We are open to a straight swap for de Vrij. If Skriniar is willing to reduce his wage demands, we will, with the greatest of mercy, offer him an escape route.
On the contrary, whereas some clubs adopt a short term approach, we are modelled on the Chinese long term strategy. Steven has instilled in us a the sense that we think in terms of dynasties, or epochs. We patiently monitor players long enough until they are available on free transfers.
Im worried about Wanda. She wouldn’t betray us… this must be a hostage photo. Look at her lack of expression, she is so afraid that her skin seems almost stretched like a mask across her face.
We need to make a statement. Play Bisseck, Dumfries, Buchanan, Thuram, and whatever blank primavera players we have. The only exception would be Mkhitaryan to start over Frattesi.
