We will get him, I still believe.

Think Arsenal may have a bargaining chip with Kiwior.

Not seen anything official with him being discussed in a deal but he is a player who is a left footed CB who also plays left back…

Would be surprised if they don’t try using him as a makeweight or offer them to Bologna in a separate deal to replace Calafiori, particularly given he’s played in Italy before at Spezia.

We can’t even afford £42m without trying to throw in players these days? 

Whatever. Let Arse have him. Go for an actual specialist LB instead rather than a CB who can also play LB.

[TheHulk 1,825]

We can't lose Calafiori to Arsenal, can you imagine going through hell and earth to get that complete clown Mudryk over them only to lose out for an actual quality player.

My thoughts as well, these clowns backed themselves in a corner burning all available money and now all they have left is offering player exchanges no one gives a fuck.

If we’re both offering the same money and they’re actually speaking to the player first then I’m not sure we can win.

It’s not like the Roman days where we can blow any competition out of the water with higher wages. Arse probably offer higher wages than us now. Add UCL football, the prospect of winning the PL, and them being much more stable than us and it’s kind of a no brainer to choose them over us at the moment.

our only hope is the italian manager.

I don’t think the added player as to get him on the cheap. Calafiori has a 50% sell on fee from his previous club. The player is just to sweeten the deal so Bologna has both cash and a replacement

Never heard of him. 😅

Fluminense above is the "geriatric" team of the Brazilian league; Marcelo former Real Madrid, now carrying a fat belly, is the left-back. Fluminense is dead last in the standings for that reason.

Previous "the next Mbappe" we bought has just lost his place in the shity Ukranian national team. This comparisions hardly ever come up good.

I've been supportive of their decisions after the initial stumbles, which anyone can be guilty of presented with a shiny new toy but this is a genuine shock, very interested to see the reasons why. Cue the "they sell all our players" but in reality we lose a ton to lower leagues, no contracts renewals etc. so I'm interested in a bit of a deeper reasoning then that.

I'm stunned by this. I posted a comment sometime in the last 24 hours in which I said that I wondered what Neil Bath thought of how Cobham youngsters were being managed by the club. I suppose this gives us a clue. 

The one thing I can say for the owners on this is that it shows a great deal of self confidence and a splash of ruthlessness. Not so long ago they were talking about Bath in a way which lead me to believe they agreed with my assessment that he was the club's most valuable employee.

BlueCo keep rolling the dice. If they come up good all will be forgiven. If they don't all the owners have to lose are a few billions. We, on the other hand, have our hearts on the line.

From a practical point of view I imagine they will have paid up Neil Bath's contract and placed him on gardening leave.

I don't like to fall into conspiracy theories, like them wanting to get rid of anything and everything they inherited under Roman but it makes it that much harder to scoff at this when people like Neil Bath and Jim Fraser are leaving the club.

I've been of the belief for years that the academy should be providing the squad depth for the first team, so we can concentrate on just buying players solely to focus on improving the starting XI, at most first 15-16 players in the squad. It's pretty clear that this ownership do not share the same views. 

For everything good that Roman did for this club, it gets more and more worrying that the biggest mistake he may have ever made here was locking this ownership into the club for at least 10 years.
