Not sure we do have anyone in succession for Mac and Moises YET. Mac took what, 2 years to bed in? And Moises is a generational talent who was already one of the top performers in the S American Champions League and S American international competitions BEFORE we'd even signed him. The idea that...
It's an obvious move. Would be great for Mac. In their formation he could conceivably play about six positions. He deserves that kind of move as he's been a true gent here. I don't actually think we'd miss him as much as we might fear, despite his quality.
All we can is say to these players is...
Beyond his performance yesterday, when he plays CM with Moises it's one of the best CM partnerships in the world. We should revert to that ASAP. I'd prefer Gross at 10.
Also Kowalski who gets forgotten about a lot in these discussions but was, at the time of signing, pretty much regarded as one of the very best young midfielders in Europe.
No disrespect to Brighton but the kid deserves a move to 'on a downward spiral and just been thrashed by Brentford' Liverpool or 'one win in seven, owned by a megalomaniac with little understanding of football' Chelsea.
He'll be on the bench I'm sure. Incredibly fit player and despite no doubt mostly having sex and getting drunk over the last two weeks he'd had an incredibly intensive few weeks before that.
Expect he'll get a brief run out, score and performance allowing.
What on earth is the matter with people? He was released for two weeks. That was what the club agreed to.
That's exactly what has happened.
Get a grip.
Personally find the whole thing very touching and Mac deserves to totally milk it. As others have said today, reading about George Cohen passing on all the news sites reminds us what an incredible achievement it is. Relatively unheard of players becoming legendary names across the country for...
Mac is one of those players that I really wouldn't mind if he left in January. Not because I don't rate him - he's a wonderful player, but because he has been a total gent his entire time here. I don't actually believe in the idea of players owing clubs anything and I'd never stand in the way of...
He will go down as the best player to have played for us by the end of his career. A Rolls Royce number ten who's now become one of the best DMs around. Insane allround talent. Amazing technical ability. Really intelligent. Great attitude. Dream player to have in your team.
