Perhaps he’d just been told that he won’t be in the squad for Arsenal (with Welbeck getting the nod) and he’ll have to wait until the Palace or Spurs games?
🤷🏼
18 months on and he has progressed brilliantly but with such a high ceiling, we might have to wait a few years to see him fully meet his potential.
As for value, it would be no surprise if the club turned down bids of the order of £30m. His value could go double that if he hits double figures...
Such a tough one.
I really want to see Caicedo and Gilmour in centre midfield as I think this will be our go-to pairing next year. Groß is a little wasted at right back but is seemingly the only option.
Then we have the No.10 position. Welbeck was outstanding there on Saturday and offered a...
My conspiracy theory is that a figure was agreed in Mac’s last contract. If another club pays this, he’ll be gone. Dad Mac is stirring up a bidding war. I’d love Mac to stay but he could have been walking out on a free in June, instead he signed the dotted line meaning we’ll benefit by tens and...
The RDZ affect on a very raw ingredient, gradually cooking him up to be served in a Michelin star restaurant is so fascinating. Enciso was utter quality when he came on. Delicious!
From what I read and saw at the time of the Sima transfer, he had a massive window of development, huge talent but is completely raw. Perhaps a slow burner.
Yeah - saw that. With Lallana off the pitch, it was impressive to see Mac step up and give the bollocking out (Julio deserved it having left our whole left side unguarded).
However, the lad (who is just a boy) has a big future with us. You can see it already. He is going to be very special.
I think he might go out on loan now. That’s two squads missed.
Mitoma looked brilliant today and Potter will want to give Sarmiento some minutes soon. This lad will be immense but perhaps it’s better to take our time with him.
Fortunately, we have a number of runners in the ‘Tross replacement’ race so there shouldn’t be too much pressure on the 18 year old if our Belgium star was to leave.
1. Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s young footballing messiah will guarantee thousands more South Americans are glued to watching...
I like his decision making in and around the box. It’s either a very quick shot or an incisive assist (with either foot). Obviously this is just from a highlights reel and we need to know if that decision making is the rule or the exception but he has plenty of time to get up to speed.
I hope...
Really excited by this.
Another player with the potential to be world class. He might well end up more Connolly than Cucu but his signature has given me hope after the loss of 1+ of our best players to Champions League teams.
