    I don’t think he will play for us again, or at least I hope he won’t. I’ve said for a while we should have been leaving Visit Saudi Arabia holiday brochures around the training ground like breadcrumbs.

    But I’m happy for the club to work towards his rehabilitation to make it possible to get him off the wage bill as soon as humanly possible. In my view, he’s the 2020s version of Chamakh

    It is incredible how we’ve gone from a robust squad with minimal injury set backs to the state we’re in now.
    The worst possible scenario. Stuck with a player on £265,000 per week (2nd highest on the cub), taking up squad space and suppressing our ability to pay an incoming player, who can't be sold and will command peanuts even when he recovers after the season is done. We lived a charmed life last season with injuries, despite Timber. We gambled on the same happening this season, and now the chickens have well and truly come home to roost.
    Putting the laughter back into manslaughter

    Premier league clubs avoid PRS charges for the 2021-24 period (though VAR will be probably used for Arsenal just in case)

    Apparently we are looking to sign Zubimendi at the end of the season. Impressive bit of business if true but also still leaves us scratching our heads over the issues up front.

    That I suspect will be to replace both Jorginho and Partey, so on one hand if I’m right that’s smart business

    It’s a shame that we haven’t applied the same forward thinking to attacking players

    I’m sure they’re both out of contract so yeah it’s definitely a good move.

    God knows what Jesus’ injury has done for the plans up front now as he would have been one for the transfer list.

    He was signed in 2022. It’s possible we will have to wear the cost…as even with the wage structure it doesn’t sound like we are that near to FSR aggravation. It’s possible we could also offer to buy him out of his contract if he finds a suitable club to go to, to continue his rehabilitation with.

    It depends if he actually cares about his career, or he’s a trolling cunt troublemaker like Ozil

    Apparently Dortmund are after Zinchenko on loan initially with the promise of 20 million euros for him

    In defiance of people like Mac who would be salivating over such a prospect. I’m inclined to think we probably shouldn’t be selling him. He’s definitely no use at left back, but given the complete and utter lack of creativity (did Merino even pass the half way line on Sunday or did he imagine like the floor was lava past that chalked line) in central midfield I actually think he would be better than nothing. I mean we have so much control in possession that it wouldn’t matter that to say the least he is casual on the ball. But he has a better passing output than a lot of our other players.


    Then again, we have to probably accept that is deliberate….and that it’s probably no bad thing to get someone who is most certainly surplus to requirement at left back off the wage bill

    Sell! Sell! Sell!

    Fuck it, we are well and truly in the shit anyway so if we have the chance to get this imposter off the books then we may as well get it done.
