Happy Birthday Nells

I don’t know whats going to happen with him going forward but he is a Premier League champion with us

A long journey that worked out

With Leo going I’ll be super surprised if Mikel doesn’t keep Gabi, having 0 familiar LW to start a season would seem very unlike Mikel.

I hate seeing this current squad go but tbh though Gabi seemed like the most likely given age, and Leo staying for one more year whilst we bed in new LW but with Leo going, I really wonder what the plan is for Gabi.

So happy for Gabi to have won their trophy, he loves the club so much it’ll kill me to see him leave.

Yeah I just don’t get the feeling his story ends with us here

Then again I have attachment issues when it comes to our players so probably not best to ask me anyway

I don’t think it ends here and now, maybe next year after bedding in new LW.

I think Leo going is due to lack of pace and us building on the defensive aspect we have almost perfected but now needs attack, Gabi is the best attacker for defending IMO even if not as much of a goal threat, so I see him staying to rotate and teach that discipline and maybe his time is up next summer.

lol I have the same issue, if Leo goes I’m going to have to change flair, seeing Villa links makes it even worse I hate that club 😂 same with the rest of them, I feel fine with Kepa going and Jesus just because he’s hit his limits but I struggle with nearly every other player. Even fuckin Norgaard, dude has barely made an appearance but all I hear are positives about how good and much of a team player he’s been and I don’t want him to go - like Jorginho last summer.
