The ever reliable Gerard Romero has said he wants to leave because he wants to play at a higher level.
Gerard Romero doesn't BS. He knows Deulo in person too.
Doesn't suprirse me one bit. Get this [Poor language removed] out the club asap. Attitude stinks.
Makes me sick the way people want to keep him
For me he's currently far too much of a luxury player who has undoubted talent and ability, yet more often than fails to apply this consistently.
People may rightly argue that he needs games to find his form and potentially has more ability than others who are currently in and around the XI.
Although on the other hand, can we afford someone who clearly isn't fit enough for playing a full game regularly and can often be lacklustre?
Added to that, this is now the third manager who has failed to regularly start him so it raises serious questions on whether he's good enough.
Like @Baines' left foot I'm a bit apathetic regarding whether he leaves or not: if he stays he can offer but if he goes he won't be a huge loss.
Yes we aren't using him purely because in my humble opinion he's a luxury which we can't currently afford. May play very well but often doesn't.He isn't a luxury player, though. We don't use him. We instead use players that are demonstrably worse than he is.
Disagree with the first part. We cant have all our attacking players doing nothing without the ball as they are doing 'their job' going forward - the defence would be absolutely hammered. You cant just create 4-5 chances a game and do nothing else.
The second bit I fully agree with, he's still giving Ross, Rom and Mirallas games when they are very similar to Geri in terms of workrate.
I said a long time ago that I can't be bothered with all his theatrical stuff. I doubt that Koeman is a big fan of it either. Shows to me a lack of the required character for beings winner. Nice bloke but not one for me.
If he does get sold and not loaned, how much are we looking at. We paid around £6.5 but it was only that low because Barca had buyback clauses. I think we should be looking at £10mill.
What a strange viewpoint.
'Dipping in and out of the side' is NOT giving him chances. He's played and been the best player on the pitch and dropped.
Came on and turned the Sunderland game around, barely been given a chance in that position since yet Barkley gets chance after chance.
