Tell them they're unwelcome at the club and up for sale? Not quite forcing them but also telling them they don't want them at the club.How do you force someone to sign for another team? He could have just said no.

Reminds me of when Blatter (worthless fat cnut) compared Ronald's situation with us and Real Madrid back in 2008 with slavery. Insane comparison.Trying hard not to slam the poster, but anyone who tries to compare this situation to slavery needs to give their head a wobble, at the very very least.
Exactly. But that is not „forcing them“. Tell him he is not part of the plan and his agent should look for a new club. Fine. No one forced him to sign with Juve so he should simply honor his contract with Barca.Tell them they're unwelcome at the club and up for sale?

How does he intend to do that?The plot thickens. Vows to terminate his contract. Can't be good for either side.
I don't know, the way Barca operates I guess he has enough reasons to be frustrated. It's probably a bit naive to think that he just could've said no. Probably would've risked his career had he refused.Exactly. But that is not „forcing them“. Tell him he is not part of the plan and his agent should look for a new club. Fine.

And this is coming from someone who enjoys Barca being in trouble a lot. Especially since they basically to,d Dembele to go on strike at Dortmund to force the move to Barca.
Players are sold for financial reasons all the tome tbf.You think? It's almost like the board did it so they wouldn't have to cover the loss personally... Question is why he didn't just refuse, had a contract with Barca and can just refuse to go.
Yes, f they have a contract though they can refuse to go and see out the contract. Club shouldn't be able to do much about it.Players are sold for financial reasons all the tome tbf.
Wasn't he on relatively low wages when he signed for barca... suspect he wanted a wage increase and that he's got that at juveNot sure why Melo agreed to Join Juventues, though I think we'll find out at some point.
When he started clicking in our midfield he had an injury which left him out for months....Arthur is one of my favourite players to watch so I keep up with him. Safe to say he's been disappointing for Juventus, which I'm not too surprised at as I've listed his weaknesses before and they get more exploited outside of a system like Barca's. Poor stamina, too safe in possession, poor passing range in general, etc.
Said season has cost him his place for Brazil as he hasn't even been called up to the Copa America. Our very own Fred has took his place. I'm actually surprised by this because I thought Arthur was brilliant for Brazil in their last Copa America triumph.
Anyway, it looks like he might already be leaving Juve. Rumours are PSG or a swap deal with Lazio for Savic.
So you don't know anything about him, but you want him because he played at those clubs? Even though both of those clubs wanted/want to get rid of him?Not familiar with him but this is the calibre of players we should be going for. Players with track records of playing for the likes of Juventus and Barcelona. Not raiding the Championship for the likes of Dan James. If he plays in a position we need we should be all over this.
Chopu moting has played for PSG and Bayern.Not familiar with him but this is the calibre of players we should be going for.

Thought Barca signed a gem when he started playing but apparently his off field antics (partying lifestyle etc) and ill-discipline meant he fell out of favor & was sold/swapped with Pjanic iirc.
Choupo gets a lot of unnecessary flak. He is a decent option to have and who won't cause issues when benched. He's loved at every club he's been because there is also a place for players like himChopu moting has played for PSG and Bayern.
Morata has played for At. Madrid, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Juventus.
Just saying.
Wow okay, it still seemed a bit quick like they didn’t give him the chance to change.Thought Barca signed a gem when he started playing but apparently his off field antics (partying lifestyle etc) and ill-discipline meant he fell out of favor & was sold/swapped with Pjanic iirc.
Yeah I really thought they were on to a special player but it all went downhill rather quickly. Seems he’s also having similar issues at Juve (maybe it’s injuries and not off field issues?) who are looking to get rid maybe.Wow okay, it still seemed a bit quick like they didn’t give him the chance to change.
Wonder if he will mature and become a top player for someone.
No thanks. A South American with a shit attitude. Would be like signing Di Maria again. The type of player Jose Mourinho spends 100 million on, then spends the rest of the season whinging that the club does not meet his ambition, once he realizes he's bought the Brazilian version of Djemba-DjembaNot familiar with him but this is the calibre of players we should be going for.

Why on earth did Murtough and Fletcher get the gig when we've got one of the greatest minds of our day in @redrobed going to waste.Not familiar with him but this is the calibre of players we should be going for.

So was this pjanic- melo swap deal a win for any side? Seems like it was just done to balance the books...He is a gigantic flop and a liability, I am not sure Allegri will have any consideration of him, except maybe in a 4-3-1-2 system with Arthur in the hole to extract some magic from his boring, safety first passing range, well away from any critically defensive duty.
Speaks volume about the season he just had, right?I think this thread title is due a change.
Yep. He went to Juventus but did he though? Did he really?Speaks volume about the season he just had, right?
I noticed that after a somewhat decent start, You/Pirlo were coaching Arthur to release the ball quicker instead of holding onto it and, imo, he just didn't adjust well to playing a quicker style. Mainly due to his stamina issues.When he started clicking in our midfield he had an injury which left him out for months....
bone calcification or something
Anyway he started good then injured for 2-3months, they were talking about a medical operation to fix things and then when he came back he was shite.
Gave away that goal with Benevento leading to our defeat and then on and off the bench.
Let me tell you guys Lazio talks are shit.
Lazio and Lotito would never trade Milinkovic Savic for Arthur.
Too expensive. Lotito would rather sell Milinkovic Savic and buy a cheap replacement than to swap him!
Also Arthur earn as much as Milinkovic and Immobile aka Lazio top earners.
So I'd rule it out.
I wonder why PSG would want Arthur after a bad season at Juventus.
Specially when he is in our books for 62m and we can't sell him for less than that.
Just because he is brazilian and 24yrs old and Leonardo is brazilian as well? doubt.
Would be good to be true
I call it bullshit. Arthur did poorly and injured and his price tag is too high to be sold anywhere.
I mean they'd have to be mental to buy Arthur for 62m!
But then we live in a world where City buy Grealish for 110m then anything goes and anyone is entitled to dream about anything....
@Ish explained half the problem. His poor attitude is well known and, when football returned after the lockdown, he refused to return from Brazil to play for Barca, which he's said he regrets now.

Thanks bro but seems to be only me and you that agree with me.Why on earth did Murtough and Fletcher get the gig when we've got one of the greatest minds of our day in @redrobed going to waste.
He has no imagination in his passing and has a off field rep for partying hard. No thanks.Looks like he's off in January with the PL being his most likely destination. Arsenal and Newcastle the ones being linked as of right now.
He has his flaws but his composure on the ball under pressure and in general is something we sorely lack so I still think he could be a decent option.
I've never seen him play or know anything about him but Gee whizz guys let's sign him up eh because he played for Juve and Barca.Not familiar with him but this is the calibre of players we should be going for.

He’s a troll. Just check his post history.I've never seen him play or know anything about him but Gee whizz guys let's sign him up eh because he played for Juve and Barca.
We should put you in charge of scouting.

Yeah, I listed those problems (amongst other things) previously in this thread. Thing is, in regards to his limited passing range, I don't see it as a problem myself. It's all about balance and what he could bring to the table would, in my opinion, more than make up for that flaw. He doesn't need to be a Scholes when you have a Bruno and, for now, Pogba.He’s a troll. Just check his post history.
Arthur can be wonderful with the ball but you soon realise he isn’t actually doing much at all.
Di Maria?Fell from grace like a proverbial fallen angel
