I hope not, but we can't say no (without proof of injury) and the player would probably not say no either.

It *might* be another fitness opportunity....(he said, biting his tongue...)

We are not obliged to release for friendlies?

From Eriksen's perspective I can understand Real Madrid but I don't really understand why he would leave us for Juve.

Domestic dominance, a club and league that suits him, better climate, expectations of a salary similar to Ramsey’s, I could go on.

This is all well and good but why would Lo Celso ever want to pull on a shirt of a club that stops him playing for his country? I hope others realise that what is written above is totally irrelevant if you want maintain a healthy relationship with a patriotic player. Same as calling the "we pay his wages and can do what we want" card.

From what I saw in the Copa, GLC is having a great battle with other players to become a permanent fixture in the Argentina side as some of the guys get older. My guess is Lamela wants to be a big part of it as well and is gutted not to be involved. It's a passionate country when it comes to the beautiful game !!!

I suspect, as always it depends on the potential availability of our targets; along with how many of our squad have 'stepped up' and made their mark.

But we're definitely on the lookout for a Left-sided CB and I believe another attacker. If we don't or can't get them in Jan, I hope we move as quickly as we did for N'dombele in the summer.

I'll pay every penny we get for GKN, Eriksen, Wanyama and Sissoko, and then some more, to get Ruben Neves here.

He is playing more and more as a DM, with a playmaker quality.

That kid is tearing it up.

It was impossible, but we really could have done with Moutinho !!!
