I would rather play Case CB than seeing him there.
Lindelof is 3rd choice. I suppose Maguire is still ahead of Evans but even that is doubtful.With Shaw out he's actually a 3rd choice for CB position.
I'm struggling to think why any Saudi club would go for him. The guy is a meme. If they're trying to be 'serious', he's one of the last players I'd expect them to attempt to sign.What are the chances that one of the Saudi clubs go for him if not now but next summer? I wouldn’t be surprised that he’d be more interested to earn his last big contract there than moving to a mid-table PL club, particularly after the WC campaign as that’d be his last meaningful game time at the top level.
That may be the case but he’d also be one of the best defenders in the league, I can only think of Laporte and maybe Koulibaly who are anywhere near the same level.I'm struggling to think why any Saudi club would go for him.

Me tooI hope Evans plays before he does
I honestly think they'll be looking at many other players before him, though. Not necessarily just Premier League players. Happy to be wrong! I would love nothing more than a Saudi club to take him off our hands.That may be the case but he’d also be one of the best defenders in the league, I can only think of Laporte and maybe Koulibaly who are anywhere near the same level.
Oh I completely get where you’re coming from and I’d be very surprised if any Saudi team came in for him. He just isn’t a cool player and like you say he’s basically a walking meme these days.I honestly think they'll be looking at many other players before him, though.

Im sorry but I have to disagree, the player power now is just ridiculous, for example take Nunes who has just moved from Wolves. Wolves took a chance on him and paid a hefty fee and a very high salary. City come in for him 48 hours before the deadline, because Wolves rejected the bid (and they are right to imo as they have zero time to recruit especially for a key player so the general rule is you pay a high premium) Nunes goes on strike (and this isn’t just an isolated incident ) and still collects his salary. it’s the same as players thY want their contract changing mid contract because they have had half a good season. By that logic the club can lower the players salary if they have a sub standard season? There needs to be an overhaul so that neither the player nor the club have too much power.This mentality is embarassing.
The club gave him a contract, he is entitled to it. As Chelsea did to Lukaku. Chelsea don't want to sell him at a loss or a reasonable fee for others but refuse to let him train with the mains, it's disgusting treatment.
How would you like it if your work said feck your contract we want you out even if you didn't want to leave? You have to relocate across the country or to a different country on a lower salary? You'd tell them to feck off and you'd stay.
Haters gonna hate, but it’s a good quality knee slide
I'd play McTominay and Casemiro in defence before him.I would rather play Case CB than seeing him there.
Wolves can say no and can fine him for not training or refusing to play. The club has plenty power. If a player has a chance for their dream transfer, they should be able to push for itIm sorry but I have to disagree, the player power now is just ridiculous, for example take Nunes who has just moved from Wolves.

McT is "only" on £60K a week and he is at an age where he needs to get his big contract, a year sitting in the stands is not going to do that for him, so would expect a Christmas loan or transfer.Mctominay is similar but late in the window I can understand why he'd say no to Fulham, it's all a bit rushed but he needs to go as well.
quite possibly his finest moment
Yeah and it should be if a player plays sub-standard to expectation a nightmare season, his wages should be reduced too.Wolves can say no and can fine him for not training or refusing to play.

I think that's the fastest he's ever moved across a pitchHaters gonna hate, but it’s a good quality knee slide
Definitely the most coordinatedI think that's the fastest he's ever moved across a pitch
Beginning of the end for his career I'd say.quite possibly his finest moment
Nonsense. He signed a contract. Sucks to suck. The organization worth billions can suck it up or make better decisions in the future. There are labor laws that protect employees and contracts must be honored. If a person wants to leave they are free to try to as it is their own life and a company can't force them to do something they don't want to. Just because they are footballers doesn't mean standard employment rights don't exist or apply.Yeah and it should be if a player plays sub-standard to expectation a nightmare season, his wages should be reduced too.
Aguire, the wrath of God.England International. First name on the teamsheet! Take that haters.
lol
And you don’t think any of the toxic shite, hated or booing affects his confidence and therefore his performance?No hatred, booing or any other toxic shite should be sent his way, but it isn’t unfair to point out that he’s a liability nonetheless.

I think eth has made it pretty clear by his actions he isn't in his plans unless absolutely required. I'd personally be looking out for any decent club that would have me. Again, if i was him I'd be livid united rejected that West ham offer. I think he'd have done very well there.McT is "only" on £60K a week and he is at an age where he needs to get his big contract, a year sitting in the stands is not going to do that for him, so would expect a Christmas loan or transfer.
Yeah of course, as I said though I don’t engage in that.And you don’t think any of the toxic shite, hated or booing affects his confidence and therefore his performance?
He wasn’t a liability up to and including Lockdown and the EL final he missed. The Greek incident and subsequent injury really seemed to knock his confidence, and then with every foot out of place the guy gets piled on from the ‘fans’. He’s in a no win situation now.
