At this point Luiz and Cedric are effectively free transfers and Mari was only £14m and at least 2 of them are unlikely to be in our starting XI.
They’re not necessarily positive signs but since this is a club that recently signed a £25m fullback and £70m winger I’m not going to make judgements about the limit of our ambitions based on these cheapish squad options.
The apology at city worked out well for him. Only one of his mistakes I remember him owning up too mind. Maybe im just being cynical though. Maybe not.
Talk is always cheap. People judge what you do but not what you say.
The club said we could afford anybody except Mess and Ronaldo, then we were always tight fist and always missing a piece or two here and there. We just needed another top player to accommodate Sanchez and Ozil at that time, but we did not act.
Now we are giving free money to backups and over the prime players.
I cant believe this shit cunt of a player got a new contract… baffled… completely backwards… if i play shit and lose us games ile get a new contract… yay
I think he is going to be a squad player for most of next season, unless our luck gets even worse (if that’s even possible) and we lose 2 or 3 CBs to injuries. I think Saliba, Mari and any new CB we sign or one of Mustafi/Sokratis will be ahead of him.
He is a disastrous first choice but as 4th choice or 5th, can’t ask for more.
Out of all the CBs he’s the one you could of made money on.
He won’t be a back up as he’s likely to be disruptive. This was one reason Lampard allegedly let him go.
You would think Arsenal should be able to make money on Chambers and/or Holding because of the homegrown stuff. Saliba is still really young. Don’t see how he is going to be starting player in 20/21.
Maybe, I think Luiz a year ago wouldn’t have a problem with that.
It’s a general thing I noticed since the restart. I always thought he was gonna be that guy that wouldn’t decline just yet but age is age.
Yeah the goal wasn’t Luiz fault, a misplaced disgusting pass under zero pressure from Kola is how that came about. Maybe a better more athletic defender would have prevented it, but ultimately we should never have been in that position.
He was on the wrong foot when Kola made the pass. A very bad pass too and I don’t think he expected it. I really want to blame Luiz though, makes me more sad that I can’t
