I'm hearing he's had a poor/average 2nd half to the season.

So when this bloke retires and has won fuck all to his name I hope fans of the sport do in fact hold that against them. You seal your own fate by doing these contracts and its the very reason why Gerrard rightly deserves to be less thought of in the Prem compared to Lampard, Vieira, etc.

I'm not even entirely convinced Gavi is even better than Gilmour. Gilmour would shine in La Liga given the freedom he'd be allowed.

Hilarious how Rio tries to conceal his massive insecurities. Putting himself as #1 and trying to justify it by saying he could play in any era and in any system as if he knew he'd get backlash (and rightly so) from where he put Terry. Saying Terry played in a low block whilst at the same time failing to answer why Terry had better attacking and overall metrics than him. I don't remember Puyol having any issues in playing a high line and he was as slow as Terry. His ability on the ball made up for it. Fact of the matter is Terry had 11-12 years playing at an elite and consistent level. Rio was lucky to manage 5. This is why Terry is regarded the best in the Prem.

They want Alonso and Azpilicueta. Then Traore, Vidal, Paulinho, before them. Barca have no 'player' anymore.

I don't care. He isn't going to play so having his shitty/sulky attitude poising the dressing room is out of the question.

Arsenal's odds in finishing Top 4 next season are even lower than they were this season.

Imagine keeping Werner and Lukaku but selling Broja.

I'm more worried about his decision making in dangerous areas than his height, which to be honest isn't that much of a concern for me anyway.

Hope Tuchel shows Boehly a compilation of misses from the attack.

Can't cap off the Roman era without an another shit decision from the club.

High hopes for Gallagher to be a success in a two man midfield when his success at Palace came at the ability to have free roam in a midfield 3, whereas in Tuchel's system the 2 central midfielders have to be disciplined. If we don't get a DM this summer then we will yet again continue to look frail in midfield.

Think this photo along with the BBC report that the new ownership should be finalised in the next several hours has justified suspicions.

I say this with the utmost respect to a club legend; Fuck. No.

All summer we wasted our time with Haaland and in fear we would then resort to Lukaku. We also had Monaco basically throwing Tchouameni to us for 40m and we ignored them. Again, I will only be optimistic if Boehly comes in and sacks the entire scouting department. Our transfer strategy since 2017 had no direction, vision, or long term plan. This is the reason we are so far off from Liverpool and City.

Awful. Quite telling when Lyon don't want to activate the buy option.

Right midfielders also.

It's what we should expect from young players. Spells of inconsistency. He's still better suited in our system than Lukaku.

To be perfectly honest the only way I will be optimistic is if Boehly and co sack our entire scouting department day 1. Tchouameni rumored to decide between Liverpool or Real next week whereas we have our dick in our hands because the club thought it would be a better idea to get Lukaku and Saul on loan.

Watch our marquee/statement signing be only Kounde.

Then I fear the premonition I made last august will come true.

If Lukaku is still here think im with @Tomo in saying I’ll just refuse to watch. He’s going to destroy the dressing room with his sulking.

If that’s the case viewership and attendance is going to plummet. No one wants to watch another disaster season of inconsistent performances and getting spanked in Europe again.

I'd rather avoid all Eredivisie players moving forward.

Can't believe you even replied. Like comparing Xavi to Joe Allen.
