Suso [Sold to AC Milan]

[RedReet]

Hardly 'sticking it in'.

[RedRum]

Just saying it like it is.

The only annoyance with the Suso saga was we didn't get a good enough fee for him. He was never going to make it here. Talented but there are players at this club far ahead of him. He may go to Milan and kick on in a new environment as many other players have in the past. But even if he does, we were still correct in how we tried to handle him.

I think a lesson learned with prospects is to keep plus two years on their deals. If they won't sign another let them go for a reasonable fee and add buy back clauses and sell on fees etc.

Said similar in September.

Milan on BT Sport after our match on Saturday, so hopefully get to see him make his debut.

They are on the next 2 weeks after that too, so should definitely see him at some stage.

Team news.

Milan are without Daniele Bonera, Christian Zapata and Mattia De Sciglio through injury. Nigel De Jong is still a doubt and Keisuke Honda is on Asian Cup duty.


From that I should think Suso ought to at least make the bench.

How has it been handled badly exactly? We can't force him to sign a new contract, If the only way he would sign one was to get more game time then we've done the right thing as he's not getting in the team at the moment.

He's hardly had Europe's top clubs scrambling to prise him away from us. So perhaps he's not actually THAT good. Yes he has at times looked like he has a lot of potential but at this stage you'd expect him to be further along in his development but who knows why he isn't. Perhaps it's down to his attitude and commitment rather than anything the club has done wrong.

I find this mentality of immediately looking for an angle to blame the club utterly perplexing.

Haha. I just ducked into this thread, saw the post you're replying to, laughed out loud, then remembered why I generally don't like reading about football any more.

Honestly.

And if he doesn't, you can blame Ayre, Rodgers and FSG.

Made the bench but didn't get on (again). Entertaining sending off for Mexes for those that didn't see it.

I wonder how long the ban will be?

[Cormack74]

Missed out again tonight. Might as well have stayed put, at least he would have got some games with the U21's.

[Fosterbloke]

As it should be, get used to the team, methods and location. He'll play for them in time.

same thing was said when he was here.

[Boogs]

Young lad in a foreign country and probably hasn't got a clue what people are talking to him about. Look at Pogba for examp......

[Shaggy]

Has he not played yet?
