Wilson palacios was of the same ilk very underestimated....
A shame if true, but it’s been on the cards. Absolutely unplayable when fit.
I was at The Lane to see his debut against Norwich. Scored in a 1-1. Didn’t really push on when it came to goals, but he had a unique ability to dribble the ball into the final third.
Holtby was in summer on an exercised loan option, not a Bosman...
Holtby's contract was due to run out in the summer. We agreed terms with him in January and he was going to sign for us in the summer. Sandro got injured so we paid a fee and signed him January instead.
Dembele can talk to anyone he wants in January to discuss terms but would still command a fee if they want him as soon as January.
Another example is Nigel de Jong - could have signed on a free transfer in the summer but Man City wanted him straight away so signed him for £18,000,000 in January instead.
I see you meant Holtby signing, not leaving. My bad...
Would be something like £8m, but I would rather keep him for the crucial second part of the season. Especially v Dortmund in the CL and the big games in the league.
Chinese Super League starts in March so if they want him in ready for the season to start - I imagine they'll sign him up in January. They're not really short of money. We could probably squeeze £10,000,000 out of them in all honesty.
One of the goals of he's that stuck in my mind is the goal away out in Lyon, one of the highs before champs league.
He could've scored more goals like that for us (3/4 a season), seems more like a mental thing.
I’m not very sentimental and the club seems to be gasping for cash right now. He hasn’t played much at all for us so far this season and Dier is set to return. I love him but would rather take 8-10million and start bedding in Berge/Skipp asap.
Gutted I'd this is true, will never get recognition for how good he truly was.
Genuinely unplayable at times, an amazing footballer and great guy to have around.
Good luck with everything Mouse.

It's like he tried it, decided it wasn't for him and pledged to never try a shot like that again.
A massive shame if he's off, I'd want another year of him at least, even as a bench option to piss off the opposition when we're leading.
Yeah, he certainly has the ability, one would be surprised what kind of rockets he can produce from 20-25 yards out.
There was an interview years back with Dembele who said he just hated shooting, which is why he never does it. When he was a child, he'd never shoot as the games he played with his friends were that you had to beat your man and stop it on the line to score a goal or something similar.
He always had one of those shoulder drops, move the ball to the left and rifle it into the bottom corner in his earlier years with us but he just stopped it his later seasons. He'd have a speculative shot from 25-30 yards every now and then which almost always went over but closer to goal, he preferred to just pass to a full back.

One of my favourite players but has definitely suffered more and more with injuries the last few seasons. Unplayable on his day but they are becoming fewer and further apart. Will be sorry to see him go if his is off but we also need players who can play regularly.
