There is a reason why Jose binned him off in the first place.He can't cut it at a so called big club.He can also not score against so called big clubs when playing for a so called smaller club.He needs to be a big fish in a small pond to strive.

Think that is harsh.

He cut it at Everton.
He cut it at Man Utd last season.

Sure, he's in a bad run but there will be no shortage of 'elite' clubs in europe lining up to take him.

Jose also didnt really 'bin him', just like with Salah, De Bruyne - Mourinho is always very much about the here and now, the clubs he's been at has largely demanded it.

OK.I get that,but,he has days were he CBA. WBA never benched him and neither did we.United bench him and results turn around.He and his best mate need to be brought down a peg or two IMHO.

What? a 17stone 4 goal striker with the touch of an elephant.

No I'll stick to the fluid one touch football we are seeing with Richarlison getting 6 goals in 7 games from various positions across the front line.

Imagine lukaku scoring either of Richarlisons 2? He'd have been offside for the first and too lazy and thick to anticipate the pass from donk to Duffy.

Don't miss him in the slightest. We've effectively swapped lukaku for Gylfi and Richarlison...... that to me is top business. United would struggle to get £40m for him now.

40M eh...If it was a Silva / Brands option, I wonder at just what price would we consider taking him back.
A tad lower I think.

Yeah I recall seeing all his teammates wish him well at United..... actually no I don't.

It's more telling the fact that nearly all our players blanked him when playing against him the last 2 ganes. No pleasantries like you usually see.

He was disliked.

Still not seen you in any other thread Pedro mate, seems like you only come on here to bitch and moan about others opinions on a player who doesn't play for us anymore.

The United move must have really hurt you, but it's time to move on.

He'd displace all the water in most small ponds right now.
 
Does anyone have any idea what the add-ons were for?

Not sure any will have been triggered so far. Need him to play really to get them.

Even when we're being bankrolled by uncle uzzy the £15m is still a handy figure. 2.5 Sandros for that price.

It was said that the add-ons were supposed to be very easy to achieve.

I imagine we've actually taken a lot of it.

Could imagine it having been, champs league qualification, 20+ season goals, trophy etc

I hope so. But I can't see us getting most of it already. No trophies. No golden boot. Fewer than 100 games.

CL qualification but only once and only the first KO round.

£1m for CL qualification and the same for 25 goals?

Maybe but as I say I seem to remember the targets supposedly being easy to hit
 
He wouldn't get into our starting 11 at the moment.

He'll get goals but something is missing in his game ot be one of Europes elite.
