I’m not arsed about it either tbh. Use lokonga and just move on. Nothing changed yesterday when he came on with our play

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I do see why Brighton fans feel frustrated losing their best players on a regular basis.

But at the end of the day they are pinching players from clubs lower down the food chain too. We're only doing to them what they do to Independiente del Valle.

Lokonga is not premier league standard

@Aevi What happened to the tag?

 

[Gn1212]

The usual suspects have yet to report the bid huh? Mail making **** up. 🤣

He is PL standard. 7 weeks ago we were saying nketiah is not PL standard.

Man, just no. Are you full on trolling these days?

Yeah, very good point. I was thinking about how top clubs used to do this to Arsenal. Hope those days will be gone soon.

Looks like Arteta has taken hint from Klopp buying Southampton etc. players from the league.

Trossard-Jesus-Saka
Xhaka-Ødegaard
Caicedo
Zinchenko-Gabriel-Saliba-White
Ramsdale

That would be 3 players from Brighton, 2 from City. Ramsdale of course EPL proven too. Half of the outfield players would be snatched from two EPL teams. This is just some lineup where I fitted all of these.

Nketieh is limited but does everything he can to get into goal scoring positions and to press and help the team. Lakonga is also limited but his inflated ego means he thinks he should be a luxury player who doesn't need to win the ball back. Lakonga could be a good player with the right mentality but his attitude stinks. I'd guess his IQ is also pretty low. His big chance is here and he doesn't seize it with both hands.

 

[DanDare]

Who's this geezer

Was on arsecast other day. One of the arsenal leaning journalists. From local to Arsenal too. Don't think he's any more reliable than someone like gunnerblog though

Someone undid my changes I guess, not my doing.

 

[farzad4daarse]

Apparently they bought him for £4.5m

I'm not sure why people think how much profit you can make has much influence on how much you willing to sell for. It usually comes down to how much you think the player is worth and how much you think someone is willing to pay for it.

If someone offered £80m for Saka I don't think we would for a second take into consideration that he cost us nothing and we would be making £80m profit.

Likewise when we trying to recoup some money from Pepe, the £72m we paid for him will be irrelevant.

Difference is we can pay Saka like a footballer and not like a decent plumber. Their whole model and selling point to these kids to sign with them and cheap is that they can be a platform to move on to United or Arsenal. In fact, it would be dishonest to not sell and still expect to pay total crap wages. We have begged Saka to up his wages multiple times. Stop crying for these extortionists they will make 200 million pounds from selling 3 players their whole team doesn’t cost a fraction of that. They sell themselves as an academy and selling club to these kids to get better talent cheap. So F off to Brighton if they crying over 200 million

We really need a new central midfielder in the winter. I really hope Edu won't be in a panic looking for someone to sign 2 hours before the transfer window closes.

I think this is fair. There are many midfielders in the league he is more talented. But you gotta impression he doesn’t get the chance he has and not putting his heart out there. If he had Coquelin mentality he would be good

 

[TH14shahriar]

Silence since the bid yesterday, wonder what Edu is up to.

They'll either be talking to Brighton and figuring out if there's any way it can happen or they're looking elsewhere.
