Itās sacrilege I know but itās also my honest opinion......
Ā£140m for Phil and Ā£90m to get Lemar in.......is a good deal longer term.
Philās going - the only questions are when / where. I think Barca and quite possibly January.
Iāll miss the little magician but we have lost and we will lose better.
Can't see him going in January, if so what was the point in last summer? Why insist and succeed in keeping him here to them let him go mid season? It makes no sense
I have no doubt he's going next summer but I just don't see January as viable or it makes August make less sense.
He's not Happy, he says it was a job and he was interested, but Phil, this is your job, it's not like any other job as you were happy to sign a long contract a couple of months before Barca offered you a 'job'... you were happy to sign that and as a consequence of we don't deem it right for us you stay, you get your head down and you leave when we feel it works for us.
If anything blame your agent for not sounding out Barca before you signed, or question your willingness to jump at a pay rise when you didn't think that bee new job offer was there.
The lads a c**t as far as I'm concerned for the way he has acted but he's a c**t that leaves when we say so. Not January because that doesn't benefit us. The summer he can f**k off and not drip sh*te platitudes on us to make it easier like that other pr**k suarez
If he'd not been happy at his current job then why sign a 5 year deal to stay in it and take a large pay bump to then try to leave at the soonest possible opportunity after it.. doesn't work like that. Transfer requests the day before the season starts, faking back injuries.. little pr**k.
But no he shouldn't and won't in my opinion leave in January because we still have too much to play for this year and letting him go won't help us to achieve that.
In the summer though? Definitely for me, slinking out the back door.
I won't miss him, he's replaceable. I don't miss suarez and he was more of a game 'winner' that Coutinho
