen to offers for him. Not a surprise but he expects to be moving on this summer.
I wish Anita well. Model pro who did his best. Be a good signing for someone at Championship level, but I could easily see him heading home to Holland and doing really well like De Jongs. Sammy is gash. He will find his level at some stage, probably League 1. Can't agree with DPP, Atsu is far better than Sammy. I think Atsu is probably decent back up. Not sure why we'd keep Gouf?? To be honest Championship teams could do a lot worse than Anita, Murphy, and Gouf.
