Lucas Moura flew in last night to conclude the deal and take a medical today. Would be nice to unveil him at HT against United.
So how much of today will be dedicated to his unveiling video? Come to think of it, sooner or later there's going to be a team that spend so long putting together the unveiling video that they don't actually get the deal sorted out in time. Or is that what really happened with Leicester's bungled signing of Adrien Silva?
If we get it signed off within the next 5 mins he'll be eligible for tomorrow. Highly doubtful that Poch would play someone who may or may not even have half a training session behind them but it'd be nice if Poch just took a little risk. He could be the spark we've been lacking in a number of games and we all know Jose's bringing the armour plated double decker tomorrow.
TalkBALLS are reporting that we're considering bringing Janssen back from Fenerbahce. Meanwhile, on the Onomah front
That should be the acid test : leave the doors ajar. If they can physically escape to Chelsky but choose not to, then we have the right player (irrespective of how verminous their agent may be) .
I think that I read that Vinnie is broken and facing something like 3 months out. Shame, I still think that there's a talent there if someone can get him firing again. Vinnie, you should have gone to Brighton, mate.
It's not the first time players have been shifted around the Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan Teams, either. As I said in another thread last week, this is why FIFA should've nipped the Taurine FC franchise in the bud back when they had a chance over a decade ago.
From BBC thread Tucker M: Giroud holds the keys to Arsenal's season. Let's hope he doesn't take revenge to all the unfair criticism he's received by his own fans. @remembercolinlee is this you?
Word is that Chavs are offering David Luiz as a make-weight for Giroud. Would Chavs let him go if he was still any good? The suggestion is that Mikhataryan is as lazy as Ozil, and with a defender who doesn’t actually defend (Luiz), is Arsenal going to be stronger without Giroud and Sanchez? Worrying times for the Gunners!
Word has it that Moura arrived in London via Eurostar. Take your pick which fare seems the most Levyish Standard £205 Standard Premier £263.50 Business £303.50
As I said ages ago, ENIC were effectively forced to dispose of their ownership in clubs in other leagues in order to remain as owners of Spurs. A case of one law for some, another for others eh.
