Why so serieuse?
He got sent off last week. Don't want.
Crap excuse!He got sent off last week. Don't want.
Let's just sit back for a moment and play the hypothetical game that all of that would be true and it would not affect the partey deal, which in turn is assumed to happen..
I think we can agree on those two deals being way more than what we would espect and it would address our key problems pretty well, so it would be really harsh to criticize the board for that.
Yet, wouldn't it make more sense to go for someone pretty much as promising as him like Gabriel and still have like 30m for a good RB ?
Think too many high profile targets are risky considering how much the success of those deals will determine as to what we will be able to do in the future.
Would much rather go for slightly less high profile targets and you'd be able to fix more issues.
It just depends on what difference there is between Upamecano and Gabriel. I dont know either well enough to judge.
It's all about what you can do. Is Thomas/Upamecano/Bellerin better than say Thomas/Gabriel/Aarons?
I would rather 2 top players than 3 half decent ones and I think it the past it's been something that has been a problem. Signing 3 middle of the road players instead of 1 or 2 top players.
To be honest I would want a centre half from the PL to partner Saliba. Imagine having 2 new young CB in the league, Tierney who is still basically new to the league albeit not really country. Bellerin coming back from injury.

. Wasn't entirely seriousCrap excuse!
Gabriel Maghales and Pau Torres actually look better than Upamecano. Guy gives me Mustafi like vibe. Those two seem calm, composed and skilled on the ball. Upa seems like he is barging in all the time and error prone.Let's just sit back for a moment and play the hypothetical game that all of that would be true and it would not affect the partey deal, which in turn is assumed to happen..

Koscielny at his peak was pretty rapid, you rarely saw him beaten for paceHe dominated Sp**s in the Champions League, even if he does look a bit rash.
We need centre backs who can at least cope physically in this league, that's why I was so happy to get Saliba...literally zero of our current centre backs have recovery pace, it really limits the way we play, if someone gets he behind us we are ****ed really.
I don't think we will get Dayot, but hopefully these are the player profiles we are targeting, fast players...haven't had a fast centre back since peak Kos.
I really don't understand the hype surrounding this guy, he looks very very rash and prone to injuries. Gabriel is the one to go for imo, has all of the tools a modern CB needs: tall, fast and can play. He is left footed as well which is a massive bonus. A Saliba-Gabriel partnership is potentially a title winning combination.
Nonces like @GoonerGurjit are so desperate to be the first ones to post a story they didn't even check.
