What am I missing here ? Can only think there?s something in his contract that we make additional salary contributions unless he plays for a certain amount of games or some such other horse****.

Poor performance so far. Absolute shambles.Quote:

I've told myself it's because he missed the start of the season and so has never got up to speed, this quite patently nonsense but I'm sticking to it. As long as he performs in the 3 European matches, I'll take that.Quote:

At this point, I'd say MLS is miles ahead of Calafiori as our left back. Not even close.Quote:

That?s assuming Arteta embraces rotation. He?s not been great at that in the past but in fairness he?s not had that luxury this season.Quote:

I'd be happy with that but it ain't going to happen. it will be the midfield that started against Ipswich with Leo up frontQuote:
