It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

PSG were certainly touting him around, but not heard we are interested.

I was told a couple months back we had a melt the internet signing in the works but assumed the info was late coming to me and it just concerned Pogba or Felix (Felix was denied by City)

Neymar does not fit our standard MO on most levels, so unless the guy has literally picked up the phone and begged Pep, offered to take a huge salary cut, it would surely be a non-starter.

I also think the Brazilian press (some of the best there are) would have wind of any such deal right now.

Cucurella, a new centre-back and maybe one out of the blue, and we are done.

Sometimes information is leaked and reaches people over different time periods, without said info not being incorrect at the time.

I think Zin and Ake will be the last of the outgoings, Delap out on loan, with Palmer and McAtee getting more opportunities from the bench.

Yes, at the very least can people stop being stupid when comparing players?

Stop using total minutes when one player played 3x the league minutes, do people not realize how misleading this is?

I've already mentioned this in the Zinchenko performance thread, he is an ABSOLUTE JUGGERNAUT in our attack as a leftback. Basically Trent level, but where Trent is more direct and it's translates directly into assists, Zinchenko plays left back as if he's David Silva and is very influential in the pre assist.

Everyone should go to fbref and look at GCA/90 for our club (I posted this in zinny thread) and you'll have way more appreciation and realization for what he does hopefully.

I still want Cucurella as he will play left back in a slightly more defensive manner and is slightly quicker, but he is a worse passer and less intelligent on the ball than Zinchenko (only because Zinny iq on the ball is super high)

Please do not use Trent, its Alexander-Arnold, you a Dipper or something :)
 
Will be pissed off in Zinchenko goes to the arse! Making them better again and arteta is just trying to be pep isn’t he?!
 
Just a thought… the Bem Brasil comment could be due to fact they only have restaurants in Manchester and Liverpool. The scousers think they are nailed on to buy Jude, but we’ve blown the bloody doors off…
 
Last chance to really, seriously prove himself as a great player. Maybe go for a Balon d'Or if that's his thing. We could get a Champions League out of it. We'd still more than likely walk the league. Lots of upside.

Potential risk is that he isn't motivated, plays when he wants, goes to Brazil when he wants and we can't shift him next summer because he's on insane wages.

I'd like to think he's still got the hunger to prove himself. A few years of him actually applying himself under Pep, a good World Cup run and he could end up going down as one of the greats, like most of us thought he would. Up until now, he's just sort of peaked early and pretty much wasted away.

Hypothetically, of course, because the chances of this happening are still pretty slim.

Either way it is interesting how people have read 3 posts. Some will swear it is about Neymar, some about Bellingham, others Felix Leao etc.

I'm going to go with dude's excited and had a few drinks, really fancied some meat at Bem Brasil and was asking the forum for directions (and no **** helped him), while listening to a song and trying to get a group sing-along going (again no **** joined in).

I was just going to ask what Bem Brasil was all about if it's Bellingham. Makes as much sense as anything else I guess.

5 years almost rotting in Paris is a long time, however talented, it's going to take enormous commitment levels to even have a chance at getting back to his once great level.

A big NO from me, we have had a wonderful summer so far with more to come but this would put a huge downer on that.

He was told Fazenda is better and I’m sure he’s got Google on his phone.
