This one baffles me, Wolfsburg having such a terrible season it seems like a step down considering they won't be in Europe next season. Considering teams like Arsenal were being linked with him previously?

Why go to Arsenal to sit on the bench when he can go play football and make himself a bigger name?This one baffles me, Wolfsburg having such a terrible season it seems like a step down considering they won't be in Europe next season.

It might not have been his first choice club but I guess he just wants to play football. Don't think of this as one of our top players leaving for a better league. Bazoer hardly even played for us, he usually just watched the games from the bench. His last game was probably 2 months ago.This one baffles me, Wolfsburg having such a terrible season it seems like a step down considering they won't be in Europe next season.

He left for a team that will give him time on the pitch because he doesn't have the will or patience (or believe or whatever else) to fight his way back into the team.
Well kind of but it's not that easy. He just hasn't been very good for a long while now. Second half of last season he was pretty bad and de Boer even seemed to lose confidence in him towards the end of the season.Thanks for the insight. So it seems to be more of a mentality thing than talent.
£24m. Not even half an Oscar.
Di Marzio report the Argentine is viewed as a priority for Los Che following on from a meeting between manager Cesare Prandelli and owner Peter Lim in Singapore earlier this week, in which the January transfer window and player arrivals and departures were the focus.

Incredible what can change in a few months. In the summer the number on here who would have wanted to keep Rojo around would have been minuscule.I can't believe I'm saying this, but Valencia can feck off.
I still think long term we should sell him. But I don't think we'd be able to get a replacement for a decent fee in Jan, so there would be little point in selling (especially with Bailly leaving for AFCON next month.)Incredible what can change in a few months.

Yeah maybe we evaluate end of the season. Part of me just thinks it's good form, I'm still dubious as to his talent. But credit where it's due, he's made a lot of us rethink about him.I still think long term we should sell him.

Exactly. He's in good form, bar the 2 horror tackles which he really needs to iron out of his game. But I think we should be trying for a higher level CB in the long run. Saying that, Rojo, on form, is a very decent squad player to have around.Yeah maybe we evaluate end of the season. Part of me just thinks it's good form, I'm still dubious as to his talent.

This is the advantage that big clubs have now that everyone has money in the Premier League. You can sell unwanted players for large sums that you wouldn't normally get. We got £15 million for Ibe.Pretty much getting our money back?
Ask for Cancelo in return or quote them what they have quoted others for Otamendi and Mustafi.
Laxalt isn't even Argentinian and we're supposed to believe this shite.
Rojo playing really well - lets sell him
It's ridiculous. I don't understand some fans.Let's sell Zlatan too. He came on a free so it's all profit.
Well it's relatively simple, if you believe that Rojo is in fact playing way above his level currently and that won't last for a prolonged period (which is what evidence suggest) then it makes sense to sell him now.It's ridiculous. I don't understand some fans.
Rojo surely will now. Even he drops down the pecking order at CB, Mourinho will still value his ability to play two positions.Good chance nobody in that photo will be playing for us next season.
France Football saying newly-promoted Chinese side Tianjin Songjiang is ready to offer 50 million euros for Cavani and they also want to sign Pastore.
From watching a video of him he seems like a very attacking fullback. Taking those long runs to overlap and his crossing + passing is very good.
Could be something in this.
Edit: He got 10 assists last year
To be fair, when we played against them in the EL, he stood out as a very good player. Caught my eye when we played in Rotterdam, completely nullified our left flank. I personally hope there's something in this rumour as I seriously was hoping we caught some interest in Karlsdorp.Yeah but that's in the Eredivisie. In the Premiership that's like -3 assists.
