Was kinda wrong about way worse players, England is loaded on the wings, midfield just sucks and CBs aren’t special
So suddenly there's noise about Campos talking to us (and Madrid)? I don't know how to feel about it because of his Mendes connection and the cut he takes for selling players scouted by his company
director of football at Lille who all of a sudden is rumored to be coming to Arsenal. coming from RMC Sport in France it looks like. not sure how reliable they are but they're not a rag.
Seems as though Lille are not in a good financial position and are being raided so it makes sense. Manager left for Nice and Maignan was just the first to be sold
Botman at CB, Soumaré for the midfield and plenty of Winger/ST. Though they funded most of the squad by selling Pépé (then buying Osimhen with some of that and flipping him for huge profit a year later to Napoli) so make of that what you will
Campos would be a great hire. Built the teams that won Monaco and Lille league titles. Great at uncovering players for small transfer fees. He is exactly what Arsenal needs which makes it seem too good to be true.
if he was to be hired what would it mean for Edu? not that I'm too worried about Edu, but just curious what anyone has seen.
Yeah I was looking at his resume and got excited which led me to your conclusion. Only hope is that we throw him more money and you figure he’d be more useful here than at RM.
He’s really mailing it in these days. I suppose when you shitpost at such a high volume you run out of steam.
So Buendia to Villa lol? We are so broke, would be awesome if we had a scouting dept to help us stop paying premiums for players in England.
If we bought him for that price I’d have been skeptical. Villa outbid us so now I’m convinced we really missed out
It was a lot of money and I was skeptical but it’s a bad look to be outbid by Villa for a player we apparently really wanted
If we had set a price to his worth and stuck to it I am fine with it. Also one player doesn’t move the needle, we need multiple solid signings for the window to be a success.
Honestly we need to find a way to move a shit ton of players first. Going to be tough with all these bums on huge wages
