That's not really the concrete news I was expecting, he's not even confirming anything
God I am getting fed up of saying the same thing over again. We are only buying players that he knows this window because he wants signings who already know how he works and what is demanded
Aside from Eriksen, this is the only transfer that I feel is absolutely nailed on. It's barely worth drawing out for clicks.
It says he will choose, I expected he has chosen.That's not really the concrete news I was expecting, he's not even confirming anything

Yeah I feel exactly the same, IF we can get it sorted for the last couple of tour games why not try him in that DM role
It's hardly surprising. We're a bigger club than Arsenal, we have Ten Hag, and neither club are in the CL. Of course he'll choose us. As soon as we agree a fee with Ajax this'll be wrapped up as quickly as Malacia was
Only God knows
I don't think he would announce it at a set time and leak it to an outlet for Argentine media though.
S American journalists are notorious in that regard.
That may be true but it seems like a questionable strategy. You're fishing in a tiny tiny segment of the talent pool. And sometimes managers have blind spots when it comes to overrating players with whom they are already familiar (Moyes with Fellaini, LVG with Blind, Memphis, and Schweinsteiger).
Neither Klopp nor Pep bought any of their former players in their first transfer windows. Find good players with the qualities to play in your system and they will adapt just fine to that system, whether they've played for you before or not.
How does this make any sense. They would put our expenditure at around £180M, when you include Malacia and de Jong
Look if it happens for more than two windows then I will admit I am concerned
That's fair.
Were the Spurs and Lverpool fans concerned when Paratici and Klopp bought multiple players from Italy and the Bundesliga when they first joined their current clubs?
Paratici couldn't see beyond Italy and he resigned the the same players at Spurs that he signed at Juventus.
As far as I know, the only Bundesliga player Klopp signed in his first two years was Matip on a free and he didn't sign any of his former players.
Paratici has focused intensively on recruiting from Italy but that's an entire top five league, a much bigger pool than the group of players somebody had personally coached before, and there's a good argument that it had become a bit of an underutilized market for PL clubs focused more on buying from France and Germany in recent years.
Matip, Klavan, Karius, Manninger were players signed from the German Bundesliga. Sadio Mane was a player Klopp pushed for due to the player being associated to the RedBull club in Austria and he was well versed in understanding the heavy metal approach of Jurgen Klopp. Klopp went ahead and signed Mane after it was reported Liverpool's data department had deemed Mane to be not good enough via the Graham model. Wijnaldum was the only player that didn't have a link to either the German or Austrian Bundesliga.
Paratici has mainly signed players from one club in his first season at Spurs and those are his ex Juve players like Romero, Kulesevski and Bentacur for a reported combined fee in excess of a 100m. And the targets within the UK are being negotiated by Levi because it's said in some quarters that Paratici isn't as well versed in the English market.
Whats the holdup. Just pay the fee. Want to see him on tour. Its obvious he’s joining you guys.
Is it common now that personal terms are always done before a fee has been agreed? Apparently Antony and Martinez has agreed personal terms.
Martinez much closer than Antony
How quick is he? I've been reading for months on here that we need a fast centre back to play in a high line.

To be fair Liverpool weren’t in a position to buy Dortmund players in his first window due to the transfer committee and it’s near impossible to get Bayern players to leave Germany in their prime.
Impressive. I bow down to your knowledge, mate.
We have competition for him from arsenal, although I do think he’ll chose us just because of ten Hag. With Antony though aren’t we the only team Interested in him?
We aren't going to be outbid by Arsenal. This should be in the Hag.
A lot quicker then Maguire… but that ain’t hard to be fair.
Pep was utter dogshit in his first year and Klopp didn't pull up any trees. Just because they approached it differently doesn't mean another approach is wrong.

Gaston Edul is apparently tier 1 for Argentinian players, although I should stress this is entirely based off of the statements of a few Redditors.
Is it true that he’s only 4”1 ?

What's the consensus over there.Quite enjoyed reading through the last 2/3 hours on Arsenal Mania
They actually don't seem to be as delusional as most of their fan base, kinda like them.
his constant rehashing of information is starting to grind my gears. Nothings changed. no need to post the same thing every 12 hours, wonder how many times he's tweeted the words 'Ten Hag considers him a priority target' since the window opened
