Exactly the same. I ponder this often, the mid life crisis thing. I feel like I achieved so much more in my 20s. And I spend a lot more time thinking and battling with myself over decisions these days, usually never making any by the end of it all. I struggle to enjoy life like I did, even though I know deep down it's pretty good.

More and more convinced by the day that it was a mis kick

Seems sensible to retain him but he must be on a hefty wack. Wage reduction surely.

Are you not let me entertain you

But it says European footy is a factor... And I've just seen that we *want* £30m. I rushed reading it and assumed that was their opening bid. We're ****ed

I could honestly see us bottling top 2 without him and Wilf. In fact I'd actually expect it. £30m is miles off too, but we let Barnes go for an equally ridiculous price...

**** **** **** ****

Not too hard, hopefully 🫣

Surely they could've waited a week, or even a few more days?! I reckon he would've really kicked on over the next few weeks. Seems like a situation where everyone loses out! He's not a prem player at the mo, that's for sure.

Agree with all that, bar the 12-18 months bit. I'd say the decline started 3-4 years ago now. Heart says stay but head says we need to move on now.

Yes but it's a totally fake reaction. They all do it. He already knows what his team mate is capable of! And it happens every week.

Footballers who put their hands on their heads in 'disbelief' at something good their teammate has done. So performative and embarrassing.

Staggered at how much respect we paid them. Tinpot on and off the pitch but we played like we were the away team at Old Trafford 20 years ago!

He'll develop into a decent player but he's not up to the required standard at the mo. Shouldn't be starting games for us.

I remember him being in the 20 best paid players in the world at one point, about 2002 I'd guess.

Not often you see goalkeepers who are scared of footballs. Always felt it was a weakness in his game.

Man utd at home could be fun I predict a championship team away

Astonishing. I mean there can't have been a worse PL keeper in history. He was a 2 goal head start for opponents and we'd still be playing in that division had he never worn the shirt. Fingers crossed though!

Feel.for him a bit. Never played in a well performing team or under a good manager really. I was never convinced but he's easily a Championship player and if anyone could improve him it's Enzo. He might have to, as I'd imagine we gave him a mega wage after a few mediocre first team showings.

We can field a rotated side that is still competitive. And we need squad players fresh and ready for the month ahead anyway, so I'd be resting most regulars.

Bench doesn't look the best. Let's hope Cannon has plenty of goals in him!

Should be going to a prem team really. Fingers crossed though!

Such an underwhelming player. He's not quick, strong, dynamic. He's not a goal threat, nor does he put much of a defensive shift in. He doesn't want to he here and it never looked like he did. Just get him out and use the 2-3 mill of saved wages on someone who ticks some of the aforementioned boxes.

I've not read a single post because I don't want to conform or be put off by those posters that jump on others' negativity. But I was really frustrated with us tonight. Clearly the more capable side, but as is often the case, almost seemed desperate to make a game of it, rather than just put it to bed. We are too good for this league but we play such casual and careless football at times and the thought of playing like this in the PL next year is scary. We'll get hit for 4 or 5 once a month wothout question.

Can anyone post the full thing please? Athletic have had enough of my money for a bit x
