Obviously there is no guarantee as who knows how he will develop but thought Pep has said we are not buying attacking mid as Foden will fill Silva's spot?I think you’re probably right that he’s happy enough for now and perfectly willing to take things on trust. That’s good.
However, I also think his deference, patience and relative naïveté are being exploited. If he kicked off a bit more, he wouldn’t see favoured elder sons bagging nearly all the minutes. It’s not as if he’d weaken the side by getting more time. Far from it. And it’s not as if we are in contention for the League.
What I’m less confident about is this alleged understanding that he’s earmarked as Merlin’s replacement. There is no obvious evidence and I wouldn’t be surprised if we wrote a big cheque for Dave’s successor.
