We haven’t paid a single bonus in 4 years
Shrewd businessConsidering what was quoted for Kouilibaly this is a good signing at around £40m

Nice oneYou were the one who brought him up!! Stop lying.

Well tbf he's implying Wan Bissaka in that sentence isn't he so yeah and no.
Stand by what I said though. He's not good enough and that's why he didn't go to the Euros and Trippier did.

That is kind of sad, but it will change now.
"Ole signs new deal until 2024"
For a lower table team AWB is superior. For a team with the intention to win PL or CL Trippier is superior. Imo.
Totally agree. He's not a top end player. Pep wouldnt go anywhere near him. Neither would Klopp. He's just got too many flaws.
Trippier isn't amazing. I never said he was either. However overall he's a better footballer and fullback. Southgate agrees too.
Southgate is infallible according to you then?
Okay. Also AWB is 23 not 29. He has time to improve his game. Lets see how he does with a proper RW in front of him huh super scout?
he could have been talking about Camavinga as the 3rd/backup? There's no two ways about it you've brought AWB into this thread however you try and sneak your way out of it
Tripper did because Trent was injured. The 2 RBs would have been TAA and Walker.
Well that’s the whole point as he’s out of contract next summer and doesn’t look like he will be signing a new deal there.
Plus Madrid are trying to save as many cents as they can for his monstrous impending contract hence how the likes of Ramos & Varane were offered pay cuts to stay and have told Madrid to shove it.
On Amazon Prime. If you have it, type in his name and it comes up.
Not even the Sancho saga can hold a candle
I was all over this back then, was gutted we didn’t get him. Seemed like a young Rio type (to me at least.)
We’ve been waiting so long.
How players enter the leagues/are originally acquired plays a big part. Big difference between a player walking for free when you merely used a draft pick on them (or traded players/other draft picks for them) vs. spending 8 or 9-figures on the player. PSG paid 180M euros for Mbappe. Seems like letting him walk for free would sting a bit more than Cleveland losing Lebron who cost them a draft pick. The #1 draft pick has an implied valuation and you can argue over what that is, but it doesn't hit the club's accounts like a transfer fee in football does and you get more for free every year (not the same pick, obviously). Huge financial incentives to sell players vs. losing them for free when you paid so much to acquire them in the first place.
Then we will continue to lose the ball cheaply and concede goals at the back post at will then.
He's got a good recovery tackle on him and he's quick. Don't rate anything else about his game and think the £50m was one of the worst value deals we've ever made personally.
That was such a Sunday update today. We will be here to do it all over again next Sunday
This isn't far fetched at all but I also think he's also relishing the challenge of PL football
What’s your list of CBs ahead of Varane?
Well given nobody anywhere has said Camavinga is remotely close to joining I think you're clutching there massively. He's clearly talking about Trippier in my opinion. Happy to be proven wrong.
Not even the Sancho saga can hold a candle
Even back then he used us to get the most out of Madrid.
Those comments weren't about Varane. I was talking about AWB because someone mentioned three signings coming.
I really want to get Varane. I don't see anyone on the market we could get who is better. The only better CB's aren't attainable.
Awesome! I live down the street and commute to Carlsbad for work. See you soon wearing a Varane shirt!
We never use a good old smokescreen anymore
I'll take that bet, easy money
Those two wouldn't go near him because of their style, but that doesn't mean AWB isn't good enough. Prime Mourinho would probably love him. Ideally you'd like your full back to be brilliant in attack and defense, but we're not City and can't spend 40-50m on a FB or two each window. AWB needs to improve positionally as a defender, but he's an absolutely immense 1-on-1 defender . Having Varane, another world class CB , in our back line should help him improve tactically (currently playing next to Lindelof, so he'll now be next to either Maguire or Varane), but having a proper player in front of him on the RW (Sancho) should also help him improve his attacking play. Trippier will offer something different (i.e. more going forward) and give us tactical flexibility and may also have a Telles-Shaw like effect on AWB.
If we get all three, I think each will be a good to brilliant signing in their own, individual right, but will also have knock on effects of improving the players around them, the overall balance of the team and strength in depth of our squad.
Big 56 hours.
Isn’t this literally what he said like a week ago?
Tarkowski, Mings, Luiz, Lindelof.
Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking, perhaps he'll be right this time.
