Nah, he's just trying to throw people off.
It's obviously a thing

What's funny about that?I think he played less than half because he only came in on loan in January if memory serves me correctly. Didn't see him play myself but heard Albion improved alot after he came into the side and they wouldn't have been relegated on their form with him in the side.
Tbf, I don't think Bruno Lage worked at Benfica when Bernardo left to Monaco. That was years before Bruno arrived, iirc. But I might be confused.What a signing he would be. Things in our favour are he worked with Bruno at Benfica, and really likes the guy. Uncle Jorge is his agent. He's Portuguese.
Things against him are his fee would be big, and his wage demands even bigger. Would be perfect for our midfield..
OK, the pink elephant just flew past...
Read it back.What's funny about that?
That's true, but Donk doesn't even recover particularly well either. It's like he impacts nothing (other than my frustration levels) when the balls anywhere near him. He can track a runner, and make a run, but other than athleticism and token height, he achieves nothingRead it back.
You haven't watched him play but Albion wouldn't have been relegated if he'd been there all season.
You must know how daft that reads?
For those pontificating on Donk's perceived weakness with the ball, Yokoslu makes Donk look like prime Pirlo.

Nonsense. He's a very good player. I watched him a lot and he was their best player by a country mile (admittedly not saying much!)Read it back.

Pretty sure Bernado Silva bigged Bruno up as one of his influences in his earlier years. I may be talking bollocks though..Tbf, I don't think Bruno Lage worked at Benfica when Bernardo left to Monaco. That was years before Bruno arrived, iirc. But I might be confused.
I think I read somewhere he coached him in the youth set up and had a big influence on him mate. Cancelo aswell apparently.Tbf, I don't think Bruno Lage worked at Benfica when Bernardo left to Monaco. That was years before Bruno arrived, iirc. But I might be confused.
Oh I agree Donk can do much better, he's shown as much and he has been frustratingly poor this last 12 months.That's true, but Donk doesn't even recover particularly well either.

How can you have an opinion on a player you haven't seen?You read it back.......

Jesus Christ man.
Yes, this from the Athletic. It was Cancelo not Silva who called him a father figure.I think I read somewhere he coached him in the youth set up and had a big influence on him mate. Cancelo aswell apparently.
Well it isn't nonsense, it's just a different opinion.Nonsense. He's a very good player. I watched him a lot and he was their best player by a country mile (admittedly not saying much!)
I talk to my friends, it's greatHow can you have an opinion on a player you haven't seen?
Unless you're blind in which case I apologise.
