Says Laurentiis wanted some of the money back after he signed Koulibaly from Genk and realised he was three inches shorter than he had read on the Internet 😆

I hope people riot if this happens.

No thank you. Not what we need at all.

Good player but 3 or 4 years too late. No.

Buy him and sell him to Barca straight away for 30m.

Not sure about that. I hope Arteta isn't too stubborn for his own good. Seems like he's trying very hard to imprint his vision with select personnel and traits, all preconceived. Basing this off Mari, Soares, this rumor plus his use of DLPs and full-backs. Needs to (if he isn't) take into account his scouting network and the way the league is shaping as well. Otherwise he's capable of falling into the same traps as Emery, namely failing to translate theory to effective practice. Or perhaps this is Edu/Raul showing signs of convenience again.

The only plus I can think of is that Willian still has a bunch left in the gas tank, having been inconsistently used by Conte, Lampard and Sarri.

No. Why do we need this guy in our frontline? He will just eat Nelson’s minutes. He can go to Spurs.

Or piss themselves laughing.

You guys don’t seem to understand how far up shit creek we’re going to be in if we don’t champions league this year.

And Willian is going to help us get out of there?

I'll take Nelson. He actually knows how to play football.

We're not going to catch Chelsea and co by taking on players who aren't good enough for Chelsea and co.

Pretty much. What are we, their retirement home?

We're the club that allows players to sabotage us on matchdays merely days before they join those very opponents.

See Oxlade-Chamberlain and Petr Cech.

Willian wasn't even great in his prime.

Ox moving to Pool was the single greatest thing he's ever done for Arsenal FC.

worked out for arsenal and worked for ox because he will get to call himself a champions league and league winner. but liverpool paid big bucks for a player whose role could have been filled by a 5m player.

Unbelievable ability for me. Shocking decision making unfortunately. I dont watch enough footie anymore to know if he sorted that bit of his game out recently. But I'm almost certain he hasn't. He used to skin 3 players and then delay and pick a bad option a fraction of a second to late and kill the move.

You're making him sound like someone we already have on our books.

Now getting linked with Miguel Almiron.

I hope this is just media bullshit.

Kinda concerned United is pushing hard for Jude Bellingham. Why ain't we interested?

Maybe he's not all that?

Never heard of him, but impressive that he's playing regularly at 16 years old.

Looks really promising to me. 16 year old with such maturity and tackling ability at CM. 

Sabitzer I like! Does a bit of everything in midfield.

Bellingham looks a bit awkward and leggy from the very little I've seen of him.

Mixed feelings about RB. I want so many of their players. But it would also be good for them to keep their players and challenge Bayern’s dominance. But in 2020 is the only weapon against Bayern another corporate concoction?
Can we just have a corona hiatus and come back with a plan to save European football from itself?

As much as I want someone to challenge Bayern, RB are scum.

That’s a shame. A few links to Jota.
