Philippe Coutinho

[El Duderino]

Makes sense, it also adds value to this deal, seeing that in the near future we can move Mkhi and other to China (who won't baulk at the wages we gave our deadwood) and later on even get Aubameyang there once his contract - hopefully after an extention - is nearing it's end.

 

[El Duderino]

Plus, Eddie going on loan, must mean we'll rotate Laca/Auba heavily.

If that happen then Emery probably will have to sit one of Laca and Auba on the bench.

All fit in our best 11 imo.

You don't get to loan a player like Coutinho for nothing. If we are haggling with Celtic over Tierney, and still need first choice centre back, this deal has to be nothing but a nice idea.

Think I hate football and just love transfers?

Don't think so. Either way with this signing we'll have 8-9 quality options for our front 6 positions, should make it easy to rotate given we'll likely play 60 games next season.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Torreira Ceballos
Pepe Özil Coutinho
Auba

i must say this is sexy.

 

[Hunta]

Did I miss us win the CL last season?

 

[Anders Harbo]

If you go with them, it won't be so bad.

You know, i get accused of pessimism but at least i'm not obnoxious enough to suck the life out of people before some big news could be about to happen.

I’m not trying to be obnoxius. I just hate loan deals.

 

[L3T5 PL4Y]

Our 350k man to magically disappear.

For sure Don Raul will find a solution if this goes through.

Interesting......

Can Kia shift Mustafi and Xhaka to China for us?

He would deserve a lifetime season ticket if he could.

 

[Highbury_2006]

If we are supposed to play 4-2-3-1 our only real number 10 will be Özil and he certainly need competition.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Raul man.

 

[OnlyOne]

Apparently another team are a head of us in the race according to English press, think I'll go with the French dude saying he's ours!

Barca are trying to make space for Neymar.

 

[Underhill]

It is always entertaining to let the magic of silly season take you on a ride, but this just does not make any sense at all unless we are shifting Laca at last minute.

They say faith can move mountains. Whoever coined this phrase has obviously never tried selling Mustafi.

Most likely Sp**s as they’re looking to sell Eriksen.

That’s only some bellend from The Sun.
