Ever. I certainly wouldn't be complaining though. It sounds mental but I think I'd prefer Johnson and Diaby to Felix and Diaby. That is mental reading that back. I might change my mind on that. Rather have Diaby and Sancho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix has the option, to do what pleases him.....but I just look at it from OUR point of view, not his. Edited July 16, 2023 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2023 6 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: Hell no to sancho. Over rated inconsistent english player It’s funny how big money moves can completely stifle a young player’s development. I suppose it’s the weight of pressure and/or the lack of ‘drive’ because they’re set for life no matter what. Not saying Sancho is done or anything but his price tag and wages will discourage most from going for him, because the outlay doesn’t match the probable outcome.

It’s really not all that uncommon and I’m fairly sure that we’ve already had to do the same sort of thing for a couple of players that are currently playing for us… Some people get genuinely offended and irate at even the thought that a player would turn our club down We can’t force them! Just wait till we get in Champions League ourselves. I can see it already, we'll be claiming " Player X has no ambition " as he's chosen to join a club in our current situation over us and CL Footie.
