    Brentford would be a decent move for him tbf. I was meaning more the likes of Leicester who are sniffing around him.

    I feel as if he is one of the ones who could be sold.

    Im sure I read somewhere that he has been having some off the field issues (nothing confirmed) and I just dont feel like he has continued on from the momentum of his debut season, which was always going to be hard to do, as well as he did.

    He talks references it in the article I posted without divulging specifics but yeah seems like he has been dealing with stuff in his personal life that may have impacted his form. But seems to have come through it now and to be in a good place. Would like us to get at least one more season out of him as he is only going to get better and better. Would be frustrating to see another team get the benefit.

    He starts against huns for me, always plays well against them but, as with most games, totally fades away second half.
    Crucial for Ange to get timing right for hooking him.
    Just seems to lack stamina.

    I wonder how much that has to do with his asthma.

    Midfielders in Anges team are asked to do a lot, especially the advanced two who are asked to get up and down in a high tempo game plan and press. Id imagine Ange wants to see his players tire in the second half as it means they have given their all.

    Remember there are ways of measuring fitness, so iv got no doubt if he wasnt satisfying the sports science, Ange would be taking action.

    How long does a player need to have a bad spell for until he’s considered to be a bad player?

    Guy has been utter * for ages.

    Moves like an old man.

    We’ll get absolutely destroyed in the Champions League if he’s anywhere near our midfield.

    Hopefully we get good money for him in the summer and get someone in who has some fight and passin his locker, today summed up his season.

    Said it elsewhere but I’m running out of patience with him. Aye he’s young and he does have potential, but I’m not seeing what he’s offering us right now that even a Turnbull (who ultimately isn’t good enough) couldn’t.

    Not an overreaction from today but he has regressed massively. Was outstanding when he first came into the club but doesn’t have the consistency these days.

    Hope to see him back to his best though as he offers so much when he is.

    expected so much more from him, when he arrived he was controlling games, playing through nice passes that created goal scoring opportunities and while he may still be our top assister of the season, ithink if he had kept up his standards he'd have double what he actually has.

    if we get a good offer this summer then sell, he can be improved on

    Lacks physicality and heart for me. Clever player but im starting to wonder if we can bring in someone who can offer more.

    Good eye for a pass but he's just not press resistant.

    He has been pretty mediocre all season really, a few decent games but the mid 3 of McGregor, Hatate and Mooy was far better than any grouo with him in it. I wouldn't be upset if he left. I think we'd make a tidy profit and could improve on him.
