Deadline day thread

I completely disagree. He’s far too good for the championship

Because there's a massive bidding war to get him to the PL?

I missed that bit.

 

[NSIS]

Debateable.

Beckham?
I'd say Kante technically is pretty poor but is a top player
John Terry
Sol Campbell
Claude Makelele
Matic
Roy Keane

If anything you could have the most talent in the world but piss it all away without the right attitude and/or build.

All have a talent. You’re illustrating some of the premiership’s top players, which does nothing to further your point.

Like there was for Dele Alli, you mean?

Arsenal apparently in for Vida

if that is true and he plays thats 1 less challenger for top 4

Plenty of players have scored good strikes against us ... some for teams that got relegated ... but we've had a pretty good record against Villa since we came back to the Prem and he was being touted as a wonderkid back then even ... only thing noticeable about him was his silly hair and that he played with his socks rollef down, looking a nob ... but he spent most of his time chasing shadows but without the pace to catch any ... was completely underwhelmedbat us being linked and overjoyed when we signed Maddison instead ... remains to be seen if I'm right of course ...

Grealish is clearly talented, but there have been lots of questions about his attitude and application.
He seems to have sorted that out since getting injured at the start of last season, but that's still not a very long time to rely on.
Apparently he's had a good run in a deeper role, but I've not seen enough of him to judge.

Maddison looks a good prospect.
Seemed to get a bit carried away with the adulation at Norwich, but he was often their best player by a mile.
Could do well in your midfield, if he's given the chance and he can stay awake.

so basically anyone is talented then, i think that's what you are saying.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

He's ****ing ****e. Did anyone see the Villa game?

He's a championship player. Simple as that.

He's ****. Spurs fans would be saying the same if he was joining Arsenal.

 

[Mantis]

Hmmm. Might be a backup for the cups and the Europa league. We'll see. My issue is we are buying aged players with little to no resale value. Ridiculous.

He was definitely never involved in a fixed match. Nope.

 

[NSIS]

They have to have a talent, yes. Kante’s Are his engine, His ability to spot danger and snuff it out,

It’s not all about being Messi or Ronaldo.

that'd be ridiculous buying him for 20 odd million to be a backup. As you say he's not even young!

cool, so pretty much all premier league players are talented to make it at the level.

Thanks

Since when did Arsenal's transfer dealings ever make sense.

He was out of contract about five minutes ago, too. Bizarre.

i thought the whole point of dumping arsene on his arse was that the team and club would be run properly

Not all. Some are there, but don’t belong there.

IKR. Could have got him for nothing (if we actually needed him). This has all the hallmarks of a Wenger signing.

His body may be gone, but his spirit still remains.

You can't still blame him, FFS! Wenger Out! Get the ****ing banners out!

That's true, repetition beats natural ability in the end.
