After watching this video i realized he needs to play more forward, he has the vision and technique to play great through balls but he needs to take more risks. Sometimes he plays too 'safe' .

Because thats what xavi instructs him to do. His and gavi absence this season is the reason we fell short of close battle for ll with referee madrid.

Don't mind, but I am pretty split on whether that's a good idea or not.

Also begs the question what his idea his. Leave or run down his contract? But I think he wants to join Bayern. Makes far too much sense.

I don't rate him that high but we don't have the luxury to go without him, unless we somehow got an excellent DM + bernardo ... which is not going to happen.

If he wants to fulfill his contract without committing let him do so in the stands. Put him there and forget about it for two years.

Harsh on us due to costs but high time we send a message or every bum that overestimates his contribution to the squad is gonna take advantage of us.

This.

We cannot be low-balled like with Dembele.

Good thing is De Jong have 2 more years contract so we are still good.

They need to do the same with Araujo or any player with two years left on their contract right now. Either renew your contract by December at the latest or sit on the stands for the rest of the season after that. With the World Cup in 2026 I doubt any player would want to barely play until then.

Cannot let players run their contracts down to one year and sit with all the leverage, unless that player is like 33+. That's how you end up with a Dembele situation.
