Fab given permission.

Always a shame when players that have been so key move on. Give his age and performance last year then head says makes perfect sense. Heart says sad one though.

Move them on before drop off a cliff I guess.

Was another part of super successful period for us and arguably was best dm in world football for a couple years so will always be fondly remembered.
 
I'll expect to see energy - real, high energy that we saw in our midfield from 2017 -2020. I also expect that we'll substitute the whole midfield 3 in every game before 75 minutes are out for the first 8-12 games. But we had to do something - that midfield from the first game against Fulham onwards looked like Mini Metros towing caravans.

It was hard to watch sometimes, agreed.

Caicedo not 'on the list' apparently

people need to figure out the finances.

Brighton will ask 100mil. they see rice and fernandez sold for 105mil and neither are any better players.

we need to move swiftly and wisely.

the issue though is that if they are all non prem players then it's tough. caicedo would make sense as a guy who is proven in the prem
 
It’s sad to see Fabinho go but it’s the right time and the fee is too good to pass on. Hopefully we will have a quality replacement lined up because if not, it means Hendo will be the starting 6 after he’s crying about lack of minutes - which would be the worst case scenario.

Quite right too - if we're not going to pay £108m for Bellingham or Rice, why the **** would we pay the £100m that's being quoted for Caicedo? Talk we could even get Valverde for £70m. But with Fab going we now need Lavia, end of. Or hijack Amrabat if we can (though I have to admit that for all he looked good in the WC, he doesn't look exceptional in the Italian league).

Not at £100m. Otherwise agreed.
