£30m in summer 2019 with one year left on his contract Aberdeen was owed around 20 per cent of the transfer fee after insisting upon a sell-on fee when they sold him in 2013 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2841195-ryan-fraser-doubts-anyone-will-be-paying-30-million-fee-amid-arsenal-rumours https://arsenaltruefans.com/2019/05/bournemouth-set-asking-price-for-arsenal-target-ryan-fraser https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-ryan-fraser-bid-manchester-united-interest-liverpool-bournemouth-a8927176.html https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/23/arsenal-submit-first-bid-bournemouth-winger-ryan-fraser-europa-league-final-9668058/

hopefully he helps to get Havertz over the line and then works on Ginter and helps sell some of our dregs to the Bundelsliga (I am probably asking too much there, lol)

Palace wanted £80m for Zaha, lolol what is up with that £80m figure? Zaha Frankenstein Maguire Chilwell Rice smdh
-
yep, 2 draws so a true rubber match IF they meet

he for me is a hybrid CMF/DMF and yes, I know Camavinga has only played in Ligue 1 as well, but I do not rate Guimarães at his level I would not be upset if we bought him, but he is (again like Camavinga) not exactly a trad DMF I would rather him than Ndidi I think, deffo over Dendoncker, deffo over Soumaré (who has poor defensive stats) so yes, he can go on the list, but not over Rice he was listed as a CMF, on the list, which is why I forgot him

even taking it up to currently under 25 years of age TAA was the best player I have no complaint with thsi at all I do think that to qualfy you cannot have turned 23yo or older during the season 22yo is a bright line cutoff in fact I would have no issue if you made it such that you cannot have turned 22yo during the season so only players 21yo or younger during the whole time but that would be a bit harsh on a player who hit 22 only during the last 3 or 5 games 23yo is my dead last year I will call an outfield player a very young player (GK, sure that is very young, even at 25ish) if you are not up and running by 24/25, then the odds are VERY high you are not going to become a great player sure there are exceptions, but they are so rare (less than 10%, probably less than 5% of player who were meh until after they hit 25, other than, as stated, GKers) unfortunately those rare exceptions cloud people's vision, so they hold onto hope that a 28yo is going to explode out of the blue, association football is not yank footie with QB's or baseball with pitchers, who often DO explode out of the blue near or older than 30 years of age

was including Pulisic and Kovacic in the 'good lately' column

Last year, following Ajax's run to the Champions League semi-finals, Neuer declared his love for the Cameroonian international, lavishing him with praise via a video message. Neuer said: “I’m your biggest fan, of course, you played a very good season for Ajax. “You and your guys deserved to be in the finals [of the Champions League] so don’t be too sad maybe you will get any chance in the future to come back to the semi-final final and have a better result than the last one. “Take care and enjoy the celebration with Ajax for the Cup and for the championship in your league.

Luke Thomas looks like a Chilwell clone, almost exact same size

West London born and raised South Kensington I hate most English teams I do not hate QPR, Brentford, Fulham I am extraordinarily London-centric would never live anywhere in England except for the London area, although I do like Bristol to a point I would die a slow death if I had to go live in the Midlands or Yorkshire or Merseyside or Tyneside, etc etc

Rice I do rate, he is quite technical, especially for a DMF/CB the only DMF's on the planet I would prefer over him (or one, Camavinga, to pair with him is a superb double pivot with Rice as the back and Camavinga as the roamer, or also Partey there as well) are most of these are impossible to buy as well (only Thomas and Camavinga are actually available to us) Joshua Kimmich Rodri Casemiro Fabinho Sandro Tonali (I would do a back-flip if we got him but zero chance he leaves Italy atm) then the ones who need further explanations Thomas (I rate Rice over him as the sole DMF over the long haul (he turns 28yo in June, so is not a player that we will get much resale value out of if he is given 2 years and doesnt work out well), but they would be a monster double pivot I think) Eduardo Camavinga (and he is still SO young, only 17yo, so deffo cannot be the sole DMF option, he needs to paired with a bone crunching deep DMF like Rice or Denis Zakaria) <<<< by far the highest upside on any DMF who is actually available then the ones who I rate but not over Rice Denis Zakaria (although he and Rice as a pair would be too similar for me, so he would be a great option if we shifted Rice to CB) I am off the boil on Wilfred Ndidi, the more I have closely watched him, the more holes I see in his game, but that said he would be an improvement over what we have (we have no true traditional DMF¨'s on the team) Leander Dendoncker I do rate as a trad DMF, but deffo prefer Rice, Ruben Neves is also here as well (and on the same team, but he is very undisciplined far too often atm) and finally the hugely talented but complete dice roll that is Boubakary Soumaré

lol at lack of spending the only teams on the planet that would be more ridiculous coming from is Barca, Real, and Shitty (PSG's only truly massive spends were Mbappe and Neymar, granted that was £360m or so for two players, so I suppose toss them in too) this doesn't include the add-ons for Mbappe, that could take it to £162m
-
£400m plus and counting net loss on shit buys, horrid contractual management, botched buys, turned downed sales, etc since summer 2017 (some of that is on the board) says otherwise

if his ears were pointed, he would be a Vulcan

-
Frankenstein has the sadz
-
September 1st is my deadline if no deal by then, Havertz likely not coming
-
and she was quite shit at it in far too many cases she has done better lately much better, so lets hope this continues
-
I can agree with this
-
AWB is a prime example he is so so poor skill wise, he literally is completely one dimensional, and when he came up against a true quality LB, even his defence was a tad suspect he is a black hole offensively, far worse than Azpi is on the right
-
it did come down to the MF and other than Pogba, they bossed them Pogba has a great game, but the rest of them, not at all Fernandes has introduced even more diving culture into a team already swimming in it
-
hopefully Inter win tomorrow then you have a crackin' final

all of BT is delusional saying how magnificent Manure was against Copenhagen (WTF!!) and how much of a shock this was
