Ismaïla Sarr

[cryrst]

We’d would have been miles away from relegation by then. Didn’t he get into double figures for goals that season? Or something like that? Our midfield weighed in with next to nothing…..

Seems that our current midfield is emulating that team 🤦

I'm happy to be exploited/commoditized if all that involves is playing football and being paid millions per year. Where do I sign up? Emailed info@cpfc but didn't get a reply...

I'd be more sympathetic to this if it wasn't coming from the agent. It's no better than the pimp accusing his girls customers of exploiting women.
Is the system any better than a cattle mart? Probably not, but having the single most expendable link in the chain pointing this out is a bit rich.

Jordan famously said of Cahill’s agent ‘He’s not pulling my pants down’. Unfortunately by not paying the agent he pulled his own pants down and we were relegated.

I always had quite a lot of respect for Jordan over that. But he was naive. His stance only works if every owner in the league matches it.

Naive in what way ?

In that he thought turning down transfers because of agent fees would start some kind of uprising to reduce fees and that he wouldn't be impairing his own club by not buying the best players.

We're supposed to be trying to tie down both Sarr and Mitchell to new deals
( mind you the term 'tie down ' seems meaningless these days).
I thought we wanted to get Sarr to sign a new contract earlier in the summer and assumed he was unhappy with the terms; hence the desire to move.
If the club is looking for Sarr to stay, I hope he has a new agent to negotiate with or we may have to use Luca Brasi to accelerate the discussions.

Possibly he could’ve made the difference, but would he have stopped the late goals we let in against saints and Charlton which ultimately sent us down? We’ll never know

He was a great attacking midfielder, scored loads of goals. We’d have had our flip flops on by the time we’d played Charlton.

Cahill is arguably the greatest header of the ball in PL history. Only average height, if that, but he scored 31 of his 56 league goals with his noggin. In comparison, Mateta's data is 8 from 50

in the closest relegation battle in premier league history, he could’ve made the difference, but we’ll never know for sure, knowing our luck he would’ve got injured first game

I’m pretty convinced he would have done.
AJ with 21 goals , probably more with Cahill playing.
Plus Cahills overall play and goals.
Him, Poyet and Bowyer arriving late in the box to score , proper box to box midfielders.

Couple of hundred grand probably cost Jordan tens/hundreds of millions.
Oh well I enjoy listening to him on talk sport now.

It’s funny you should say that because he enjoys listening to himself too.

100 percent.
He’s massively having himself.
Funny / controversial though.
I turn off at 1 o’clock , can’t be listening to hawksby and Jacob’s

It’s weird that with his height Mateta is zero threat from our corners with his head.
