Magic Lamps

yeah will score 0 goals with our sexy football. as soon as teams park the bus we are clueless, so the only thing we should avoid at all costs is conceding, which of course we got out of our way to do.

jorginho must be the worst shooter in the world from distance. always slices them with neither power nor precision.

have you seen him sprint down the flank right now? HIs pace is surely not the problem.

I said Sarri was shit when he still was at Napoli even though I had only watched the big games. But obviously that is enough, as Sarri teams obviously get battered defensively whenever an opponent ventures to attack them.

great defending Alonso.

what a save before from Kepa. chances galore for Arsenal, just like in the game at the bridge We are not good defensively, we are just not used to being attacked

here he goes again. take off jorginho already.

he's had a week rest and he hardly covers ground in matches

why have we suddenly turned to shit?

Jorginho has regressed so much. misplaces his first 4 passes incredible.

Surprise, surprise, no wonder we are so predictable. What i hate most is how we have lost that counter-attacking thraet. First season under Conte we were probably the best counter-attacking team in the world, had some attacks that were less than 5secs between winning the ball in our own half and scoring. Wish that back so much.

A legend for me. Maybe not because he was so good but you can surely not blame him for leaving anything on the pitch. He was actually a graet defender in his first years here. I remember in the season we won CL he once ran behind Messi, missed the tackles, stood up, followed Messi to our box and then tackled him succesfully so he had real pace back then, shame it went with age. Also in the 2016/17 season he was absolutely instrumental to the title, scoring an immense late winner away at stoke and a 2-0 away at Everton, both with his foot. In general rather prolific with his feet for a defender (remember his volley goal at Tottenham 2012) but ofc at his best an absolute force aerially, Air Cahill. I always liked him mainly because he is big and English but he also has been a great character to have at the club, really humble, genuine guy. Needed just 3,5 years to win every title possible, having not won a single title before. And deservedly so. He put in a series of world-class performances in RDM's deep backline in our CL win, a trophy saving last ditch-tackle in the EL final and a MOTM performane in last years FA-Cup final. That is what I will remember him for. Thanks for everything and good luck, big man!

That's maybe the dumbest goalkeeper error I have ever seen. He tips it over himself on towards goal. Completely undangerous. A good goalie caches that and a bad ones just lets it pass and it goes out for a goalkick. NO idea what he even was trying to do, tipping it behind himself is never a good idea

I read that we did not even get a fee for him? is that correct? horrible business if true. Could have been useful. What I regret a bit is that we almost never used a Kante-Jorginho-Fabregas midfield from beginning. I loved how Fabregas and Jorginho controleld those pre-season games effortlessly and providing dangerous passes too. Add N'golo's legs and that is almost a complete midfield. Especially in all those games where we dominated the shit but could not score, Cesc always came on too late to make an imapct. I never was a big fan of Cesc. I hated his cocky attitude when he was a young captain at Arsenal who never showed up in the big matches but still had a big mouth. He never really became what everyone including himself expected him to become. I remember in 2009 he said in an interview, his idol was Lamps (even though they hated each other) and some day he would be better. Well he finished a landslide short of that, as he peaked. He was 22 at that time and had already peaked. Now he is 31 and as good as finsihed. Lampard scored 27 for Chelsea and 8 for England the season he was 31.. And even more grave is that Cheslea released Lamps to accomodate Cesc's arrival, which I only read the first time a few mins ago. But I guess Cesc was instrumental to our 2014/15 league title and i will not forget that.

Thats more like it. Milk em.for a few more millions and with the loan fees we will make a profit on him.

He would not have started over Sarris beloved Jorginho anyway. But 40m for a backup is perfectly fine these days

Humiliating Bayern after they whored themselves in public to get him is worth the 70k pw alone😋

If Marina would have paid up directly PSG would never have come into the picture. Surely They will fulfill the asking price.

That's true. But I don't think he wants to be handed a starting spot, just to get a look in and start EPL games from time to time. But I guess he would take it easier if a genuine quality winger would play over him not Willian. On the other hand leaving for BAyern would be just as short-sighted. Gnabry and Coman will surely be ahead of him in the pecking order and I am dead cert Bayern will buy a genuine world class winger in summer too. With Eden leaving his competition here will be Pedro/Willian and Pulisic, all three hardly world beaters. But it looks like the tide has turned anyway. Most papers such as bild and mirror who were convinced he would leave are now reporting he is considering a u-turn with the money we have offered him. Still a very good possibility that he used Bayern to improve his negotiation position, which would not surprise me with the kids these days.

yup. 40m and 2m salary per year is a bargain. no idea why genoa are giving him away this cheap. maybe they already know he is a one-season wonder and only scores in clusters vs shit teams like sassulo and lecce

I thought Milan would be unable to sign piatek due to FFP @Antonio8

Why would we even consider selling him for a loss? He has ages left on his contract and is a decent back up. Does not make any sense unless a sizeable bid comes in.

Haha the thing is he predicts us to win at Arsenal so lets hope hes right at this.

Amd the Adl would have asked for another 5. Kk was never attainable or he would have left already.

Surely a cash cow in an Atsu type deal , not for the first team
