It’s interesting the captain discussion and the credentials etc.
Not many factored in just how much every single player wanted to win that trophy not just for themselves but for Sonny - as so many of them have mentioned in social media posts and interviews since.
There’s more than one way to inspire people.

It's the same old thing of their goals mattering because they led to something tangible. Until now Son hadn't won anything so despite scoring more his goals are really associated with any specific moments or achievements.
It's why it is important to win trophies to give your achievements weight. Happily Son now has that with us and can safely attain legend status for us. He's the world class or close to World class player that actually stayed here despite all the pressure to leave for greener pastures and stuck his neck out to actually win here.
Quite poetic that it has come towards the end of his effective playing career with us. I hope the win eases any pressure he might have felt to finally get one over the line

I'm pleased we won.
Concerned for the future. But he has written himself into the history books, alongside Ramos.

He's been playing whilst slightly injured a lot of the time, so it is hard to assess his pace. He still has moments where he looks fast.
Probably true of every player. They have a choice to either play whilst slightly injured, or sit it out. They put their body and reputation on the line, to play in the match, then we criticise them, whilst their team mates might sit it out.

Might be end of an era for quite a few....
Hopefully it's not the same with yang.

I assumed he would play his final year and then go on a free, But the fact that being the captain he is not involved in the new kit launch speaks volumes.

I'm on the fence.
When Sonny was used the right way, he looked like he could still contribute a great deal. That for me is perhaps starting one match a week and finishing the other from the bench. He should be playing in the region of 90-120 mins in my mind. Workload management will be key for managing his future wherever he plays next season.
The other perspective is that Sonny is an Asian revenue generating machine. It's a chalk and cheese scenario to the Kane situation we found ourselves in. Sonny isn't worth the transfer value that Kane is. Kane wouldn't be filling as many match day seats and selling as many shirts as Sonny.
Only Saudi could change that dynamic. If they went big on an offer, it's perhaps the only one we need to take.

I hope he either stays with us or goes and joins Mason at WBA. He's too classy for middle eastern bloody money

He deserves to play at a higher level than Saudi Arabia. Besides, not all multi millionaire footballers feel they need to go and earn the petrol dollar
Would be a great way for him to bow out. He's no longer good enough to be a starter and want him to be remembered for what he did at his peak rather than a shadow of the player he was, hanging on too long.

Without a doubt. So does Ruben Neves, Fabinho, Brozovic, Toney and many others who enjoy the big fat pay cheque.
Join Harry at Bayern for one last show?

They've got Coman and Grnaby so are a bit too well stocked in his position.
Maybe he could go and hang out with Lloris in California for a few years?
