The SD's strategy to drive values up so far has been to ban the player from entering Cobham and to tell the whole world they're trying to get rid. The ploy you're describing is way too sophisticated for them!

Looking forward to Enzo recording himself live singing about the Falkland Islands and then coming back pretending to be sorry like he was when he sang about the French 😐

Going to be in the pivot again with Caicedo at this rate.

Pray 4 Caicedo.

I mean the ball really is in Fernandez' court, all he has to do is work harder and be less sh*t.

He is one of the few in the squad whose performances belie his actual talent, his underperformance is entirely of his own making and attitude. If he can adapt himself to a role that actually benefits the team, rather than one that drives his stat sheet, we will be better for it. Either it will work out for the team or he will get his move away and we get a decent fee.
