Perhaps we could give him to Chelsea, in return for a big lump.
I dont think he has signed a professional contract yet. So we would literally be giving him away.
But, as you say, he had his chance, and he did well. He'll always have that :-)

His parents are his agents and are both Gold Members - so that's good.
He may also turn into a big lump in time anyway.

I dont think red was being terribly serious about the big lump thing. We have plenty of players who aren't but still retain Arteta's favour- Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Odegaard.
Of course, he has slowly destroyed them all, but the key word there is slowly....

Exactly. We're never going to win the Net Spend Cup like this :-\

I saw a tenuous link to us and Sorloth from Athletico. Then I saw that he leads the way in terms of ariel duel's won in Europe :cloud9:

Bournemouth paid ?10m for Junior Kroupi as an 18 year old.
Just saying :-)

Indeed - He was from the French second division and bought from the club with the same owner - in return for letting Romain Favire go the other way also on the cheap.

Very impressed from what I?ve seen of him so far. Absolute steal.

Indeed. Scored a lovely goal against Barcelona the other night too.
You must be concerned Mikel saw it and Alvarez will end up at Old Trafford :-\
