Completely happy with this and hope he leaves. With everything happening since arrival of ETH, players departing , players supposedly incoming, style of play - CR was one of the major thing that doesn’t fit that story line. I didn’t thing he would work with ETH but hoped it might. Also helps gets our wage bill down and changes the whole ideology of players asking for higher salaries and creating some kind of sensible wage structure. I believe DDG will become the highest paid after CR leaves
On the fence about if we need someone to replace him.
- One one hand we now have Sancho, Rashford, Martial, Elanga, Garnacho to play in that top 3 positions along with the possibility of deploying Bruno if he wants to shoe in VDB and FDJ in the same starting XI
- on the other hand I wouldn’t want us to splash silly cash on DCL or Memphis or even Ekitike. Antony is my first option but spending the amount of money Ajax wants is insane (80m I think) if we get him for 50m it’s decent. Next option would be Gnabry. Massively improves us.
