Perhaps Bartomeu will make another shady deal.
Apparently Arthur was asked by the Barca official to wear the Barca shirt and take a picture.
This really happened. Someone here will probably find some tweet about it and post it here later today.
That's why I wouldn't doubt we will spend the cash and get him. it would be stupid of us to tell him to do that and not go through with it.Apparently the means of negotiations created some controversy. Arthur was asked by the Barca official to wear the Barca shirt and take a picture. This didn't go well with Gremio.
Hard to evaluate his talent but let's say it works out, then I would say the deal is fine.
But with him and Dembele in the starting line-up the chase for youngsters should be over. Proven players who have experience are needed too. Griezmann would be the perfect example. No diamond in the rough, no gamble but sheer quality and ideal age. I am also against two young CBs to replace Masche next summer. Mina e.g. in winter would be fine but I would want another experienced CB.
