I'd like to keep him around, just so he can persuade the next Egyptian talent to come to AFC.
Not a bad player anyway.

Willock? Really? Willock?Willock can basically do what Elneny does. I just see him as a dollar sign to increase the transfer kitty and free up wages.
He's a good basic player. Nothing more. He is a player who has very little influence on games, so he doesn't negatively impact games that often but he keeps things moving along a bit with his energy and OK passing. That's it really.Just really not a fan tbh.

If he wasn't an AFC youth player, he wouldn't be near a top club. Niles is class, but Willock seriously?

Willock played alongside Elneny vs Forest when we lost and put Elneny to shame, even when he struggled. Willock is a highly inexperienced 18 year old player. He hadn't even played U23 football before the season just gone. That he was able to even look remotely like he belonged in ANY game last season is a testament to his promise and ability. He's not our biggest prospect by any means, but he's not just some chump who lucked into the team. He's actually a decent all-round CM - can win tackles, pass and dribble to a competent standard and for someone so lacking in experience, makes decent decisions for his level.
Don't sleep on Joe Willock.
Think he will be sold now actually, which makes me sad. Such a happy, gentle soul.
Gallas was **** too. Always out of his position trying to score the important goals, costing us more at the end.Does El-Neny getting 4 top Gallas getting the 10? At least Gallas was a starter and captain.
I don't really remember him, but Gallas was one of the best CBs around.Gallas was **** too. Always out of his position trying to score the important goals, costing us more at the end.
Genuinely think Elneny - Torreira would be better than Xhaka - Torreira or Guendouzi - Torreira.
If all we are asking for Xhaka to do is play some decent passes, position himself to assist defensively and not lose the ball costing goals then Elneny is a better option. Elneny wont pick up yellows as too lazy to track a run (has an engine comparable to Ramsey) and has underrated passing ability.
Emery is missing a trick if the general consensus is Guendouzi is maybe not ready to partner Torreira yet.
Like the new avi dashThis thread just reminded me that Elneny now wears the no. 4 shirt, and I am overwhelmed with sadness.
