Ilkay has been wonderful, particularly in the past 4 seasons. However, he hasn't been alone in being 'the engine of our midfield', as you put it.You are aware that Pep has just lost his captain? The same captain that has been the engine of our midfield during Peps time here.
It's in our interest to keep Pep happy to try and get him to stay longer and longer. So far this window we have failed to keep his captain, land his number 1 and number 2 target for the replacements of said captain. Not sure he will be best pleased.
Remember the goals that Gundo has delivered just the last 2 seasons, he pulled us out the shit vs villa on the last day of the season, then he scored a hateful at the end of this season to seal the deal, that's without mentioning him scoring a brace in the final of the FACup vs scum one of which was the fastest ever goal scored in an facul game.
There is nothing wrong with being concerned when you can see others strengthening around us, I hope we don't use the same list that Sergio gomez came from when looking for option 3 on gundo replacement!
I think there is enough there to be a little worried without having to "give your head a wobble".
Nothing really just Chelsea are in for Viega aswellBeen busy all day. Missed owt on the transfer front?
Oh yeah, I'm completely aware I'm getting on a bit (late 30s) haha. But I wasn't sure whether it was something made up by kids or part of the bollocks lingo that's been brought into the game by pundits and commentators. "Inbetween the lines" "round the corner" and another personal favourite the "double pivot"(I'm judging your age on your user name)
It's an age thing. Everything has to be something different in football these days - when I were a lad it was 11 blokes with numbers 1 to 11 on their shirts and the number dictated what they were good at. If you couldn't dribble or pass (be "press resistant") - you were numbered 2 to 6.
Simple eh
Did he tell you that personally
That’s how to post when one is busy (:Been busy all day. Missed owt on the transfer front?
Er, because we bid £90m for Rice, I doubt that was just for shits and giggles. And it seemed pretty much common knowledge that we were interested in Bellingham until he decided on Madrid.
