It’s not even hyperbole as said it a few times now….someone offers £30m+ for Abdul and you sell don’t you? 
 

 

No, because we wont spend it

I think you’d have to seriously consider it. I don’t think the club would though. 

 

He’s clearly got potentially but his decision making at times is woeful.

Probably compression due to Sky "having to" broadcast 33 consecutive games.

I assume you mean concurrent, because 124 hours of back to back football would be banging at this time of year.

This version of Abdul but when he is on form and the team has full confidence back he is a 80+ Million pound player 

[Pliskin]

I do feel with Abdul it’s more down to what he is being asked to do…. The tactics Marti deploys are ****ing rancid, slow, ponderous unadventurous football…. The expectation is Fatawu created something from nothing all of the time… eventually that takes its toll…..

[RizLCFC]

Anyone watching on Sky Sports+…I can never get that to work for me.

Always an excuse for the favourites...

Bank holiday when Ayews contract expires 

[Fear Of The Fox]

The only way to manage players like Fatawu is via fines. You sub him off in the HT and straight away announce a fine of 20k and 2 weeks wages. There's no other way to treat players like him.

I don't know how else we could play the game today with what we have available

Should the two until Souttar is fit, at which point see which of Okoli and Souttar partners better with Nelson

 

I'll be amazed if Souttar plays a lot of football this year. He doesn't just need to recover, he's going to be miles and miles behind.

Our football is rank but that doesn’t mean that Abdul becomes this predictable and quite frankly, a below average winger.

 

He gives the ball away a lot by running into players when cutting inside, rinse and repeat.

 

He needs to mix up his play, as it’s so predictable.

Yeah good luck getting that kind of contract to stick

Surprised Fatawu hasn’t shot there

he's been mostly crap this season, but realistically would anyone look better when there's no such thing as an attacking pattern in this team?

[coolhandfox]

Fatuwa having a game to forget again.

[Rubbersoul]

I’d genuinely get Fatawu off at HT. This has been so poor

That is the time when he probably should have had a go

I am. It's working for me. Did take a little while to load after I pressed the red button though.

[Dan]

Not watching. Stats implying another pretty poor display.

[moore_94]

1-1

 

Dreadful

I would because he’s on a yellow and we are wrong side of the ref currently 

[EastAnglianFox]

still no clean sheet then
