This, and I think that’s why he will stick around as he knows GP won’t make him defend for 90 minutes. GP said his best position is further up the pitch let’s hope we play him there as the lad has goals in him.

I also agree. Fingers crossed. :thumbsup:

We have to get rid. He just isn't good enough.

He was absolutely gash for the first season but looked alright at times last time out. Obviously scoring a couple of great goals will instill confidence but I reckon this is the season he either shits or gets off the pot.

Really ?

What about the line
“ Jahanbakhsh also confirmed that he has some teams in the Netherlands and a team in Germany are ‘serious’ about signing a contract with him.”

Seems to me it’s far from certain he’s staying, just I’ve covered all bases set of replies by a model professional as AJ is...

Absolutely nothing concrete either way.
I meant based on all the stuff I'd read in the last week, not this particular article.

The mood music has changed from Ali moving on to Ali concentrating on breaking through at the Albion.

Strongly disagree with this statement, he simply does not fit into our style at the moment.
I really, really hope we can utilise him more this season, because there is a very good player with bags of untapped potential at present.

I would hope so but after 2 seasons, it just doesn't look like it's going to happen here for him.
Maybe it's confidence? Or not suiting our style? To me he seems to lack a few things. That burst of pace you need to play his role he clearly doesn't have. The sharpness needed at this level just doesn't seem there. He looks poor technically just when he's running, and when he's got the ball, it all looks abit unnatural to him.
It's things like a one off overhead kick or a hopeful shot from range that he can offer but teamwuse he really doesn't offer much.
I can't see what more he can offer us for us to want to keep him.?

It seems obvious Potter is not interested in him. But we gave him a long, well paid, contract and there's a suspicion, for me, that he's happy to train hard, not play, take his salary.
Bit of a mis-step also to assume Premier League goal of the season!

Not sure I agree played really well against City at Wembley big reason why they didn’t score 4-5 all about opinions though.

Plus the obvious game plan was 'win with a set piece' of which he won :wink: more than his fair share and in a VAR world would have get them down to 10 men (not that would have helped much)

on a different note I was thinking last night are most of the PL teams apart from the big boys obviously already beaten by City before the whistle blows as in a mental thing. They looked a bit ordinary last night as Lyon didn’t sit back and let them dictate play like PL teams seem to do. We always look beaten before kick off.

The Football Weekly Podcast chaps were saying much the same, even before they were beaten the other night.

I don't think under GPott we look beaten, certainly not compared to CH, the squad just keep allowing them to be clinical while they themselves flounder in front of their goal.

Clearly the games are no longer going to be 1-0, 0-1, but I can see a time when the 5's become 2's and the 0's become more than zero. :lol:

Respectfully disagree, simply judging by his reaction/celebrations for his goals against Bournemouth and Chelsea. Serious offer from Germany may even offer more lucrative contracts and less scrutiny which he’s clearly subject to over here.

For that analogy to work GP has to give him access to the pot in the first place.

Ajax have sold right winger Ziyech to Chelsea and have money. Just sell Ali J to them and cut our losses.
