You may think that but does Pep & Txiki ?

Course they fucking don’t mate because they’re not idiots.

I sense today’s the day.

The day that Naylor comes out with another angry piece on how City “tap up” players? ;)

He's a brilliant signing for Arsenal, which tells you where we are in the pecking order of world football right now. We were willing to let him go because we are confident that we will succeed without him. People talk about this transfer in a lback and white point of view, talking about him as a left back, and getting embroiled in arguments left and right his ability as full back.
Zinchenko is an accomplished midfielder who has played a role for us, successfully for the most part and won over the fans because, What's not to like about the lad.
He was never going to get in our midfield though and he was never going to cement his place as LB.
This transfer made sense on every level.

Yep, and Arsenal fans might not like it but we've just sold them their 2 best players in Oleks & Gabs. You can see why Klopp is concerned.

I'm with @Dax777 . Tell Brighton, "Thank you very much. We'll be signing Mr. Grimaldo for £7 million. "

Either they blink and want to do a deal more favourable to us or we get a cracking player for 1/6 the cost.

I remember United signing a cut price LB from portugal a couple of years ago (Telles). A lot of our fans wanted us to get involved then too. Hes been shit and is now 3rd choice on a long contract and they cant get rid of him.

A one off example, but Id rather we signed no one than a cheap alternative we likely had no where on our priority list.

Signing these types is how you end up bulking your squad out with players that arent quite good enough and that you cant shift.

Isco?
It's been a long nine year wait.
Wasted that whole summer on bluemoon.

Vladimir: “Shall we go?”
Estragon: “Yes, let's go.”
Stage direction: they do not move.

Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett.

These summer transfer sagas make me think of that little exchange.

This would be a great plan if it weren't for the fact that Grimaldo is crap.

Personally I'd rather strengthen the team than weaken it.

There are vandals on here who want him to get a short back and sides. Vandals, I say.

I would suggest it's pebble and not shingle.

Shingle is smaller/looser.

Whichever, it's an uncomfortable, dirty beach. And the sea is freezing.
