Considering we turned down Bissouma for £25 million on some dropped allegations, this should be a no brainer. No thank you.
I agree to an extent, maybe if your manager wants Arnautovic then he’s not the right one.I’m not for this guy at all. But playing devils advocate.. when Conte wants his players… we all say the clubs should do it. ETH wanted this guy.

Correct. Not even through 1st window and we have reverted to type. They've lost the plot.ETH can surely sign players he doesn't know personally already. Him having, and us allowing, this sort of approach is really worrying.
I thought we were supposed to be going down the route of signing players to get a squad that doesn't need ripping up everytime we get a new manager anyway.
The problem is, I very much doubt ETH wanted him at the beginning of the window. In fact we know he didn’t as he wanted Nunez. So even though ETH may “want” him now, it’s because he can only take a biscuit from the plate that is put in front of him. It seems the bigger problem we are having with every manager is that the board are putting a shit choice of biscuits in front of every manager. Instead of Foxes assortments, they are being offered Maryland cookies and being asked to choose which of the broken cookies they would like.I’m not for this guy at all. But playing devils advocate.. when Conte wants his players… we all say the clubs should do it. ETH wanted this guy.
Yeah that is indefensible from ETH.
He's racist.

Nunez wanted Liverpool. So we go back to the manager. He says it’s cool we’ll stick with CR7 and Tony. CR7 says he wants to leave. We go back to the manager.

YesYeah that is indefensible from ETH.
Is he only capable of identifying players he worked with before?
Or strategy.Not sure interesting is the word I would use.
Incredible that they worked on this transfer for weeks without even considering the possibility of significant fan backlash.Tweet

But I also believe he would have requested a number of forwards before he got to that name which for whatever reason haven’t happened. He wanted Nunez, Anthony, Nkunku, Sesko if reports are to be believed. I’m certain ETH didn’t come into the summer window with Arnautovic on his mind.Nunez wanted Liverpool. So we go back to the manager. He says it’s cool we’ll stick with CR7 and Tony. CR7 says he wants to leave. We go back to the manager. Now we are here.
What exactly do you want us to do. Not being funny but I’m sure if ETH said find my a striker they didn’t comeback and says hey what about Arauntovic?
You joke, but Suarez at least is a good player. I obviously wouldn't want him at the club, given the racism, antics, Liverpool history, and age, but he at least has the quality of being able to play football at a high level and score goals.Well good, now that they’ve found out he’s a racist, they can move on to our other option, Luis Saurez.
Two of those are still attainable. Arnautovic is a number 9. Not a forward.But I also believe he would have requested a number of forwards before he got to that name which for whatever reason haven’t happened.

I honestly don't think we have money to spend beyond FdJ. Toney would probably be £60m+ - no chance.Genuinely would rather sign Ivan Toney
Who wouldn't??Genuinely would rather sign Ivan Toney
GiroudLike who?
Someone who can score goals, has international experience, is relatively low cost, has a good work ethic, knows the premiership, good in the air and on the ground,
Name one and I'll be impressed.
In theory, the club should have oversight on recruitment. Just as the manager should have a veto. That way you ensure the worst mistakes are avoided.I’m not for this guy at all. But playing devils advocate.. when Conte wants his players… we all say the clubs should do it. ETH wanted this guy.
Couldn’t care less.
You'll just support them. Gotcha!Not racist myself, so no.
Presuming this comes from his family being Serbian and the ill-will between them from Kosovo/the 90's?He said “Jebem ti majku šiptarsku” about 2 or 3 times (to North Macedonia’s player, who is of ethnic Albanian origin), Serbian for “I f**k your Albanian mother”, but using the word “Šiptarsku” for “Albanian”, which is a pejorative racist slur.
Ivan Toney would seriously improve us.Genuinely would rather sign Ivan Toney
Obviously.Genuinely would rather sign Ivan Toney
