2017/18 Ramiro Funes Mori

He cared and was passionate but wasn’t the brightest spark was he?

Punching the badge as he got sent off for a ridicuous and unnecessary foul at Anfield, and making comments about the “Malvinas” belonging to Argentina whilst plying his trade in England reinforces my point.
Glad to be rid.
 

Says it all that he was our best centre back. Anybody suggesting Keane, Jagielka or Williams are better is off their head. Would rather play Schneiderlin at centre back than either of those, and he'd be pathetic back there. We best have players on the verge of joining us, that's all I am saying.
 
You’re right unfortunately. Just hope they’re ready to do it at the 1st opportunity. He should have been offloaded long ago.








Who told you that? They’ve said they want to trim the squad. Can’t work with 40, aiming for 25 etc..

Of course they’ll want to trim the waste. You look at our highest paid players & most of them don’t feature in the 1st eleven or even 17!!! That’s colossal waste.

Not heard anyone say we have to reduce the overall wage bill. If we finish 5th next season with a squad of 25 all contributing & the wage bill has gone up 20%, that would be a better return on investment than the mess we’re in now.
The wage bill is already too high.
Klassen, Rooney, sneiderlin, williams, siggurdson, Ramirez, walcott, bolasie.

The total salary of just those 8 players is 800k a week.
 

Hope there is a good plan!

Agreed Ramiro is not a 'top 4' defender, but he was better than other CBs we've still got, the right age/experience profile, our only naturally left-sided CB and unlikely to be on huge wages - so all that considered very surprised he is the first to go unless it was either a deal simply to good to turn down on the basis of what the squad may look like come season kick-off, or they felt his knee was too knackered.
 
Wasn't good enough, undoubtedly had a lot of passion which we all like to see but he was an utter dunce. That red card at Anfield summed him up completely, couldn't be relied upon during big pressure moments. Central defenders have to be most disciplined players any team.

He'll do well in La Liga I feel but getting £17m for him, if we indeed have, is tremendous business. Now get someone in whom we can build around with Keane.
