  4. I’m really really glad for all involved that this got sorted!!

  5. We’ve had a ridiculously good transfer season, haven’t we?

  6. Such a shame cause I think he was genuinely one of the best players in the league at his peak for us, 25 million almost feels like an insult compared to what he should be worth.

    But hey, the situation had to resolve itself, he’s not going to someone we’ll ever play competitively, we’re better off with people who want to be here and want to play for the manager

  9. quite less considering how much Saudi splash both in salary and transfer fee , ig the Saudi train has long sailed and now the transfers aren’t as absurd

  13. There’s a man who’s burned all his European bridges so he’s off to the middle east with a can of petrol and a flamethrower 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  14. Good. Great player in his day but was completely toxic. Him leaving was the catalyst for rico lewis thriving. I’m not being hyperbolic when i say that rico could be a better version of cancelo within 3 years.

  17. Don’t cry because it happened. Smile because it’s over.

  18. Little less than the initial roomers but still a good deal. Gets alot of money off our wage book and 25m is a decent portion of his original transfer fee covered. .

    I still think adding a quality LB to our squad would be a good idea. Davies only has a year left. Theo Hernandez wants out at AC allegedly etc.

  19. I think it wouldn’t hurt to empathise with him;

    Imagine your family locked up and you confront the thieves and get assaulted
    You take no break from work and be a tough man
    You unluckily have to play last man vs salah at anfield

    You don’t get a run of games and in a heated discussion lose your cool.

    Just before a World Cup. No football.

    All the 3-4 years of glorious football he played for us, forgotten in his social media posts by the fans who abuse and want him out.

    Then a new club takes him, too broke, and he’s stuck in the middle.

    Eventually just leaves the continent. Way before his age.
