villalad21 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Are you drunk? Him not replacing Fernandinho doesn't mean he won't go to Man City. Excellent back up for Rodri if anything. Even so he'll have plenty of offers from other clubs. Edited July 2, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz will definitely go in the summer but Nakamba, Hourihane should still be decent for us in the Championship. I can see McGinn leaving too so we need strengthening in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 He is had 4 decent above average games. There are levels and he has billion miles away from City' bench. Weren't you the fella saying we were going to lose Samatta after he scored against Bournemouth? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Since the Lockdown, he has been the player, I though we had bought. Very impressed, his movement has gone up a gear....great to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McGinn has become more of a gamble to any suitors.....He has come up with a sustained run of flat performances, pre lockdown and since. I am not sure what I think with regards to McGinn......just hoping his form returns post Injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 He seems to be playing the Woods role in the Brentford system that Smith deployed. Has been something Smith hasn't been able to get right since he got here. Whelan, Hourihane and Nakamba have been tried and not been able to do it consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz is playing really well but there's a touch of the shop window about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The same lot banging on about how we won’t be able to keep him were probably adamant Jack was leaving last season and that Tammy was leaving in January. I bet they talked about Mitrovic leaving Fulham too. Unless City come in for him or we get a reasonable offer. He ain’t going anywhere. Why would we sell our best players when we want to come straight back up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourihane wasn’t good enough last year and we finished 5th. I’d be disappointed if Nakamba was still here next year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an edge about him now, works hard, tracks runners, gets his foot in. It is all very basic but combined with his undoubted ability on the ball it will make him a far better player. Man City quality I doubt but he has been an absolute luxury for most the season and not in a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Presumably he's got three years left on his deal. We don't need money and will be receiving a chunky sum for Jacko this summer. I've got him pegged very much in the Veretout spot as a guy who will be excellent if we go down. A midfield containing him and McGinn can do plenty of the game control to allow Hourihane 20 goals next season. Depends what City's transfer plans are, don't put it past them bringing him back. He could go and sit in that team no problem. As good as, if not better than Gundogan right now. Edited July 3, 2020 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
