Fabio Silva starts a CL match vs Inter Milan.

How? Just how?

Does - literally - the whole football world spot something that we failed to see?

If it helps, I've spotted something you've failed to see. It's a dead rubber for Dortmund

It helps. Slightly. Thank you.

Good. Keep him away from the Premier League, would break my heart of any player returning playing against us.

 

[Lycan]

Such a shame. I would've loved to see him at somewhere like Madrid or Barcelona.

The guy does himself more harm than good by his loyalty sadly, but love him for it. Personally agree, would've been so pleased for him to join a non British European giant and see him recognised for how good he is.

 

[Del Woppio]

I wouldn't call it loyalty that's keeping him there tbh. Going from £400k a week tax free back to his market rate is quite the motivation to stay

He's 28 yo. What a way to spend the peak of your playing career. I guess he has 18 million reasons each year for staying put.

A couple of hours ago Nelson Semedo walked past me, about ten yards away.

That's the sort of anecdote you can't put a price on.

Were you in a pub called "The Back Post"?

Yup. He'll earn enough over his career that he'll never have to work again, whether that's 100k a week at a European side where he could earn medals, or more in Saudi where he'll win fuck all.

He would easily fit into a City or Arsenal side.

It did seem like Ruben cared about football when he was with us, like wolves mattered to him and football in general mattered to him too.

I didn't think he'd be one for being so mercenary about the game and would have preferred to be playing in big European competitions

 

[YoungWolf]

He just can’t bare to play for anyone else in Europe. That’s what I’m choosing to believe.

I don't believe Europe, I think I do believe England.

 

[Kenny]

From his interviews he has the perfect life out there.
Spends most of the day with his family as training is in the evening and of course now has a money vault that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous.

I don’t think Solbakken would have taken us down though. And if we’d kept him that month we’d have had to back him with signings more suited to his style.

Not to say he was doing well or that he didn’t even deserve to be sacked though. I’d say Saunders did make us worse though, we didn’t win any of his first ten!

I don't care that this was over a week ago, when I see Solbakken come up, I can only think of him punching through the dugout glass after Bakary conceded a 90'+ penalty that missed us drawing a match.

Ah, apparently happened in a first half in response to an equalizer after Sako played a bad pass. Details...

 

[Tony Towner]

He'd have relegated us, just look at the direction of travel. He even lost to a none league side, granted he was already sacked, but he didn't know it. Sacking him was absolutely the right thing to do, employing the idiot who replaced him not. As much as Saunders only got the job because Morgan played golf with Souness, Solbakken did because he played with Molby.

 

[Alan]

I didn't say anything about should or shouldn't have sacked him. Just that he punched a fucking hole through the dugout.

Legend shit, that.

But had a managerial cv at a level that Saunders could only bullshit about.
