I hope it’s true. He is our best player and has been making plenty of noises along the lines that he is willing to sign.
Assuming Mo is under wraps, the conversation will switch to what comes next. At that point I think Mane might be more vulnerable, especially as presumably he will still bring in a decent fee. I can’t see the owners wanting to put all of our strikers on bumper new deals as they grow old together. Firmino might be vulnerable too, but at that point, you have to ask how much we could sell him for.
If Mo has signed a new deal, I think Mane might go, and we will reshuffle the pack in the summer.
Mo, Jota, newbie, newbie, Gordon.
Mane, Origi, Minamino might be off, for say, David and Nkunku, or two of that sort of ilk.
Not entirely sure you can blame gambling companies for people ruining their lives. Like blaming the booze industry for alcoholism. You know the risks, your choice.
It’s both/and. Personal choice is part of it. But gambling is addictive, and at some point it takes hold of people. Some can have a flutter, win, lose, walk away. And do it all with money they have to spare. Others get trapped, and it is difficult to escape. Unfortunately, a large amount of those trapped didn’t have the money to spare to begin with, and they were gambling as a form of release, and it only made their lot worse.
You just explained smoking addiction, drug addiction, alcohol addiction as well as gambling addiction. I agree with @GermanRed that removing the temptation is not the solution (assuming that is what he has saying).
And now to make sure mods don’t warn me about straying off the topic….the current rumours bore me more than yesterday’s game (sorry if mentioning the game is once gain off topic, I just don’t know when to stop, but I’m not addicted, I don’t have a topic problem, I can stop any time I want).
Gambling businesses weren’t allowed to advertise until the government got in on the act with the national lottery. It was considered bad until they started doing it.
