I like him. He's a good character to have in the squad and a tidy player. Always plays like it's the last game he will play too. Maximum effort. If the fee and wages are right I'd have no issues.

From Boyland in the Athletic dealsheet this morning.

Quite clear that there is still rampant misogyny in society and the football world. From clubs taking the piss with PSR by selling women's teams to themselves, the treatment of women football pundits and to cases like this. It's disgusting. Arsenal and Arteta should be ashamed of themselves.

In an ideal world you'd let him go and bring in another player who could push Tarks and Branthwaite like JOB, but it isn't an ideal world or squad that we have. CB is probably our greatest position in terms of depth and quality and therefore it's not a position we need to go out of our way to...

A DCL/Beto hybrid. 🥸

That doesn't really mean it's a good thing though. It's all rank.

I thought we may do some transfer shenanigans with Roma and I have to say I hate it. The multiclub model is a stain on football but sadly needs must in a landscape dominated by it and other dodgy dealings.

Can't say I agree. It's not particularly wise to sell your only experience striker at the club since we have let DCL go. Besides, Beto performed well last season under Moyes and with Alcaraz. He's good enough to stay and we should have enough money to get a proper RB and midfielder without his sale.

Why? We only have Beto and Chermiti as strikers and it's heavily rumoured the latter will go on loan. We need at least one striker. I imagine we will sign another on loan or for free.

well yeah, I do think most good young players want to play now and aren't interested in being that low, but of course there are going to be some examples that don't follow that. Despite that, we have seen players at clubs like Chelsea/City leave because they want more game time. Additionally...

Please think about the clubs you're comparing there. Chelsea and City are far beyond the level we are currently. Also, the player you're describing would not be cheap.

Most good young players now aren't interested in being that low down the pecking order. They want to play. They'd have to be extremely good to start in front of Tarks/Branthwaite/JOB from the off and players of that quality will not be cheap. We have money, yes, but it's not an unlimited...

You're assuming we won't sign a RB. We just tried to sign Tete.

There is a month and 13 days before the first game.

Going in for Tete suggests we are trying to sign a RB.
