I'm not sure he's aware of the fact that he will, like you said, be played in the cups and sit on the bench alot.
Honestly, what are you on about son.
Mascherano's played twelve games for us, he's not played consistently in the premier league over a period of games, and he's not even a permanent signing. Sissoko has shown how good he is and you clearly don't rate him, Leiva is a youngster and will be coming here off the back of a strenuous Copa libertadores and U20 world cup. I don't envisage him playing many more game sthan Sissoko whatsoever. There is NO evidence whatsoever that our spending plans would be enhanced if we sold Sissoko anyway, and the £10m figure banded about is unconfirmed. If Alonso played the way he did at the end of last season I'd also like to see him move on - your standard of judgement, players have dips FFS!
Fallen down the pecking order? Is he not allowed a dip in form like everybody else? Just like Alonso? Get real, he's been re-signed for a reason, because he's bloody good at his job for a young player. Rafa wouldn't give him a new contract just to placate him, why do you think Rafa has been raving about him ever since he joined?
I can't wait until next season begins, all this rubbish that gets written about how we would be able to sign another top player if we sold Sissoko etc.... don't you think Rafa has thought these things through thoroughly? He's a football man through and through, he doesn't do things by popular demand, he does things his way.
