Emery wanted to play his a holding player but Rabiot wanted to continue as a box-to-box player who could get forward. Not sure if it's the best.

We need defenders, not Rabiot. (Did we ever not need defenders? Seriously can’t remember the last time)

All but done, Maxwell has been pictured with Frenkie’s agent. That only happens if the clubs are close to a deal. I wanted him to go to the PL, now I’m only going to see him in the UCL/internationals.
Fun fact: Ajax got him for the token price of €1 when he was 16, and loaned some players from the second team to Willem II. 75M for him now, what a deal.

Dembele was late to training again. This time he arrived 2 hours late. All teammates were already done with training, Valverde ignored him, so he trained by himself with fitness coach.
Is he trying to force Barca's hand? Or his work ethic is below par ?

He can go to Man Utd and join the team with Pogba, Lukaku, Sanchez, ... Would fit perfectly: getting big money for doing nothing.
I don't know about that. The club should replace Elneny with someone more capeable, but Ramsey is so specific in his profile that I don't think he's outright replaceable if used the right way at Arsenal. I really don't want another guy who can do it all good but excels at basically nothing in Rabiot.
I'd much rather keep Ramsey, bin Elneny, get a proper ballwinner backup for Torreira and nudge Guendouzi more towards Xhaka's style over next season, than bin Ramsey and get whiny Rabiot and his agent mum and have the next 3rd guy in midfield be of the roughly same mold as Xhaka and Matteo. Or get someone who can do Ramsey's pressing and versatility but is happy to ride the bench.
probably both cause the guy's a lazy cvnt. Believes he's owed something for his talent and thinks he's made it on the back of 1 season at Rennes, 1 season at Dortmund and a ridiculously overpriced transfer to Barca who were absolutely idiotic to buy him when they did. If he continues behaving like this he'll be handed to midtable teams or relegation fodder at 25. The ex super talent who didn't have the guts to make it count and work hard at a top club, and plods his time away at West Ham or Newcastle or something.

The guy has a contract until 2026....I think he's Atletico through and through. Also these Simeone lads seldomly seem to leave that club/their manager. Griezmann, Koke, Godin, Oblak - they all could have left multiple times in recent years for "bigger" clubs but they didn't. The only really integral players they lost were Turan, Costa and Filipe Luis, and the latter two have returned by now. Think the chances are very, very slim City get Saul.

Feel he’s likely to stay now, people don’t realise how close to signing him we actually were a few years ago.
Lucas Hernandez to Bayern Munich for 80M euros.

Looks like Hummels want to leave Bayern in winter.

Damn if Henry is just going sign his friends I may have to start following them
We should be all over that, being ex-Dortmund n all. Hummels-Sokratis might not be perfect, but I'd take it over the shambles we've got right now.
Hummels is done. I'd keep my hands off him.

What's been the cause of his decline?

Do not like him as a person either. Very overrated aswell.
He's had a lot of fitness and health issues over the last season - not big stuff but a lot of minor stuff. Tranfermarkt lists 10 short term injuries for 17/18. He's never really been able to get into form last season. Has lost a good portion of pace, although he's a generally good passer, he never was as great as say Boateng in that regard.
Overall he just seems very, very off and saturated. Seems more occupied with off field stuff with an eye already on life past football. Heavily influenced in his decision making by his obsessed with becoming a celebrity wife. Loves to see himself as a straight laced, honest guy, but at the same time he's shown a nasty streak in that, laying blame for bad performances on teammates, the media or whoever is available.
He's athletically declined, longtime out of form, saturated mentally and seemingly not completely focused on football.
