The weirdest part is he was the best player in the premier league for 2 years and had far more goals/assists than Hazard. World class player at 29 years of age who should be at his peak for another few years and he just bombed. We'll probably never really know why.
he got ran into the ground carrying that Arsenal team. 3.5 straight years playing nearly every single match possible (with a prime Rooney-like workrate) for club. Plus two Copa America victories for country in back-to-back summers meant little to no time off. He was absolutely incredible in 14/15 and 16/17.
it’s no surprise he gets half a year of rest and recuperation and he looks the part again
no ill feelings at all, he clearly tried when playing it was just an awfuly bad fit in terms of the squad and a situation where his body didnt do what his brain wanted. a desperate transfer move forced by a desperate Jose which only stifled and delayed the emergence of a now settled front featuring Martial and Rashford. hope he continues to do well unless Utd-Inter in the final then i hope he flops again
