According to UE it's a reoccurrence of his hamstring injury. He did ok last night. I wouldn't write him off - remember his performance when we ran Man City ragged in December? He kept Haaland quiet. At least  Ezri Konsa is back for Sunday.

I think he is on a big wage tbh so he would be one of the ones id be looking to move on if we can

Shit, I thought it was cramp. 

I thought he played really well yesterday and will be disappointing if he's out for another month.

I like having a player of his quality to come into the team, but I agree in the current FFP climate I'd expect us to cash in.  It will be a fraction of what we paid though.

It just hasn't worked out for him, and all the injries means it's best we get rid in the summer. He probably needs to go and play in a less hectic league like Italy.

We'll/he'll struggle to get another club to get anywhere near his current wage.

He did ok last night but can't see him ever being a first choice centre half.

Their centre forward gave us a few problems in the first leg with his physicality so it was a game for him and he did well, their lad hardly had a kick. Even the one where he went through would have been bought back for offside.

Yes, he did well without having to be at his best.  He loves to be loved doesn't he?

Yeah he did fine last night, kept their striker quiet and justified Emery's decision to start him. He would have been useful at Luton too when Morris bullied Konsa. Marking big physical centre forwards is his comfort level.

But he's nowhere near good enough, or fit enough, to play at the level we are aiming for. So many times this season like at Old Trafford and even his late cameo v Spurs he just spreads chaos all around him. Everton too, another nightmare that we were lucky to get away with. We should be trying to move him on in the summer for whatever we can get.

Yeah, he was fine last night, Didn't really notice him for most of the first half, which is usually a good indicator for a defender.

He'll be out for a while, you could tell from McGinn's reaction as soon as he went to Carlos.

Wouldn't that make FFP position worse ? Crystallising a loss or something .I don't really understand it though.

Depends on whether we get £13m or more, as we'll have amortised half of his reported £26m fee.
