CyberPingu posted:A few years ago I'd agree that Liverpool weren't a huge global club but now they are consistently doing well in the League and CL I don't see why players would go to Barca or Real tbh Barca and Real are both bigger clubs with more money in better places. Plus players from Southern Europe and Latin America tend to favor those clubs. So that’s why.

I wonder how much they’d actually get for him under the circumstances

Shrapnig posted:He's an Arsenal center midfielder, they're all bad. Not to mention that he was so bad that Emery didn't think he was good enough for the current Arsenal midfield which is insanely bad. He’s not that bad, really. He’s very limited but is kind of useful as a utility player. I think he was frozen out because he was hilariously overpaid. He’s not so bad that he shouldn’t get any playing time with this awful Arsenal team.

Bundy posted:I'd argue all the hilarious weak spots in Arsenal's team have been recent transfers. That hilarious back line minus Chambers/Bellerin who seem to be permanently injured in fine Arsenal tradition. Then of course there's Xhaka. The 15/16 and 16/17 summers were disastrous for Arsenal and set them back years. They only signed Cech in 15/16 and then blew a ton of money on Xhaka, Lucas Perez, and Mustafi the next year.

Why is he still there?
|
Arsenal could have a pretty good squad with one excellent central midfield signing and two excellent defensive signings. The question is more whether the club is capable of making three signings like that, which they probably aren’t.

Akileese posted:Arteta is saying Xhaka wants to stay and he wants him at Arsenal. Hertha Berlin just signed a defensive midfielder from Stuttgart so I guess that tracks? Honestly, with all of his faults getting rid of him now doesn’t make much sense. Arsenal have so few senior midfielders that even if the signed a new one this transfer window they would still need him as a warm body.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I thought they weren't supposed to (officially) discuss terms with the player without the transfer fee being agreed? It’s common for the selling team to give the buying team permission to negotiate with their player. It’s also common for buying teams to ignore all rules associated with transfers.

Wow, Bentaleb is only 25. It feels like he was playing at Spurs a decade ago.

Shrapnig posted:Freddy Adu is still only "30" and has played for 14 clubs in nine countries in his career. I used to check in on Freddy’s career, but it’s been a while. And omg the guy hasn’t played since 2018 after being released by a USL team. It’s really kind of amazing.

He deserves some minutes probably, but it seems like Emery absolutely shattered the team’s morale, and I get the impression that Arteta is trying to get the players who will be around for more than a year working in some kind of coherent fashion and re-integrating them into the team, which is fair enough tbh.

I’m sure I’ve seen Soares play, but I don’t remember him at all. Seems sensible enough to take him on loan given the number of bad and injured defenders Arsenal already have on the books. I have to say though that I don’t remember any other team signing injured players like Arsenal seem to do. Tierney wasn’t fit when he came in and we all know about Kallstrom’s broken back. E: here’s Soares looking as though he’s smelled a fart:
