Not a mourinho player. Linked to the Mancs to put pressure on Chelsea if they have not bid already. It's in the Mancs interest for Chelsea to spend as much as possible. My cynical view.
Reidy was not a bad manager at all in the prem. Best record of any Sunderland manager in the prem. 7 years with 45% win rate. Saved Leeds from relegation one season and got city 5th before the arabs took over.
This graph illustrates some of what you say. We do not have the 3 or 4 players who will hit double figures. Man Utd have had similar issues this season hence why they are placed next to us in the league.
But when you look at Chelsea, Lpool and Spurs in particular you can see why the are the...
There are pros and cons of him leaving or staying. We don't know what Koeman has in mind? Is he bigging him up so we can try and get top dollar or have we got enough money to get 3 or 4 top class players in next season to challenge for top 4.
But if he goes to Chelsea he will have Hazard Willian and kante etc to feed off. Not trying to make excuses for him as he should have done much better today.
Think he will sign but it won't mean he will stay next year. He will probably double his wage in the meantime so he is not going to run his current contract down now on half the pay he could be getting.
Be interested to see if this new deal has anything to do with Schneiderlin potentially arriving and the fact he is currently on 100k a week with Man U. call me cynical.
Lukaku goals and assists this season 12. The rest of our midfield. 12. Arsenal have had 1 more shot at goal than us this season and scored 17 more goals. Creativity and goals from midfield is what we lack as we saw yet again last night.
Rom would score nearly every game for a top team in England or the top European leagues.
And we would have been fighting relegation without him last season.
I cannot see him being here next season so we need to plan ahead without him.
