Yeah, I just can't wait to see that big name striker, Arthur, in action. He will bang in them goals!

Frenkie de Jong as well, if rumors are to be believed - deadliest big name striker duo of all time.

:lol: And workhorses, workhorses also!

Everyone is fooling this board around. It started way before when neymar left. The war between neymar and the board and our players were still behind neymar and had some nice pictures to show just to provoke our board:lol: Our board is a joke and no wonder they lost every bit of respect.

The windows with dembele and coutinho after that were just a another case and this now with griezmann where they even left 7 free for him:lol: Everyone is laughing on his board and our players now too...

It's just sad at this point. Not being able to trust the decision-making at any level of management. Be it the coaches, sporting directors, club executives, etc.

Even if we had gotten Griezmann, would Valverde have benched Suarez as he rightfully should've been? If we get De Jong AND Arthur this summer, will EV move back to a 4-3-3 as we desperately need to do for the benefit of our key players? If we got them, would they even play? I have a good feeling Paulinho would get the starting spot, and Roberto on occasion as wide midfielders in the 4-4-2.

Can we allocate this Griezmann money well? Dunno, we've already seemed to discard the option of getting possibly the best midfielder we could've signed in like a decade. Segura is hated by his subordinates, the players, the media, the fans, and everyone. But will he be fired as he should've been a year ago? No.

Failure to execute from top to bottom. It's a mountain to climb to build a dominant team under conditions like this.

There was zero need to even get interested in the guy. He's a major driver of the lack of identity of the French national team. Personality-wise he just doesn't even fit a serious winning club. He choked in almost every final he's been in bar the last Europa League. Was a bad fit and a PR signing in the first place. While he'd no doubt add something he was a completely unnecessary transfer interest from sporting perspective.

Lack of priorities from the executives. I wouldn't trust them at all if I was a Cule, so don't blame you. Incomparable with what happens in Madrid at any level, because they tend to surprise positively and pull out good deals out of their ass in the past 5 years.

People seem to think lack of delivery is no big deal at this level. It fuckin is, haha!

Attacking workhorses - that's how we roll.

Well if only we plan to invest more wisely in other areas of the pitch instead of trying to fit another 100 mill attacker into an area of the line up where we've just spent 200 million all the while signing bang average midfielders.

Not to worry though we are linked with De Jong who's barely played 10 league games for Ajax and Arthur who is the guaranteed second-coming of Xavi.

There was a need and he is a good value option in a position Suarez is declining fast.

Great player.

Correct decision to try and take that opportunity and sign him. Didnt happen so move on.

How is it that out of all people, I'm finding myself agreeing with you?

Everyone else is just being too emotional right now.
