Wan Bissaka came through, and is still doing it at Selhurst, well last Saturday anyway.
The cash United stumped up for him a few years back paid for the new main stand they were building at the time, without that they would still have a dilapidated shit hole, on all four sides.
I am telling you Nicolas Pepe was born and grew up in France, and is therefore French.
Are you saying Mbappe isn't French?
You are choosing to ignore that I have said twice that I don't hold an opinion on whether African players don't see big bids for them as much as others, I don't have enough...
I am sure there was, but you are going back 20 years for some of those players. I really don't have an opinion about the validity of the claim that African players tend not to go for big money, just that Nicolas Pepe is French, as is Riyad Mahrez by the way.

So, whilst the window saw a lot of...
I believe all loans are season long and can only be cancelled by mutual agreement between the two clubs, you can't stick it a loan deal to have the option.
My guess is Napoli have not bid enough for us to say yes, and Gilmour doesn't want the move enough to be a pain in the arse about it.
Yesterday's performance was committed, it might encourage a bigger bid from Napoli, but it certainly wasn't a player not wanting to risk an injury that would...
