If he goes there to play RB I officially give up trying to understand footballers.

I do feel for AMN he wants to play regularly. We dont want to play him in midfield or at right back. So no wonder he is frustrated. Could he be any worse than xhaka in midfield. Might add mobility and covering.
We do lack a goalscoring midfielder, lingaard or someone like that. always scores goals.
Willian has left by mutual consent... 1 down about 1 million to go
So we tried to play hard ball with Palace over Nketiah, but they've moved on and signed Edouard.
We're now left with a player who knows he's not wanted, won't get much, if any, game time this season and will walk out on a free next summer.
Shambles.
The whole “we need to be ruthless” speech at the start of the summer was unbelievably naive - the moment something like that leaves your lips there can’t be any question about following through with it. Those deals already have to be done in advance and they need to happen as soon as the window opens, otherwise you end up exactly where we are now: rolling into the season with half a squad of players who know that they’re neither needed nor wanted and, surprise! None of them give a F about playing for you when you need them to.
Looks like the only thing happening today is a possible loan move for Hector back to Spain. Blocking AMN's move to Everton suggests there will be no more signings. What a shit show.
