Come on man,surely there are a couple who you'd sooner chance their arms at another club,football evolves so quickly these days,got to keep the conveyor belt moving
Yeah I can always pick a couple if I had to particularly if they were knocking on a bit but I never think “Oh my god not him playing” any more. Plus I think all players suffer from drops in form and it’s sometimes worth reminding ourselves that it normally comes back where as, in the past, there used to be around 10 players in the squad I thought were always useless!
Let’s take the 4 players currently being named as surplus. Now I’m not saying I wouldn’t choose them too just that, if they stayed, I would be OK with that.
Zinchenko: I like him. Still young full international. Midfielder who had to learn to be a full back. Not so long ago featured in a couple of matches where he was my MOTM. Made a few positional mistakes more recently and dropped. Great squad player.
Stones: The enigma. Suffers from confidence and injury problems. At his best a great player suited to our style. I think there is a chance he can regain his form and has time on his side.
Otamendi: This guy was great for us. A Centurion. He’s started to dive in again instead of standing up and plays so little that when he comes in he can be rusty. Age not on his side. Can see him going and doing a great job in a side that plays him more.
Gundo: Currently the fans favourite whipping boy now that Mahrez has improved. He was great for us and put up impressive analytics. For some reason he doesn’t seem to be putting in a shift. A clever player who still looks great for Germany.
Point is they all have their troubles but I don’t look at them and think I wish we had never bought them...and that’s a thing I’ve never really had over the years.
