Whether his statements are true or not, whether he is doing it to suck up to his new fans or not it's pathetic.
He wanted to leave here, he wanted to break up. You don't break up with a girl, find a new one supposedly better and keep yapping to her and her family about the old one in comparison. It shows a level of obsession and neediness I didn't assume he had.
Regarding the Sarri comments it's funny because if Demiral didn't tear his ACL De Ligt was on his way to be benched for good. He was that bad early on. Didn't improve a great deal afterwards with 2 different coaches either.
Also, all I heard from (some of) our and (all of) opposing fans during the BBC era was how easy it is for them to defend together in the area. Now suddenly a defender cannot defend below the half-way line?
I liked him very much here, but regardless of his level it's a fact nobody had more passes handed to him while making so many mistakes. Rugani for example was never on his level (duh), but he also never made as many mistakes leading directly to goals in all his seasons.
My suggestion would be to either learn how to defend or move to midfield my friend.
