Mukiele


Yes they spoke before he signed

I just don’t really see why “come and suffer with me while I practice to become a coach” is a massive selling point to a player of Mukiele’s age, experience and ability

Delighted we have him, I think he’s superb
It wouldn't surprise me if a Champions League side from Italy or Germany are linked with him this summer. He clearly has the ability and at 28yo it's not like he is here for a final payday.
 
2 or 3 months ago when we were playing well and getting results it was hard to call. Roefs, Le Fee, Xhaka, Mukiele, Alderete and Sadiki all in with solid shouts.

Now I could only say Mukiele. Lose him for a few weeks and we've gone to shit.

One of the best players I've ever seen for us, I have no idea how we managed to find him and land him.
Mukiele is a huge miss, but also losing Rienildo on the other side has been a huge blow too
 
He is very good but nowhere near as influential as Xhaka has been
He has improved while he has been out injured it seems
He is one of the players that defo doesn't fit that phrase. He has been immense all season in different positions. He flings his arms about and get's frustrated as you can see he has that winning mentality and hates losing. Best RB I've ever seen play for us in my 49 years. Was a rock at CB as well
 
Correct. Mukiele guts the headlines as he is a threat going forward with the way we set up, but defensively Reinildo is equally important.

Given our formula/approach those two, Brobbey and Xhaka are the key players.
Agree, just hope we can get as many of our key 8-9 players on the pitch for next week

Roefs, Reinildo, Ballard, Alderete, Mukiele, Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee, Brobbey

Aye, definitely. I missed him out of my list of PotS candidates because I forgot about him - I haven't seen as much of him as the others at the games I've been to (most home games) with suspension, injury and AFCON, but silly red card at the start of the season aside, he's been as good as anyone.
 
Fingers crossed for this:

Roefs,
Nordi,
Ballard,
Aldarete,
Reinildo,
Xhaka,
Sadiki,
Le Fee,
Diarra,
Talbi,
Brobbey.
Has every chance that team but suspect there will be a few missing unfortunately. Highlights the need for another decent spend in the summer so we have a rotatable squad to keep up performance levels as they’ve dropped something chronic as of late
