Thanks for the updateTo date , Sonny has played in each of our last 27 games, starting 24 of those.
If they seriously want him and are willing to pay something stupid we should definitely do it. He has less time left than the time we've already had him for and he's clearly in physical decline. A smart move would be to sell and reinvest the money because Son is only going to degrade further and further.Rumours around that United are wanting to sign him. This time they have no chance (unlike the Berbatov saga), Levy wont let him leave, he wont want to lose that revenue from the South Korean following every week
Yeah if anyone’s looking to do a big money move for Son we should sell and reinvest. That’s just football.If they seriously want him and are willing to pay something stupid we should definitely do it.

My thoughts as well, especially take the armband off him.I thought he would be off at the end of this season but we are going back to South Korea again for friendlies this summer. Maybe he is planning one more season? Either way we need to keep strengthening so he's no longer captain or regular starter
Do your talking on the pitch ffs. Or better still, on the bench.Poor old Sonny must be stuck in some Inception style dream within a dream if he still feels we need to wake up!
Hopefully he’s found his totem in time for next week’s game…
VicCan’t remember and was just wondering who took the armband after Son and Maddison went off last night? Just curious, nothing more than that.
Did hoddle really say last night that son was one of our top six players ever?
Now I love Sonny and his loyalty to us is a huge, huge plus for me, but top six player, I just can't see that.
Hoddle
Gascoigne
Ardiles
Perryman
Mabbutt
Bale
King
Kane
Waddle
That's just a list of the top of my head of the players I've seen playing for us that I think are better, before you add in the likes of
Mackay
Blanchflower
Jones
Greaves
Gilzean
Jennings
White
Chivers
Not trying to do son down, but I can't see the top six thing at all.
Son will be the type of person to have a go at a player for not doing his job and then go and give him a cuddle and apologise as he feels bad about it. Thats not captain material, you can’t make a nice guy a captain unfortunately.Should never have been made captain. WE could all see that his personality wasn't suited for the role. He needs to be able to concentrate on his own game, you could see from the beginning that the responsiblity weighed to heavy on him, he immideiately started playing more for the team, passing up shooting oppotunites etc
Secondly again it's the managers job to build a play style that suits the players he has. Asking son to come short, back to go, control in tight spaces, lay it off etc is never going to get the best out of him. He needs to be facing the other way. The best I've seen him play this season is when Davies has played, as Davies plays that chipped ball down the line for him to run on to.
Now it's a situation where he's knackered, confidence is shot and each game he plays worse than the last.
You can see him thinking...I should pass instead of shooting to make sure my teammate feels valued. It's what a captain doesSon will be the type of person to have a go at a player for not doing his job and then go and give him a cuddle and apologise as he feels bad about it.

Stupid decision to do so imo.Should never have been made captain. WE could all see that his personality wasn't suited for the role. He needs to be able to concentrate on his own game, you could see from the beginning that the responsiblity weighed to heavy on him, he immideiately started playing more for the team, passing up shooting oppotunites etc
He’s captain for commercial reasons only imo. I can’t think of a single reason why that would not be the case.
