Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Anyone else see him headbutt the 4th official ?
Don't let your misguided loyalty to a club that laughs in your face whilst milking your own breasts get in the way of earning millions while you work yourself to the bone.

It's not about buying or not buying anything - I was at the game and was surprised to read about this afterwards as I genuinely didn't see anything untoward at the time.
The only people who say he had a tantrum were BBC Cardiff, the BBC sport, Guardian etc make no mention of "Sanches storming off" in their match reports, which would be a big story if it actually happened.
Has anyone got a link for this? As others are saying, listening live on the radio it seemed like he’d quite clearly downed tools. No one else seems to have made a fuss over what would have been a big story though and it didn’t even feature on the brief highlights.

I was at the game, I saw it differently.

Naughton did the same at Stoke last season. I couldn't believe how that received little / no attention either.
Sanches most definitely was brought in with playing him in the no.10 role in mind.
He has the skill to play there, but nowhere near the accuracy or consistency. He could be pushed deeper or wider, but he's a no.10 who's currently very poor at it.
And this is mostly correct, Moscow.
Sanches and Clucas were the intended replacements for Siggy, that much is clear. We spent the majority of the Siggy money on them, and we brought in nobody else. Those are the facts.
Clement preferred to play a system similar to Atletico's (which I highlighted after he took over last season) that alternates between two strikers up top and a 4141 with one of the strikers dropping deep or out wide. That is typically Griezmann, and Ayew has been the player that has assumed that role most frequently this season, just as Siggy did last season. No room for a classic '10' and that is all down to Clement's preferred setup.
But in terms of replacing Siggy, Sanches/Clucas were the players brought in to do that. Whether they play in the '10' role is irrelevant, as we didn't play with one at all under Clement, including last season with Siggy. Sanches/Clucas were quite clearly intended to replace Siggy's production, in a system structured with two wide midfielders tasked with assuming the principle creative duties. They have both failed miserably with this, hints why they have been shuffled all around the pitch (and on the bench) to try and find some value in them. Siggy can be played anywhere and still be a quality performer. These two can quite simply not.
Signing them has been truly catastrophic decisions by our club for on the pitch results, which has now essentially doomed us to relegation. Which is as bad as it gets for us financially. If we had just signed Viera (or Sabitzer/Hazard/Suso/etc.) instead of this pair, like I suggested this summer, we wouldn't be in this position. C'est la vie, I guess.
I'm not sold on Viera to be honest. I tend to put a lot of weight on a player's track record when shelling out on someone. Just like I wouldn't have shelled out 13m+ on someone released by Lincoln a few years ago, and one good season at Hull, I'm not sure Viera justifies the price tag based on one decent season.
Our gaps are so blindingly obvious though.
Questions about his ability?
Viera is 7th in EUROPE for both key passes (just below De Bruyne) and dribbles (tied with Mbappe). The guy is literally a world-class creator and dribbler, among many other skills, and has been for three seasons now. Not one like you said. His stats over that time period:
And some visual evidence below if you'd like. He he is (and Mesa too) showing his supreme quality against Real Madrid last season. The same Madrid that won the Champions League:

Yet only Burley and Newcastle - who will be among the favourites for relegation each year want him.
Even the teams that witness him week in week out (Real, Barca, Valencia, Atletico) all happy to let him play for botton club Las Palmas. Wonder why?
Maybe because they realise La Liga as a whole is extremely week in which the top 5 in the Championship is worth more than the whole bottom half of La Liga? As Mesa found out, stats mean nothing in a league where waltzing through a defence is common practice.
You ststs also do not reveal the fact that 60% of Vieras goals come from the penalty spot. And as youtube would show you as you know - the penos he does score are shocking, amazed more havent been saved than what they already have.

The same Burnley that sits comfortably in 7th place in the supposed "greatest league in the world", you mean?
Viera has scored 9 penalties. 9/20 goals is 45%. You're really bad at math for such a "finance" expert. And keep in mind, Viera's main value is in creating scoring chances and his ball skills, which he is world-class at.
You clearly don't watch La Liga at all or football in general, too much time spent on PS, surely. You were on here literally all weekend obsessively arguing about a former player, casinos and gambling strategies, FFS.

Get a life, Dimi, you troll.
Yes the very same Burnley. The same Burnley that will be among the relegation favorites next season.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-viera/elfmetertore/spieler/153238 Viera has scored 12 penalties which is c.60% of the figure you stated. By all means if you were talking about just Las Palmas penalties and goals then it would be 45% - either way that is almost half his goals. Take that from an expert.
You realise that PS isn't a physical place right Nivvy? I am sure you post on here and continue to watch your youtube drivel day in day out. right?
As I have taught you, screaming troll won't make people like you more, and certainly wont make your point any better.
