Well said - the over reaction and tantrums are embarrassing
Fabinho | Al-Ittihad player

Fred and Fabinho are different types of players for a start so yea.The meltdown is hilarious in herewhat is wrong with some of you? We’re going to sign Fred. A far better player.
And I wouldn’t call it meltdown. More like annoyed/frustrated seeing our rivals make the right moves.
Without fail when a rival team signs a player you can count on many members on this forum losing their shit. They immediately elevate the player to god status and shit themselves.
What did Tielemans do this season?
So you're telling me that United, City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal are just sitting on their arses doing nothing right now?
Of course I don’t, no one on here does and if they claim to do so then they are telling porkies.
But surely you get that let’s say for example, we are interested in player A.. at the moment player A’s club wants x amount for him. Player A then has a great World Cup. His club then puts on an extra 0 on the end of his asking price.
This is why we should be doing our business early (if we aren’t already, again I don’t know).
Not much until Jardim switched his position from CM to AM.
I am not saying Fabinho is meh player but people here are overreacting. Maybe you didn't rate Bakayoko but a whole bunch of posters would have chosen Bakayoko instead of Matic last year. No one can guarantee how Fabinho would settle and after all, we can't sign all the players.
The main problem is time. I have no doubts we'll sign some good players as every year, but as I said, this year's window is a narrow one and there won't be much time. 2 weeks before WC, then when it starts no club will be able to negotiate with most players, then one month and it's the start of the season. If we don't sign at least 1-2 players prior to WC, we'll be in a big problem after it, because time will start to run out quickly, especially when we need at least 3-4 players and not just any players, good ones too.
The problem is us not signing good ones, it's when we'll sign them and if we'll able to finish all our deals before the start of next season.
It can be the right move for them but not for us. If we wanted Fabinho we’d have signed him. He’s not the oracle he’s made out to be.
There's absolutely no need for panic and overreaction at this point. I can only assume that if we wanted him, we'd be in for him. As others have pointed out, he's not part of a world cup squad so it's easier to get the deal done.
Comparing the apparent speed of this deal to our own is pointless unless you know everything that is happening behind the scenes.
The transfer window is barely open, deals will happen.

That's...a good signing. Damn. And I think with Keita - who I really rate - they could be a force.. But it'll take them a few months to bed in - maybe next next season will be their year 
. But yeah, it sadly might well be. They've done pretty bloody well with fecking Henderson and Milner in midfield..
Come on Jose - the league's more competitive than ever, you have to go for it this summer or forever feck off from English football!

Seeing all the meltdown, one would think they signed Messi or the Messiah himself!
He'll do really well there alongside Keita. Liverpool making smart moves to improve the squad, as long as they keep Salah and sort the defence out they will be challengers.
At least the Fabinho to United rumour is dead now, Mourinho wasnt too keen on him last summer and it obviously was clear we wouldnt go for him this summer. Surprised he went to Liverpool, was pretty quiet. The good thing is Liverpool heated up the transfer window, cant wait to see who we go for
Quickest transfer ever in terms of time from breaking news to confirmation video?
There is literally zero benefit to completing the signing of a player before July 19th (our pre-season tour). Assuming agreements are already in place, they'll go through in due course.
Extraordinary, isn't it.
They now have the best midfield in the league!
Fabinho, Naby Keita and maybe Fekir... That would be a big improvement to their midfield.
The meltdown from some of you everytime City or Liverpool sign someone is quite something.
I'll hopefully assume you're all right and I'm just the one on panic. I'm mostly optimistic by nature, but I got pissed off by this news today. Maybe it's my problem.World cup doesn't start tomorrow.
Mate, take a deep breath.
Bit of perspective is needed alright, i just sent a message out to my mate who supports Liverpool and that is literally the response he gave.They'll challenge City and most probably win the league.
What's with the fecking eyes, you have something to say? Can is a very limited player, a slow, nonchalant midfielder with lack of tempo. A decent sideways pass, not particularly good going forward or keeping his eye on the defenders. I am not saying Fabinho is world-class, but he is much better than Emre Can.
Well I am right. Still time till the WC starts.I'll hopefully assume you're all right and I'm just the one on panic. I'm mostly optimistic by nature, but I got pissed off by this news today. Maybe it's my problem.
Is he good though, or is he just another one everyone hypes each other up about?
Well that's escalated. Last time I checked a fee had been agreed.

The lies have begun already.
They already have lallana, hendo, wijnaldum and the ox. Too many midfielders. Guess they will offload one.
Look at this break! Going to regret not signing this lad.

good for them great for the epl. Let us add Fred and City Jorginho
Hopefully we get 1 or 2 players before it. I'll be happy with at least one important one.Well I am right. Still time till the WC starts.
There’s a twat that works for the Mirror pushing the same garbage. Some of you feed into this shite as well.
Everyone keeps going on about meltdowns. But I’d say they are equally the same amount of posts or more about people moaning about meltdowns which is equally as annoying.
Come on @Damien count it.
