sourdough posted:Where are all th Arsenal transfer rumors, when will the replacements for Mustafi and Luiz be announced? We have been very strongly linked with Layvin Kurzawa, an apparently awful left back for PSG who just so happens to be represented by Kia Joorabchian, close friend of both Raul Sanllehi and Edu. There have been some stories today linking us to a Ukrainian CB but it seems like agent talk. That's it.

Chong is good enough to dribble through blind alleys at u23s level but hasn't currently got anything in his game to be effective against actually-good players. We had ex-United Kenji Gorre at Swansea who was like that, absolutely lethal for the u23s, then every loan was a complete failure (after we gave him a big 3 year contract).

A star for the U23s who can’t get into the first team should be a huge loving NOT GOOD ENOUGH red flag We’re not talking about the U16s or even U20s, the U23s are grown rear end men

Swansea's u23s have used a back 4 with 3 17 year olds multiple times this season. They're in the same division as United (since Swansea were relegated from division 1 last season). Being good for Man Utd's u23s has meant very little in recent years.

Inter and Napoli are working on the extremely rare and exciting double player swap, with Llorente and Allan going to Inter and Politano and Vecino headed to Napoli. I hope it happens just for the lols.

Ceballos wants Real to recall him and send him somewhere else. Hard to blame him, really, but also I think the reasons he hasn't played are mostly his own fault. There's plenty of minutes for him at Arsenal if he could stay fit. That said, trying to loan in central midfield creativity was always a terrible idea. https://en.as.com/en/2020/01/23/football/1579769418_374968.html

Ceballos is a talented player but the dude kept doing like blind back heel passes that inevitably went straight to a defender, it got tiring fast.

I remember him looking better than that, though it's been awhile so may be misremembering. If he's fit, give him some minutes imo.

Long but interesting article in The Athletic today about how players handle transfers, whether agitating for move by planting stories in the media, having an honest discussion with a manager about your career or being beholden to the ego of a billionaire owner. Of course you know Levy is going to be mentioned. I can c&p the whole thing or share a PDF if anyone wants to read it but this part in particular made me The World’s Dumbest Welshman, Robbie Savage posted:“I got what I wanted in the end, andI honestly believe that if I didn’t act the way I did, although I regret it now, I wouldn’t have got the move in that window and I’d have missed out on the chance of playing for Mark Hughes.” A couple other fun bits: The Athletic posted:Some will be a much bigger pain in the backside. One agent tells a story about a Tottenham Hotspur player going out to training and kicking balls everywhere. Then there is the midfielder who gave his club’s technical director a mouthful of abuse that, realistically, few people would get away with in any other industry. I'd almost forgotten about that mental Frenchman and his OG threat. sticksy fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jan 23, 2020 |

True, good point. I obviously knew they were both Welsh but didn't know it was THAT close of a connection between them, so yeah that makes sense that he’d look up to and want to play for him. LOL retracted. Right after I posted that I realized it wasn't as funny as I imagined because I was only picturing in my mind the fraud Mark Hughes we all know and love in the year 2020, not the 2005 version who was still a former United legend and a rough but not a completely terrible manager yet.
