It’s a bit clumsy. Relieved it wasn’t an injury post.

Let him have those aspirations. We’re not a world class club. We need to win a few things first. And if he does do well enough that a bigger fish comes after him we will pocket a large fee and move on. Hopefully by that stage we have won stuff and world class players want to come here and all the best players want to stay.

He'd want to stop getting injured every few weeks then.

Apparently the Belgian site was asking yes or no type questions and this one was 'One day you'll play for one of the top 5 clubs in the world?'. Makes more sense in that regard.

Well, he hasn't pulled it out of nowhere, at least. I suspect most footballers would answer along the lines of 'yes, hopefully'. I mean he answered it more clumsily than that, granted.

most footballers are savvy enough not to disrespect the club they are playing for.

Yeah, we should never have signed him when we found out he speaks so many different languages, the twat. We only want honest, hard-working, pig thick troglodytes from Thirsk.

He's going to be really important to us now, and its imperitive he doesn't get injured. But he knows that, so played as though he was scared of getting injured and was hence, only about 50% effective so not that important to us.

I think you're being very generous with 50% but agree we need him fit for a month or two until we get back our key players. On reflection, the statement doesn't come as a surprise to me, I've long believed he thinks he's better than he is. The key to his best performances is discipline, operating to instruction and keeping to his given role. He's still young, has some good experience especially for his national side but he's far from the finished article. His last league performances demonstrated his potential to be key player for us but right now with everybody fit I wouldn't have him starting, both Youri and Bouba are a level above and Onana isn't, no matter what he thinks, a box to box player.

He can certainly go on to be a great midfielder, we've seen glimpses of how brilliant he can be but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Right now we'd be lucky to get our money back with his injury record. I really like him but let's keep those feet on the ground. He's no Makélélé, Kanté  or Michael Essien but there's nothing stopping him aiming to be.

Love it. If it was some stupid question/answer interview I forgive him but the above still stands.

I'm very upset by this quote. He's only allowed two fist pumps to the Holte if we win on Sunday.
