Great stuff again today, just needs that final delivery and curb his enthusiasm a tad and we're made.

And to think you set quiz questions but believe that Billy Bremner played in the Premier League

I don't recognise the Premier League as being anything other than Division One.
I only use the term because I am FORCED to.

How can he possibly not be on the radar of every champions league side right now?
Big question is whether right back is his position. I could see him playing in a Sterling role in the not to distant future.

Someone convince me he deserved to get sent off.

I would be amazed if Tariq isn't with us for at the very least this and next season. My guess would be longer than that.
My logic being....
We have no incentive to sell.
We haven't sold a first team player since being in the Premier League
He came to us from a "big club" for game time. Saying to me, he won't want to wait behind TAA or someone for years
Foreign big clubs are less insulated from the financial effects of the pandemic than PL clubs
I hope we are in talks with him about improving his contract

I think you’re under-estimating how good he is.
We’ve not sold a first time player yet because we’ve not had one anywhere near this good. We’re not going to be able to turn down the bids we’re going to get for him and players don’t turn down Real, Barca, Bayern, PSG, Man City etc which is the level he is going to.
He won’t be behind anyone either, which ever of those massive club’s he goes to, he will be first choice.
Yes we should be improving his contract but I have no doubt it will have a massive release clause for Champions League clubs.
Should be here for the rest of this season but I’ll be surprised if he’s here beyond that.

Not underestimating his ability. I don't think even the clubs you've mentioned are going to be paying the money we would want for him. Normally they would be able do comfortably, less so at the moment.
Very happy to do a charity bet on this one if you'd like. Call it "Still here 1st Feb 2022?"

Absolute diamond. What a shame we aren't able to show him the love he deserves...
This. Our previous/other 'good' players e.g. Dunk have somewhat gone under the radar. While we all know how great Lewis is, there's not a huge amount of talk about him from other clubs' fans or the media, even if there has been interest from higher clubs.
But Tariq is everywhere, the media love him. Other clubs' fans rave about him. Any transfer interest will be highly publicised and I'd be amazed if we keep him beyond next summer, and it wouldn't surprise me if we struggle to keep him in January.
