Why are people complaining about spending money on an older player? It's not FIFA/FM, they're trying to win the Champions League and he's the perfect addition to achieve that. Age doesn't mean he won't give them 3-4 top, top years.
 
Very good bench option. We don't have a reliable cf that can replace Suarez. In this market, Vietto is a really good bargain.

Very good, true. Will it impact Munir's development negatively though? Still, I preferred a goal scoring winger like Nolito who could've transitioned seamlessly

Stellar business in the transfer market, now some sales are going to finalize shortly too. The RB issue is the only glaring concern that was never going to be easy to resolve
 
What difference does it make, it's nothing new. Edging closer literally at this stage is saying nothing has happened, as it was apparently just 1 step away from everything being agreed (Raiola's fee).
I'm just happy it's not saying that Real have got themselves into the picture.

Fair enough. Saying that aren't the Madrid mouthpiece newspapers reporting that Real are? Either way, I never get too invested in any one transfer, in case of disappointment.

I'd rather listen to Italian papers than the toilet paper Madrid mouthpieces. The Italian papers will probably have a better grasp on the situation and won't put a Madrid spin on everything.
 

I don't think dybala is played as their man up top is he? Thought he drifts in from wide.

Well they were going to win the Serie A with or without him anyway and i don't think it's a good idea to spunk that much money on a 28 years old striker. They have quality all over the pitch upfront too with Dybala so they should have just waited for the right person imho. ~100 million should get you a player with world class potential right before their prime, Higuain is not world class in my eyes.

They were missing quality upfront in the champions league imo. Aside from Dybala they had no other world class attacker. Having higuain in that front 3 will be a massive, much needed boost. In today's market higuain isn't far off the release clause tbh. Record breaking serie A campaign for a player who has always been a world class finisher imo.
 
Really, really not liking these Mahrez to Arsenal rumours. Giroud isn't the best striker but as he showed at the Euros, if you put a good team behind him he will score goals.
Throw Granit Xhaka into the mix to stregthen the midfield and it looks like Arsenal would certainly be challenging for the title this season.

Arsenals main problems for me the last 10 years have been lack of leaders and quality centre backs. Xhaka may help with the leadership but they still wont have addressed there key problems signing Mahrez
 
How can they pay 94m euros on a 28 yr old?

This makes Pogba deal look a bargain. Pogba is a quality player nowehere near his peak so the fee is ridiculous for potential....but Higuain is at his peak, with no likely sell on potential and although a very good striker he isnt a world star or even world class for me....which Pogba can become, had a brilliant season but is he a brilliiant striker? He shouldnt cost half that fee even in todays market, Juve have been so clever and canny, makes you wonder if that was more to do with Conte than the directors as this is ludicrous
 





I see it ! ;-) Yes, it can be official soon , but it can also hang around for a tiny detail
 
Amazed at that Higuain fee, puts the Pogba fee into perspective. Is Higuain the best striker in the world? Why so high a fee?
He broke an age old record of most goals in serie a or something last season.
 
If you do a reverse image search on that persons profile image you'll see he's fake.
 
We don't have space for Mahrez here so I don't want us to sign him but I also really, really don't want Arsenal to get him either. Unfortunate situation.
The only player better than him we have is Ibrahimovic, so if we can get him we need to make space. Clear out the lesser players.

We don't have space for him because inferior players to him are taking up the space.

Solution?

Sell Lingard and Mkhi plays central.

Front 4 of

Mahrez-----Mkhi-----Martial
----------------Zlatan---------------
 
I wasn't aware that he was a fake, just sat it pop up and assumed he was a businessman who got wind of the transfer.

The second tweet is from the journalist who broke the story so he will obviously support his own story with a caveat of course in order to save face if the transfer doesn't happen
