I didn't expect we could get this transfer done. I'll be very pleased if we do.
I think they just getting starting with it after they failed with Otavio. It's pretty straightforward thier bid likely getting rejected because club brugge asking 35M€ but Leeds aren't far from the valuation.How advanced is the CDK deal?
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still bash myself into frenzy if we get this done, but I’d feel empty and confused straight after
They very trustworthy in Brazil.
Looks like the same source was also the first to report Jesus's exit talks too if I'm not mistaken ?
I don’t know about dembele. But de Jong will be 100% Man U player. Without his sale Barca is royally fvcked and they are not gonna let a Dutch tossed keep them hostage
If barca got money from de Jong likely it'll go for Kounde and Lewandowski that'll cost them around 100M.
Post nut clarity. It means you prefer Gnabry or a top CM over Raphina.Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still bash myself into frenzy if we get this done, but I’d feel empty and confused straight after
I’ve always thought Raphinha was on PEDs tbh. Presses like crazy for Leeds and rarely if ever gets injured.
When Raphinha and Martinelli play on wings going to be long day for the opponent defense. No wonder mikel big fan he put workrate and movement above everything else when it comes to players.
I remember listening to the Arsenalvision Podcast and Clive saying he believes Saka’s best possible position is at 10. One of my favourite Saka performances was away at Sheffield where Saka really balled out. Maybe we see Saka in midfield more often. The LW doesn’t make as much sense to me. As far as I can remember the LW is the primary goal threat in Arteta’s various systems. I’m not sure that role would suit Saka imo.Saka is kind of like Mount. Can do a good job in the final third but I think his best position is the central winger role or anywhere where he isn’t relied on to be a primary goal threat.
Hopefully Raphinha means we get to see a little bit of midfield Saka although the best team on paper benches ESR and Martinelli and just moves Saka to the LW.
Yeah starting out central and in the pockets but drifting to wide areas is the role I see him excelling at long term.I remember listening to the Arsenalvision Podcast and Clive saying he believes Saka’s best possible position is at 10.

The hard truth that Raphinha is better than Saka? Hmmm, not sure I buy that one tbh and I like Raphinha as a player.That twitter account is dealing some hard truths that A-M aren’t ready for thiugh.
I get it. Right player, wrong time. Would probably achieve legendary status if he'd come home though!Was reported to have rejected a €19M/year contract to stay. Can see why that would immediately end any interest.
Long term Raphinha is cheaper and less risk. Gnabry will need to be forced out anyway. Guy just needs to have a decent WC to earn himself a 50M+ payday.
