Riccardo Calafiori is close to Arsenal for £42.3 million

(@DiMarzio)

FUCK

gutted if we lose him

J David and Cala are my two obessions this summer

we could have BOTH for around what we paid for just CuCu

do not get me started on Fofana, Mudryk, Rom, Caicedo, Enzo, Sterling (wages included) , Lavia, and DisASSi

£42m for him is a fucking STEAL

we paid a combined £140m for CuCu and permawrecked Fofana ffs!!!!!!!

 

PL to PL transfer are always gonna have a massive premium. Not really fair to compare those deals to Calafiori coming from a relatively tiny Italian club who for them £42m is a gigantic sum they can really turn down.

[Mário César 907]

well, calafiori choose arsenal, as we expected

2 years in a row without ucl it is too much sadly

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.

he is not just any CB

if he goes to Arse I predict he haunts us for year

he is cut, IMHO, from the legendary Italian CB rock, and thsoe types almost NEVER leave Italy

plus he will be a marketing star, massive commercial revenue generator

look at the lad

He would bring clean sheets to the club but mine would be dirty.

Neil Bath has decided to leave Chelsea. He is leaving of his own accord and amicably.(@Matt_Law_DT)

Ah, that's a bit better. It doesn't rule out the possibility that he is leaving because he does not like the direction of travel, but at least he wasn't pushed. To go from talking him up, and effectively promoting him, to kicking him out would not bode well for our management. It's still significant however that Frasier is also leaving. The chances of this being coincidence is obviously slim.

Apparently they have not been happy with Fraser and Bath in recent years who have played big roles in recognising talent for the youth teams.

These included:

-Mason Burstow

-Dylan Williams

-Eddie Beach

-Zak Sturge

-Jimmy-Jay Morgan

-Omari Hutchinson (was a hit)

-Alex Matos

-Ishe Samuels- Smith

-Diego Moreira

come on m8

we have overspent by hundreds of millions combined on players since 2017, when the nightmare windows started, many of them not from other EPL teams (do you want me to make a Vesper List© ???, lolol)

the most common premium for EPL players has historically been the 'English Tax' for HG

Leny #Yoro is one step away to #RealMadrid. The young centre-back has chosen Madrid as his new club. Talks in progress to finalize the deal with #Lille. For the centre-back ready a contract until 2030.

😒😒

so so many of my targets blowing away in the wind like dandelions

next will probaly be Mamardashvili and Diogo Costa and maybe even (a bit cooler now due to age) Oblak

whilst we suffer with Donkey Sanchez probably costing us 9 to 12 or so points in the EPL throughout the 38 games with a veritable cornucopia of blunders and howlers plus overall quotidian meh meh play

so viele meiner Ziele werden wie Löwenzahn vom Wind verweht

als nächstes kommen wahrscheinlich Mamardashvili und Diogo Costa und vielleicht sogar (jetzt etwas cooler aufgrund des Alters) Oblak

während wir unter Donkey Sanchez leiden, der uns in den 38 Spielen in der EPL wahrscheinlich 9 bis 12 Punkte gekostet hat, mit einer wahren Fülle von Patzern und Patzern sowie einem insgesamt alltäglichen mittelmäßigen Spiel

R.Sanchez is a pure Shit Player Thanks Ben Roberts for this Transfer🤢🤢

Another proven and fully working part of the club that is going to be ripped apart by these fucking morons.

Amicable or not, I believe that Bath & Fraser leaving will definitely be partly due to the likes of academy players being auctioned off/sold on for pure profit as a loop hole to do with PSR & FFP. 

Imagine building an academy capable of producing players that you know will be sold on to produce huge profits and continually be overlooked to sign young foreign players… probably who the club think they can gain more money from by marketing.

All of these are arguable cases I grant you but; Abraham, Ake, Guehi, Livramento, Mount, Musiala, Rice, and Tomori are a few who could be discussed. All of these qualify as solid squad players at the least. That's not a bad record when you consider the level at which we were competing, and competing against sides which are basically drawn from the entire globe. Remember there are geographic restrictions concerning which players can be recruited by club academies. No club, not even the supergiants, will produce a world class first XI featuring a majority of homegrown players except in very rare circumstances.

Bulka, Maatsen, Colwill, James, Chalobah, Gallagher, Solanke, Broja, Olise, Christensen, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi. The list goes on. As @OhForAGreavsie has mentioned, you can question each on an individual basis as to what level they are exactly, but every one of these have had a significant period of their youth career at Cobham and have developed into international players/playing at the top level, and many of these are in a similar age bracket.

The geographic restrictions argument is even more impressive when you consider London is almost certainly the most competitive area to recruit from in Europe considering the number of clubs in such a small area.

We may not see immediately just how big an influence Jim Fraser and Neil Bath have been, in a similar way to we didn't immediately see the fruits of their work in Roman's early years. But an academy structure is years in the making and if we don't adequately replace them, it will be catastrophic considering what has been inherited by the ownership.

[Thor 2,254]

We about to hijack this Cala deal.
