It's weird, ain't it? But some people actually seem to want him to confirm - in public - that he doesn't rate certain players, just because...they don't themselves, I suppose. Disregarding entirely how tactically stupid it would be to downplay the importance of a player another club might be interested in buying.
Exactly. Only a few months ago Ole was saying stuff like Sanchez was going to come back and surprise a few people. It was an obvious lie when he said it but the man has to manage the squad. He has to pretend like these players are worth other clubs buying and, in the worst case scenario, keep their chins up if we can't move them on. At the back of Ole's mind he'll be thinking 'if we can't sell this lad I don't want him moping around Carrington damaging team morale so I can't come out and end him in public.'
ahhahaha
Read: We'll sell him at the earliest convenience.
Exactly, there was a meltdown when he praised Lukaku, Sanchez in August, in Jan again. What Ole says in PC is not what he really thinks about players.
Iron fist in a velvet glove.
Roma are lowballing us. If they want him then pay up. Simple.
And he was true to his words. Or are you calling Cristiano a virus?
He gave them both... (Heinze the bastard
)That makes sense.
Let's hope so.
Probably because he's the highest profile player who will start this game?
Aye hopefully so.
Exactly. We aren't a charity.
Exactly. He didn't even answer directly whether smalling will be back in the team. Just said he did well in roma
Shaw has more than his fair share of spells out with injury. This is no surprise. Extra reason we should buy another left-footed LB for depth and competition.
Two weeks left of the season.
Completely agree. I'm honestly more comfortable with Williams being cover at RB than I am at LB.
They were given the option to buy him but they didn't want to pay 20m for him.
Apart from whatever defensive failings he has due to his age, inexperience or ability... he is also of no use to our offensive play there. He spends his entire time facing inside towards his CBs and can't (understandably) provide any width or penetration on his wrong foot. It's was no surprise there was hardly any link-up going on on the left, on what was previously our most dangerous side of the pitch, as soon as Shaw stopped playing.
Probably what they're saying about us in the Dortmund forum.
Exactly
Life goals: find yourself a girl who looks at you the same way JLingz looks at Ole in the video thumbnail.
