Droy was my hero Report post Posted December 2, 2021 From the clubs point of view we didn't buy him and we clearly needed an extra CM. Probably the only real flop we have acquired since Higuain, and both were loans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thevelourfog Report post Posted December 2, 2021 7 hours ago, Mana said: This guy is near Bakayoko levels. Red flags were raised when Atletico wanted him gone so bad and we ignored the flags. Slowly paying the price. Thank GOD this is only a loan and we will see the back of him at the end of the season. I mean ... We're not. In that we didn't pay much money, and we've still won the games he played in. This is a significant exaggeration. I think he looks far, far worse than Bakayoko. I actually really feel for him. He must know how far off the pace he is, and be well aware of how poorly he has played when given a go in meaningful games. It must be devastating for him.

This is a significant exaggeration. We only won those games he has played in because TT subbed him off before things got worse. Or subs him on when we have a comfortable lead. So no it’s not a significant exaggeration. I mean, let him play for 90 mins in the league and see what happens. Edited December 3, 2021 by Mana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to acknowledge yourself that has never happened and never will happen, so not sure what your point is beyond pissing and moaning on the Internet. Saul being here hasn't cost us anything we couldn't afford. There isn't any disputing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gallagher is in exactly the right place - starting and starring regularly in the PL There you go Paulw66....

(maybe he will play in Russia?) TT now saying he may be back-up to Alonso… Poor guy, let Atletico because he didn’t want to play wing back and now it’s obvious all he could possibly be is LWB3 here… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
