Thought he'd do well over there, but, its a different game in Italy.
It seemed to quick for him here, whereas it seems slower over there.

I've not seen our three new signings play, but just on reputation I reckon four best xi is probably now:

Johnstone

Bree Chester baker amavi

Jedinak

Adomah Lansbury hourihane green / Thor

Kodjia

Subs: bunn elphick Bacuna Westwood grealish ayew RHM

That does look like it has the bones of being a team that could challenge for promotion, maybe with 2-3 sound additions in the summer - centre back, defensive midfielder, striker

I'd have Tshibola on the bench in place of either Westwood or Bacuna.

Maybe he will do the same a Juan Pablo's girlfriend.........?
But then, maybe he won't get a look in when it comes to welcoming hugs and stuff as he will be Jonny-come-lately.

SB wont put RHM on the bench though, will he ?
And he doesn't rate Tshibbo.
And he absolutely gates RMcC.

Is it correct that if he plays a certain amount of games, they HAVE to sign him? Was it 20 games? If so, he needs posting in the 'players out' tray.

Well, except that in the summer it's not unreasonable to expect Amavi and possibly Kodija leave.

I know I am a miserable git but let's be realistic. A mid/low level Prem team surely will come in for him

You may be a miserable git. Who knows?
But no matter who comes in for him, he's not for sale.



Qualifier:
Unless SB wants rid and why would he? Nobody else can score!

PL clubs had the chance to bid for him in the summer and didn't. I'm not going to start selling off our better players just yet.

I'm pleased it's your decision to make.
