He was never going to do a second season. More so now Carlo has gone..

I'd rather he played wearing a kit personally...
Think it'll probably suit everyone if he moved on, especially if we got any sort of fee. The books need it after all.
Class player obviously and a reminder of what a world class player looks like. But I'd sooner cash in and replace with a young player. I've said it before, he should only have complimented a complete squad but we were relying on him when we shouldn't have been.

I’m guessing they agreed for him to come basically as a way to get him out of Madrid and then get him a move elsewhere if we didn’t make the CL. Seems like Mendes has it all figured out.

someone said it the other day, he's lived a charmed life here under Ancelotti. When 100% fit and focused there is no doubt he's our best player but that those moments were so few and far between and he was hardly committed to the cause, even less so now Carlo Ancelotti is gone. If we can get money for him (or part trade for a player as has been rumored) and Unless he's desperate to stay I'd sell but be thankful for the few moments of class he showed on the pitch. It's just a shame the fans never got to see him play.
Yeah I think he has and that can't have been good for the dressing room.
I think most are in agreement aren't they. Move him on for someone young. Nice to have had him and all that but not being able to see him was a downer. Especially when I went to the wolves game
Yep, if he's going to go then getting a fee is great businesd. Even £10m plus his wages off the books is fantastic.
Not a snowball in hells chance of a fee!
Didn't he have his heart set on Atletico, but Real refused to sell to them?
He’s definitely been linked a lot to Atletico. Could very well end up there this summer.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a "paper" fee for him if Rafael Leao comes the other way, a bit like Barca and Juve did with Pjanic and Arthur.

Agree. Wages will be another issue for most clubs.
Yep.
Real have probably installed a petty clause that we cannot sell him on to their city rivals.
My thinking as well mate, whether Carlo was here or not I reckon he would have wanted out.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
He's been very busy hasn't he? Stopping Nuno from getting a job, and Guttaso to quit a new job
