We bought him when he was 24?Great servant to the club, just wish we had him when he was younger. Don't know when next, if ever, we'll see such a perfect mix of brute strength and delicate skill at the Lane again

Yeah I'm aware. But he wasn't key to the side til he was about 27. I meant to say I wished he'd hit his peak at a younger age, or sustained it for longer.We bought him when he was 24?
PS we won
There is an entire thread dedicated to everyone's opinion on him as a replacement a d the ungodly cost it will take to get him.Any thoughts of Milinkovic-Savic as a replacement for Dembele?
I like the look of him, as he has the ability to turn defenders, good technically, albeit haven't watched much of him.
Theres a thread on him already, he's amazing but likely too expensive. He has the possibility to be the most expensive transfer of the summer.Any thoughts of Milinkovic-Savic as a replacement for Dembele?

I'm not fickle, I've never rated him.
Dembeles agent sure it talkative today.
But you rate Sissoko?
Sad to see Moussa off, but I don’t think there’ll be bad blood at all, he has been a fantastic servant and an outstanding talent, unfortunately we want to play a certain way and by all accounts he is admitting himself that he will struggle to continue play our system...
If we can get £30m-ish for him (maybe more if a China move comes in??) then we can look to reinvest that in a quality replacement...think we will need another player too, maybe a younger one as like an understudy...
Kovacic or Rabiot would be my A1 replacement...partner him with either De Jong, Diawara, someone like that...having those 2 plus Winks and Wanyama, plus Dier too, will give us some really good options going forward in midfield!
Not sure if I’d agree with that, he was absolutely key to the side when partnered with Sandro in the middle for that first or second season, until the big man got brokenYeah I'm aware. But he wasn't key to the side til he was about 27. I meant to say I wished he'd hit his peak at a younger age, or sustained it for longer.
I think the time is right to let him go. He struggles to be fit and when he is he rarely gets through 90mins.
Great player, really turned it around under Poch and will be sad to see him go.
