Fitness permitting...
Nixon said Lee Johnson last week , I've also read someone quoting Dean Smith's wife that they have no intention of moving from London.
Time will tell I suppose.
You do realise Burke, Barry, Rodriguez, Krychowiak, and Gibbs were all someone else's leavings right? None of them were first choice in their respective teams.
Are these points valids even if he moves abroad? does a tribunal fee still get awarded if he chooses to play overseas.
Just like the whole contract signing issue... would anyone in the right mind sign a contract to a club if they felt they weren't going to be playing? (That obviously shows its not about the 60k a week and he obviously wants to go elsewhere to play football - i see no one is slagging him off for showing off on social media about how happy he was to get 90 mins under his belt last night were they? - nope because its not negative).
Regardless if people like it or not, you don't just 'lose talent', he will go elsewhere, maybe take a season to settle in, get upto speed and gel with the squad... have a cracking season there the season after and all the prem clubs will be keeping a close eye on him to see how he progresses.
I’d have something for Olsson personally, he has had a bit of an up and down relationship with our support, few spats here and there over the years but there is no doubting he has been a fantastic servant and it would be nice to go on record (by means of a theme) to show our appreciation of his service in what is undoubtedly his last season with us. I know it’s easy to criticise him these days but you can’t forget that he was a colossus for us for 4/5 seasons and has given us 9 years of his career.
With the greatest of respect, don't you have to be in the top 6 to secure a Europa League place? If, as I suspect, this is Chinese Government driven, then Europa league is a given. They will want to demonstrate the a Chinese owned team can compete with some of the best in the world.
I certainly expect a top half finish this season, & possibly a decent run in the FA cup.
Someone has already mentioned this to him on Twitter.
Oh well, if he decides to go then many thanks to Stephen Hopcroft for all that has been done at our academy.
I hope the rest of his team stay here though .
Couldn't we just block a move in January like we have every window and take the tribunal when he leaves on a free?
