Isn’t there some odd deal that Rafa is fined if he leaves his contract early?
Keeping him and giving him 50m net in the summer is a no brainer surely
Rafa’s contract is done at the end of the season. He’s free to walk if he so wishes and nobody would blame him if he did. For once, he has the FCW on the back foot but I expect no change in the situation, in a positive sense. If no money is coming, Rafa is going.Keeping him and giving him 50m net in the summer is a no brainer surely
Really interesting analysis on Perez. Does go to show some of our fans clearly don’t have a bloody clue as to what they’re watching at times...

“Indeed, statistically, he is the most effective forward in the Premier League for the defensive side of the game.https://www.premierleague.com/news/1184572?sf21130...
Nobody makes more interceptions, tackles or ball recoveries.”
I should add, I read somewhere a few months back, that Rafa had asked him to work defensively even though he’s playing in the ten area.
I suspect that’s because Rafa knew we needed to be very tight given the paucity of attacking options we had at the start of the year and GD may well make a difference in the round. If that’s the case, and I think it is, its fair to say that swathes of the criticism he’s received are really not justified.
