Tbf before the world cup he started 7 of the 8 games completing at least 70 mins in all of them.....and in the other game he came on as a HT sub and played out the 45 mins.

And was blowing out of his arse after 30. He’s never had pace and looks even worse now.
Even if he was blowing out his arse after 30 seconds, he's done well to last as long as he has in games.....
You don't need pace to be a good player.
You need some pace to compete in this league.
Granted, but we've competed and competed well with him at the forefront of the team the past 4-5 years have we not (If you discount this season)

What I don't understand with these Arab countries is why do they target free transfers and pay them unheard of money...yet they won't pay a transfer fee for a player in Europe.
Is it some kind of crime out there to negotiate with European clubs? So they wait until said player is unattached from club?

Those players might have a bit of greed but they know to be remembered and have any worth to your own mind as a footballer you have to compete in Europe.
He played nearly every league game prior to last season. Last season he had 20 appearances in the league. Currently on 13 for this. He’s not getting younger or fitter.
You're fucking kidding me right?
Sadly, none of us do..
But he's had his best season for us in years, worth keeping on for another year or 2.
Expensive signings such as Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz are facing uncertain futures, while, as revealed this week by Telegraph Sport, Jorginho may be allowed to leave when his contract expires and interest in captain Cesar Azpilicueta could be considered.
Yes or No? Nearly £10m as a fee is way too much

Read that as his agent giving Atlético the hurry up.
Weighing up a move sounds so familiar 😗
Agreed.
I couldn't disagree more. Neves would slot very nicely into our midfield. Henderson out, Neves in. What's not to like?
I mean, I'd want an athletic, combative midfielder to replace Fabs (who looked like he was running through treacle yesterday) alongside him, but baby steps and all that.
Yah, I'll run with this - we really cannot afford to not sign someone and he's good enough to improve us considerably (which is more a testament to how poor we are, not how good he is)
I really rate Neves. He's intelligent, his distribution is excellent (both short and long), he's good at defending, he's a leader on the pitch, and he covers a lot of ground. He's in the top ten in the league this year for completed passes, blocks, interceptions, tackles and distance covered. He's young(ish), improving, Premier League proven and has worked with Pep before. And his contract is running down.
It's an absolute no-brainer from where I'm sitting.

Even if I disagreed, I'm going to say 'yay' as even you at CM would currently improve what we're offering! 🙂
Neves is slow though, isn't he?
