Cancelo even at the time was a completely unnecessary signing. What was wrong with danilo as a substitute right back exactly? What does cancelo offer more that we spent 30m more to upgrade?

Danilo wanted out but, given Walker's robust constitution and injury resistance, I think we could have sold him and used Frimpong as cover - he has impressed at Celtic and attacks well.

I often wonder if it's just forgetfulness or do some people willfully act ignorant about transfers. Danilo wanted out and so we were forced to sell.

Stones, english, shown willingness and ability to play football from the back and many thought Pep would take him to the next level. I think 50m was probably about what you would have to spend to get someone like him.

Rodri, how is piss poor scouting? Do you genuinely believe that the scouts, Txiki and Pep sat there and thought fuck me this lad is fast and are now scratching their heads because hes not. They knew full well what they were buying, it may well not have worked out but its not the lads fault, hes been thrown into impossible situations.

I’m not saying it’s Rodri’s fault he’s a very decent footballer with very little mobility. It’s not worked because he is not and will not ever be able to cover the large spaces that we leave open. If we aren’t blaming Pep or the scouts for it who is to blame for a player who isn’t fitting into our system? It’s like continuously buying centre backs who lack pace. Fine if you’re a team who tend to drop off but in our system they’ll keep getting exposed.
 
Not quite sure I understand why he would move to Arsenal if he was so good.

I haven’t seen him play apart from against us so don’t know whether he is any good or not but if he was as good as some appear to believe then surely other clubs would be in the running.

Could be the amount that Lyon want - Arsenal were miles away in their offer ( £32m ) as reported in media.

It's not just about his lack of mobility though, positionally he's piss poor too.

It does come back to recruitment clearly, we seem to expect Pep to do miracles with players who just don't have the attributes he needs for key positions.

Exactly as one of the few teams who pay the majority of a fee up front, this should be a tremendous window. This is the first signing that puts us in player credit, rather simply covering the players recently lost. Just go to see if Juve will swap Rabiot for Rodders.

What's wrong with Arsenal? Last I checked, they beat us. And are currently above us in the league.

So again I ask: What's wrong with Arsenal?











Nah, just joking. Fucking softies, all of them.
 
Reports today that Aouar is determined to leave Lyon, but is resigned litle by little to join arsenal, as he was wanting a move to City or Juve....

Obviously take any news from the media with a pinch of salt but that is not a statement any arsenal fan would want to hear

Funny though

Depends on the agenda... Hendo hoofing it as far up the pitch as he can for the Asthma sufferers to chase - are sublime passes in sections of the media.
 
Hate the fact thatArsenal will get this guy . He is top draw and would be a massive player for us . Gundo gors when pep goes though

The club must have other targets in mind as, normally, Pep would rather sign a technical midfielder than eat his dinner.
