      Personally doubt he goes; we’ve been spending ages on this, plus he’s surely seen what happened to Phillips and they’ve just signed Kovacic also

        Yes but with Gundogan leaving and Bernardo Silva possibly leaving, they would have space for him to start. I just hope our groundwork with him is enough to get him to Arsenal.

      It’s part of my daily routine at this point, I F5 this place way more than daily anyway so it’s not too much of a hassle 😅

        I’m glad that you do, it’s hard to post stuff here, but I am trying to do more here daily as well. It’s hard replacing the goal streamers.

        Yeah, sorry about that. 😔

        Bot was a bit more involved than I thought. But I’m working on it.

    If the media is to be believed, we’re really getting rid of our first team midfield in Xhaka and Partey and replacing them with Rice and Havertz… I’m both worried and super duper excited to see what happens!

      From what I understand, selling Partey would mean another midfielder (like Lavia or maybe Caicedo?)

    No Rice in the claypot but I’m like meh. I think I’m a bit more frustrated that our main target deals are very difficult to get over the line rarher than we cannot get a specific player. I am a bit in awe that some clubs get deals done without too much noise.

      Liverpool seem the best at this. They move in silence and you only really hear about the deal when its about to be done. We have been doing that off late with Fabio Vieira last summer and hopefully Timber this summer.

        I wonder how Liverpool make sure even the counterparty aren’t leaking stuff. I get the feeling that a lot of the stuff coming out in relation to us is from the other team/player’s camp

          I think it’s about whether or not the opposite camp respects us enough. I do feel like most of the time we are being used as bait. It’s like Rice and West Ham…Mudpuppy and Shakhtar, it’s obvious they don’t want to sell.

          Most of the time it’s like buying a house, come in with a mortgage or the other guy comes in with cash in full right off the bat. Who would you pick as an owner?

    Our mods probably should get a group chat going; I’ve set up a Matrix account if anyone wants to also set one up and message. Not sure how it works but it seems like a federated messaging service so probably the best for us? I’m down to use whatever though.
