It was a beautiful, calm finish but he made it easy with his wonderful first touch which was played to perfection. All of his goals for us have just been stroked in. He's such a lovely, natural finisher.
Said this last night. All of his goals are just CARRESED in.
In the long run, it might do us some good if he does go back to Barca as his old self. I mean other huge clubs are going to be far happier loaning out to this club if they see us as a good environment for their young superstars to spend a season.
I think that's the very definition of win/win.In the long run, it might do us some good if he does go back to Barca as his old self. I mean other huge clubs are going to be far happier loaning out to this club if they see us as a good environment for their young superstars to spend a season.
And of course we'll see him again in the Nou Camp when we play them in the Champions League after winning this competition.
If we wanted to sign him, all we have to do is trigger his release clause.
It wasn't so much the finish for me but the purposefully heavy first touch to burst past the Ajax defender into the space from which to stick it away with such efficiency. Awesome.
I reckon he can love it here without any expectation from most that he will stay. I think everyone knows the deal if he starts playing at anything like his full potential.
"He loves it here" is not bollocks.

"He'll stay" was never ever on the cards.
That was always the deal
Do we still have to wait until January, @chrisg?
Indeed! I'm confident we won't sell him though. I shall look forward to cheering him on next season from the new upper tier in the North Stand.
