I'm just being realistic - or cynical, if you prefer. I'm not going to go all BBZ on you, but our track record in regards to young guns isn't exactly flattering. Frankly, I know next to nothing about Arthur (aside from the YouTube vids, just like 99% of you guys), so I could very well be...

He's been with the club for 6 months, so a little patience shouldn't be too much to ask for? Aleñá is training regularly with the first team, and if he's doing well there, he'll get more chances.

It's obviously too much, but I'd still much rather pay 150m for a Euro-proven player like Coutinho than 50m for a complete gamble like Arthur, who'd realistically most likely not succeed here. That said, I'm pretty sure the board plans on signing both of them - if financially possible of course...

If it's indeed a hack, why wouldn't they go out of their way to deny it?

Whenever I've seen him, he's looked nowhere what he was hyped to - no different today. I also don't see any reason for him to be dead tired, seeing how fairly little he's played this season.

Doesn't take a lot to be better than them tbh - they were all fairly bad. Silva wasn't good no matter what. I also think it's an overly simplified way to analyse that game. CP took the game at the scruff of it's neck unlike many other teams who have looked scared shitless when facing City this...

City got lucky there - result wise at least. De Bruyne looked in a bad state when he got stretched off. Bernardo Silva still doesn't look like the world beater that Barcaforum has made him into.

Yawn... Btw, did we turn into AC Milan yet? Just curious.

Benz is sidelined with a muscle injury for 2-3 weeks. Madridistas all over the world celebrating.

Not that I disagree with your assessment (I don't buy into it completely either, though, as times change, players change, clubs change and so on and so forth, so I won't necessarily trust history to be the one and only truth to consider when it comes to new signings), but just a few quick notes...

I'd be very inclined to agree, but I don't think he would accept a short contract. He'd probably end up on a 4-5 year contract on top shelf wages.

I get your point and completely agree, but your analogy is pointless as you're completely missing my point. I'm still not criticizing Umtiti (I actually thought I already made it abundantly clear how much l like him) - hell this is barely even about him. Fact of the matter is that we didn't...

Initially was going with an OK if he accepts to warm the bench, but thinking of the wages he'd no doubt command, I'm gonna go ahead and turn him down. Sorry, Alexis.

It looks more and more plausible that Alexis won't extend with Arsenal, meaning he'll be able to leave on a free this summer. I'm guessing he's off to City, and it's not like we've expressed any interest at all, so the poll is purely academic of course.

Until July 1st being the keywords here...

Nah, Alba has been up there in my book as well. Anyhow, I absolutely adore Umtiti who - a few bloopers aside - has been consistently fantastic this season, but that doesn't change the fact that his absence has barely been felt because Verminator and to a degree Piqué has stepped up. The dude I...

He has looked completely clueless in Milan - especially so in the face of adversity. I can't possibly fathom what Sevilla would want with a guy like him who, to boot, has zero La Liga experience.

946426941288181760 What the hell, Sevilla?!

How many goals have we conceded since he was injured again?

Reasonable fee tbh, as Van Dijk is more than three times as good as Umtiti. The footballing world has lost its marbles...
