I don't see who they drop for him, unless city are buying Luiz back?
We’ve all seen how our midfielders play though That’s the reason why we’re all desperate for a new face in midfield… surely can’t be worse then what we’ve got.Wonder how many complaining we haven’t signed him have actually seen him play.
Probably not many.Wonder how many complaining we haven’t signed him have actually seen him play.
Anyone who can run, tackle and pass a ball with above average accuracy will be an upgrade.We’ve all seen how our midfielders play though That’s the reason why we’re all desperate for a new face in midfield… surely can’t be worse then what we’ve got.
Exactly what I was saying…Anyone who can run, tackle and pass a ball with above average accuracy will be an upgrade.
He literally put the journalist he got it from in his tweet.Tweet

So I guess Fabrizio was first for this one then or do people not want to admit that?
Watching YouTube highlights doesn’t really count. He’s going to Villa who already have a better player in his position.Probably not many.
Luiz has 12 months left and shown no indication to extend so we'll probably sell him to Roma for 20m +. Arsenal also been linked.I don't see who they drop for him, unless city are buying Luiz back?
Or he become an irrelevant mid-table player and all the know-it-alls throwing a strop quietly sweep this episode away.Can't wait to sign him for £70 million next summer when he's "Premier League proven".
"Know-it-alls", are you serious? What's your agenda against Kamara?Or he become an irrelevant mid-table player and all the know-it-alls throwing a strop quietly sweep this episode away.
Perhaps, it's the player's decision. Something like Aston Villa and Gerrard can guarantee him gametime (they may be selling one of their midfielder. Douglas Luiz?). Perhaps we can't promise him that? I meant he's also linked with Roma, Atletico too, and he still chose Aston Villa.So this guy is going to a team that already has a better midfield than us, but apparently he isn't good enough for us?
I swear we're just going to have our todgers pulled by Barca over FDJ all summer until we realise we're left with Fred and Mctominay for another season then we panick buy Souček for £60m.
We need depth! Why not bring in a player that had a good season in France who is also young enough to ship out on loan before selling him if he doesn't turn out good enough? But that's irrelevant as without even seeing him play I could confidently say he's better than Fred and Mctominay - it's literally a no brainer, but this club has no brains.
I don't know, it's not really telling in terms of not being able to improve us, when Tielemans went to Leicester, for example, and he's a far better player than Fred and McTominay, and there have been countless examples of very good players going outside the elite clubs in the PL in the past 5-6 years.It’s somewhat telling when Villa of all teams (all due to respect to them obviously) are the ones swooping in to sign him up for free.
Cleary nothing against the player. Something against the insinuation that we are some sort of unserious club for not signing the player. Based on little more than the fact he is free. He’s going to Aston Villa after all, not Bayern. People are speaking as if the club need to explain themselves for not signing Kamara, which is nonsense."Know-it-alls", are you serious? What's your agenda against Kamara?
Are people really cool with hoping we sign people with credible claims of sexual assault? After everything we've gone through with Greenwood, Giggs, Butt and the allegations against Ronaldo, surely signing people that are decent human beings isn't too much to ask. Might also help with dressing room toxicity. The signing of Ronaldo disgusted me. As did inviting Giggs back to the directors box for Ronaldo's debut after the allegations against him.Crazy that this summer now my main hope of the players I know for defensive midfield is Bissouma, so essentially a lot of our hopes for next season personally depend on two players up for serious sexual assaults, that sums up where we are at
Don't think many saw Mbappe stayingHow is that so different from Romano though? People giving out about Romano for being too safe, but he's trying to verify his sources. You either take risks or you don't. Ornstein reported that Mbappé was going to Real Madrid.
Did not know that about Luiz, makes way more sense now, cheers.Luiz has 12 months left and shown no indication to extend so we'll probably sell him to Roma for 20m +. Arsenal also been linked.
McGinn has been pretty poor since January aswell.
He is signing to play as a 6 for us.
Seems a good signing for us but we sign good players and still collapse with 15 minutes to go when 2 up in games so hard to feel much excitement about it.
You think he will?As if people think this guy won't start over fecking Luiz and McGinn
I agree, sadly though the entertainment and football seems more important. People saying Greenwood is finished at the club regardless and its disgusting...forget, didnt ROnaldo pay of the woman in question, is the guy at West Ham that kciekd the cat still getting much abuse, not from West Ham now he is performing. Countless cases of players with really distateful off field activities....you could go right back to Lampard and Ferdinand, Gudjohnsen......all long forgotten now, it isnt a recent thing young people having too much success, money and fame within the game and acting disgustingly. There is the hope they can mature into decent people, that is no excuse or consolation for some of the peopl ethey have treated so disgustingly and changed the lives of along the way though is it.Are people really cool with hoping we sign people with credible claims of sexual assault?

I actually think he will start with them, can see Buendia and Ramsey fighting for a spot further forward, think Kamara will play behind McGinn and Luiz.You think he will?
Two very decent players there.
They've been absolutely god awful for much of this season and neither of them are DMs. He will be competing with Nakamba for game time and I expect him to win that battle.You think he will?

He's going to slot right in as a 6. And TBH I want to really upgrade on McGinn and possibly Luiz for the 8 role. I don't know if that is realistic, but we've signed Coutinho (twice) and Kamara on a free when a ton of 'european' clubs were after him.I don't see who they drop for him, unless city are buying Luiz back?
Yeah, I think Luiz is gone aswell, and wouldn't at all be sad to see McGinn follow him out.Luiz has 12 months left and shown no indication to extend so we'll probably sell him to Roma for 20m +. Arsenal also been linked.

He doesn't play McGinns role all, so would be playing with him if anything.As if people think this guy won't start over fecking Luiz and McGinn
In theory, he should work very well as a "false CB" in the DM role, as Cash and Digne get forward. The energy from Mcginn and Ramsey should compliment him well in your midfield and should help you retain possession better - something you were terrible today at.My only caution on this is we signed Sanson who was good box to box player for Marseille and he's started about 5 games for us in 18 months for a variety of reasons.
Kamara has higher potential I imagine but can remember people going mad about Soumare from Lille who was key in them winning the league and he's struggled to make an impact so far at Leicester.
Interested what the guys who actually watch French league on here regularly below PSG think.
What are your thoughts on Lucas Gourna-Douath? 18 year old DM/CM at Saint Etienne..He doesn't play McGinns role all, so would be playing with him if anything.

Soumare was more fabled (from what I remember) for his physicality and ability to cover ground and it didn't translate to the Prem at all. Not really this guy's strengths.
I've described him as quite similar to Rice. He is a better passer and more composed on the ball in my opinion, but worse carrier of the ball and not as athletic.
