Transfer rumours

[Mase]

Such a shame we let Lavia go…

You'll never let that rest

It’s the one and only time I’ve ever been right on here Let me have it mate!

He’s been injured for a year at Chelsea

Jury is still out on him

The point being he is no worse than Phillips and we sold him for £10.5m and bought Phillips for nearly £50m! He should have been brought in as backup for Rodri.

[Two's Kompany]

Such a shame we let Lavia go…

Yeah would've been a massive asset watching us from the stands last season.

He would have got injured if he’d stayed with us? Didn’t know the world worked like that.

[Two's Kompany]

You are correct, the world doesn't work like that.
However, he suffered several injuries at Southampton and then again at Chelsea.
It might just be he is prone to injuries at this stage of his career.

[johnny crossan]

Wonder who we will sign this summer? My hope is still Guimaraes (or at least Kimmich/Ruiz) to provide cover for Rodri and of course replacements for Eddy/Alvarez should either or both exit.

Still spent most of his time on the bench though Mase, if he stayed

If Rodri needs a rest we’re asking for someone to step in and help though. Completely agree that Pep hates kids unless they’re from Barca and named Garcia.

[blues2win]

Yeah Pep hates Rico and Oscar.

[Mase]

Yeah Pep hates Rico and Oscar

Could Rico have played more last season instead of spending £53m on Nunes? Absolutely. Bobb scored the winner against Newcastle, had a goal in the next game ruled out for no reason. Then we never saw him until this summer.

Garcia was playing semi finals at Wembley ffs

Everyone can see he treats players differently that are Spanish. If you can’t you need to get Pep’s ball sack from out of your mouth

These Garcia minutes are a myth Mase. He played 13 times in the PL in the19/20 season mainly when it was resumed after covid. He played 6 league games the following year.
Rico has played 30 PL games over the last 2 seasons- I'd have liked it to be more last season. Bobb i'm with you 100%

Ahh I was sure Garcia was stalling on a contract so Pep started playing him, including a start in an important semi against Arsenal at Wembley where he was absolutely shocking.

He shouldn't have played more than two bevermind 13

Arsenal have signed Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for a fee of up to £42m including add-ons.

Has there ever been a decent Italian defender in the Prem?

Alvarez hinting he wants a move.

None that I can recall.

I didn't realise that the only Italian to have a Prem league title to their name is Balotelli...

I can’t recall any decent Italians in the Prem apart from Balo. Di Canio? They’re not really suited to the fast pace.

Zola, Di Matteo and Vialli, no defensive or GK of note, all creative or finishers.
