We were outplayed by Sheffield United for large parts at home, we are without our best player and Alonso is nailed on to start. You honestly think most of the comments aren't warranted?

If Rudiger does start, he's going to need to have the game of his life with our potential back four.

The bar is at such a standard. [emoji849] I've yet to see anything "elite" about him. Kudos to those that have seen his immense talent, though.

Which what? Solanke would have still been at the club had he not set demands. Club had a no nonsense policy not so long ago, so it has nothing to be with "identifying".

Teams seem to appoint new managers just before facing us and tend to "bounce back".

Or another Solanke...

I'd have to agree. He's the epitome of the ideal football player, on & off the pitch.

Money really isn't an issue for me. It's the way he's gone about his business and effectively has nothing to back it up. How I miss the days of players earning their wage.

He's done the least out of our all youngsters & is set to become second highest paid teen in the world. People have the right to have their doubts about us kneeling to his demands (still yet to sign btw). Shocker, I know.

Kenedy, Piazon, Wallace, Nathan & Oscar to a lesser extent. Not sure about scouting Brazil with our track record.

Pleased to see the club tying down promising players long term.

Marcelino sacked by Valencia ahead of games against Barcelona and us. No idea if that's a good thing or not.

They are a dime a dozen. [emoji6]

You're just a hater. [emoji6]

16 behind - Seems more than likely but you never know.

I thought it was signed months ago but the club were holding back the announcement? [emoji848]

Alonso and Azpi at FB. [emoji25]

He still owes us - https://www.violanation.com/fiorentina-latest-news-updates/2019/2/27/18242069/adrian-mutu-chelsea-appeal-debt-payment-court-juventus-livorno-fiorentina-legal-problem

To fend off interest from other teams or agent wanting better terms for a starter? Trend as of late at the club.

Doesn't need to look further than Solanke. That worked out great, didn't it. [emoji1]

Juve were after him before Sarri joined. They are a club that pick targets themselves & the manager just has to make do. https://www.football-italia.net/139153/first-juve-emerson-bid-rejected

It has to be in terms of being a starter. Let's hope Alonso does a Luiz next summer.

"Weak"... I've heard of selective hearing, but you might have a world's first.

Entitlement = Mentally weak [emoji849] Try harder to push your "theory" behind his failure.

His lack of physicality is the main reason he flopped. Clear enough now? I don't get how a simple point can be misconstrue. [emoji854]
