He's played about 3 games in all of 2017.....we went on our best run last season without him......Davies has been excellent though not as eye catching as Rose, so I don't think it would be end of the world if he went.
But.....I don't want us selling to Man U.
We all thought we were really clever getting £54m for Walker but all we did was solve a major problem for Man City who are now 11 points ahead of us and we're not even in December yet.
I wouldn't say never ever sell to a rival but those deals are often ones you come to regret.
I'd keep the ungrateful little shit and tell him to prove he's as good as he thinks he is.
If we hadn’t sold ManC Walker then they could have gone out and bought an even better player and been even stronger.
The way they play can you imagine how many more goals and chances they’d have with Trippier as their rwb instead of Walker? Even Aurier would have been better value as he’s the same player as Walker but younger, and they also could have got Danny Alves and a couple of others around Europe.
I think it was a win/win. By selling them Walker we made them a little bit weaker than they could have been and we ended up no weaker at all and 50m up.
I think we can do the same with Rose to ManU.
This logic doesn’t always apply, but with these two (Walker and Rose) I think it does because the perception of their worth greatly outstrips their actual value and ability.
Davies has already matched Rose in goals and assists in 50% of the time. And we aren’t conceding any more either.
With a bit of imagination and good coaching ManU could do better than Rose. We have.
