Played well Vs Burnley

Tbf, a 3 legged dog could have a good game against Burnley.

Ffs there are some ridiculous suggestions on here at times.

Licking Sean Dyche’s arsehole for half an hour would be more tempting.

It wasn't my suggestion.

If his coming here means that Pep will stop playing Alvarez in midfield, I would welcome him with open arms.

You're obsessed with Alvarez. Pep will play Alvarez when Pep wants to play Alvarez.

I feel like Rodri needs him. He’s got a bit of everything, attacking flair but can also put in a shift when defending.

Similar to Gundogan.

Exceptional player , bad news injury prone

That's what you call 'injury prone' over 5 seasons?? LOL

Over the same time frame Kev's been missing 102 matches.

Ive seen a few people say about the fact he puts a shift in yet everytime ive seen him play ive said to myself 'he'll need to track back better or work harder if he wants to play in a Pep team'. If anyone has any stats / clips then happy to be proven wrong. i think he is an excellent player with the ball and going forward.

And Pep will keep forcing Alvarez into the team because otherwise he would only play 10 games a season when Haaland is injured or rested, and then Alvarez would either demand to leave or lose all confidence like Jesus and everyone we ever kept as Sergio’s #2.

That may be a part of it, but Pep wouldn't put Alvarez in the team if he thought for a moment it was going to cost us points. He will always have a eye on squad management but never at the expense of losing games. or dropping points.

Nothing would have appeared to have shifted, other than suggestions from Brazil that the allegations will be proven unfounded and Tweets that our interest remains keen. The busyness of the thread probably reflects his recent return to action, nothing more nor less.

I still feel our summer signings will largely be dictated by what happens in the coming weeks. Win big trophies and we can probably afford to buy younger players. Fail to win big trophies and we may need to buy more established players.

It’s going to be a weird window. Lots of teams will be looking to sell before 30th June and not sign anyone until 1st July.

The PSR Paradox.
