Sicario2

Dom nah ozil was on par if not bigger than VJ is now

tazmania

Josh Kronke would know from the US sports what it means to make blockbuster signings. Get him involved to do those stupid 7 year deals

Dom

Sicario2

Yeah this isn't like spending megabucks on Wirtz or Pepe. Vinicius is one of the best in the world in his position and has a genuine CL-winner aura.

Sicario2

Fuck it like Eze last summer I’m going to manifest this to happen

Dom

Klaus

Ozil might have been as popular as Vini is now, but Vinicius is a forward and has won multiple league titles and Champions League trophies. I believe Ozil only had a single league win at Real (in their defence they were up against the biggest cheats in football history).

--

Think the main factor working in our favor is VJ likely has personal beef with Mourinho over the racism issue.

Don't like the whiner, and not sure how Arteta would manage his ego and how it might impact dressing room dynamics, but, fuck it. Would be massive if we can pull it off.

Likely a contract negotiation stunt.

Sicario2 Bullshit ... he's a prima donna, the move from Spain to England is always hit and miss, he'd get kicked to hell and back twice a week and the pundits would instantly make him the sport's leading heel. There's a reason a lot of high-priced transfers are flops, and this one would be a pure coin toss over a couple of seasons.

Sicario2

Burnwinter Disagree. He would be joining the most stable club in the prem with the longest serving manager as well as joining fellow Brazilian teammates in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. He will have all the tools at his disposal to be a success for us. Everything is there for him.

This is not Auba joining us in 2018 at the peak of banter FC as our saviour. This is VJ being the final jigsaw in the puzzle for an on-slaught of the CL.

This is as about low risk a blockbuster signing is imo.

tazmania

It seems like too much of a coincidence reports of Liverpool wanting him next season come out the same day we're interested. Next up we'll have PSG and City interest.

Don't get too invested @Sicario2. Bitches be bitches to get that pay raise

Kel Varnsen

Vini is among the 4-5 best wingers in the world. It's him, Diaz, Kvara, Yamal, and Olise. Doubt he'll want to play in England.

Rohit

Kel Varnsen why not? It's the best league in the world and he has been through a lot an Spain with opposition fans with his own club supporting him but all felt very specious.

The challenge with him is, would we alter our wage structure, will the knowledge of his salary disrupt the amazing camaraderie and expectation within the squad. Two, he can be a nut case but Arteta can manage him is what I feel.

Rohit

Their stature is not the point though. The times are different. Then we signed Ozil to tell the world we were back in the big time. Here we stamp our position as the best in England and our claim to be the best in Europe. It will be a signing like no other in the history of this club if it happens.

Meatwad

Rohit
it's also the most physically taxing. the rise of PSG even has me realizing that being the best league is overrated if it doesn't lead to the biggest trophy. what's the point of beating up your body so that you can say well our 12th place team is probably as good as your 3rd place team. yeah congratulations on that, but your first place isn't better than our first place team. half the games, same money and more honors.

the only thing PSG and bayern have going against them is they don't have enough squad spots so he won't have much options outside of the premier league if he wants to get paid big money.

Kel Varnsen

Rohit

I think the physical demands of the league is something certain types of players avoid.

Tam

I'd have major concerns about his adaptability to the physicality of the league, his willingness to be a cog in an Arteta machine rather than a mercurial star, and more generally about his ego, but what a statement of intent signing Vinicius and Guimares would be for league winners.

tazmania

Tam more a statement about Arteta being a bit more flexible, showing her can handle an ego like him.

Vini is top 5 LW in the world, easily. You take his good and bad

Lukazan

Guys 😂

We are not signing V Jnr.

Tam

RowJimmy It was evident before we signed him that he didn't fit well into our dominant play style. He was supposed to be a backup for Havertz and an option for changing the game. Havertz's injury meant we had to start him

I don't think I've seen or read anything that supports this as being anything more than speculation.

RowJimmy

Tam
OK, it was my opinion at the time and I think it's been borne out.

Sicario2

Oh well it was fun whilst it lasted 😭

JazzG

Sicario2 He's got a year left on his contract, unless a contract is agreed there is no chance in hell Perez lets him walk away for free especially considering their spending this window.

I still am not convinced we sign him, more down to money reasons but Mourinho's opinion ain't gonna mean shit if it means losing him for free.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Fuck life
