£30m for 32 year old it's not goin to happen 

Point is that we don't NEED to sell him unless it's an exorbitant fee. We can bloody well malouda him for a season or maybe even 2. Fuck Luiz. Never liked him. Ever. 

For the fee being quoted (8mil), there is no point to sell him to a direct rival. We might as well just let him rot.

Pepe, Tierney, Luiz, and Ceballos. Must be said, that's a very decent summer for the North London bastards. The 4 weak areas (CM, RW, LB, and CB)  that ArseFanTV and the like have been bitching and moaning about for ages will have all been addressed in a single window.

Very, very strong contenders for that 3rd spot. 

Still interested to see what United and Spuds can pull of tomorrow. Jealous of all the activity from our rivals. 😩

For a team to with such limited funds.. Or reported to have limited funds anyway.. Not bad summer for them at all.

I think that 'limited funds' was bullshit

my yank mate from Texas (the same one who gave me the utterly glorious 'as useful as tits on a bull', lololol) calls it

'po-mouthing' 

she said USA football college coaches do it all the time (the 'woe-is-me, poor little us' rope a dope) when they know they are holding aces up the sleeve

Probably and who would announce it to the media anyway... Just seemed a story to run with cause creates a talking point among fans and headlines.

I wouldn't say CB has been adressed for them. As much as i thought the Luiz critics often overplayed his flaws, he still has never boosted a weak defense himself (case in point the 2014 world cup with no Thiago Silva out there).

the only team I trust to actually tip their hand is Bayern, those fucking German cunts cannot help but talk out of class

I honestly (see my earlier post) do NOT think they are done trying at all with CB's

especially as we are almost giving bobblehead away (£8m is madness)

Then that would be a gamechanger but if they stop at just Luiz i can't see that improving them much atall.

If I were them, I would be non-stop on the phone with Borussia Mönchengladbach making a play for either Matthias Ginter or (my preferred of the two) Nico Elvedi

both are EPL ready, especially Ginter, although Elvedi has more upside

I would say the same for Everton

also for both teams

toss in a pair from PSG (as PSG now have four starting level CB's) Thilo Kehrer (perfect for Arse AND he can play RB as well, with Bellerin out still and likely fucked up for for a further 6 months to a year from being fully recovered)) or Presnel Kimpembe (more for Everton)

 

also

toss in a real wild card

Malang Sarr from Nice

I have never watched Tierney play. Is he actually any good or are people freaking out because Arsenal are signing a defender? 

He is actually pretty good (not just Scottish bias either).

If he played in PL he would of gone for same money as Wan Bissaka if not more. Could argue hes further along as he is more experienced, having competed in the CL, Europa League as well as having been captain of his club and country as well. His final ball is better as well.

If he gets his fitness back up, which I doubt will be the biggest issue I dont think his injuries are as bad as made out and think it was also scare tactics to drive Arsenal away, he has got a huge chance of having a successful career in the PL. Hes already at a better level than Andy Robertson was when he signed for Hull, although Andys development at Liverpool has been quite emphatic. Time will tell but I would think in a few seasons people will look back and go 25m well spent.

Depressing , and boring summer : 

 

City - Rodri ,Cancelo

Tottenham - Ndombele , Dybala (maybe) , Fernandes (maybe) 

Arsenal - Pepe 

Man Utd . - Maguire , James , Savic (maybe) , Bissaka

Everton -  Kean , Zaha (maybe)

Chelsea - Sold Hazard, Sold Luiz , 0 transfers .

 

If Lampard finish in Top 4  GOD 

There are 4 maybes which are as many as the actual buys from United, spurs and everton.

Btw, we added pulisic too. Selling Luiz, a known trouble maker might be the best decision given our young core.

Nice. While I thought Dybala would be a poor fit at United and wasn't really worried about him going there, I think he would've been fantastic at Spuds sitting behind Kane. Poch could turn him into a truly world class player.

They would've had a ridiculous summer had they pulled off that signing.

[Jase 43,479]

 

[Pizy 18,903]

Quite a few conflicting reports about Dybala. Some saying it's off, other that it's still possible.

You watched Celtic games ? How about Kristoffer Ajer ? Is he any good ? Saw some rumours that Roger consider him to be Maguire replacement but Celtic likely asked for 30m+
