It really would.

He wouldn't be able to cost us goals.

We can just not play him then, and hold onto him until we get some money for him (even if it's not much). Can also use him in Europa League/ cup games where we'll likely win anyway and need to rest the other defenders.


We'll likely lose games we're likely to win if Mustafi plays.

No matter how lowly you rate him no club is going to write off an asset worth millions of pounds.


Then sell him to the lowest bidder

Well yeah, I want him sold too. We're likely trying to get as much as we can for him though.

Perhaps if we offered a free holiday to whoever buys him, that might help. :dontknow:

I imagine it's a combination of him not wanting to leave and no club meeting our asking price.

I wasn’t actually that disappointed tonight. I thought we played well and if that AMN brain fart hadn’t happened, who knows what would have been. That’s a once in a decade moment. Definitely think we’re looking good going into the new season.

AMN is a walking brain fart, my god we have some liabilities.

We got dominated in the end. They probably could have had at least 4 on a normal day, or if their starters were in the whole game. We still suck when pressed hard and high up the pitch. Too many turnovers in our own half. We need to change our game plan when we aren't doing well with their press and passing from the back. Our CB's scare the living shit out of me with the ball at their feet when that happens.

This game was a in depth highlight reel of why we need an LB and CB beyond urgently.

Just watched the highlights.
Mustafi's defending for the Suarez goal. You can only laugh at this stage at how bad it was. There's no point being upset by it.
As for AMN - he's not a defender. Doesn't have the awareness to be a FB.

Hopefully we focus on rebuilding the defence over the coming years. I don;t think we have a single decent defender, with the possible exception of Sokratis. We'll concede a lot of goals again this year. 50+ again.
