yeah. i don't like either defensively, but at least luiz can improve the initiation of attacks with his superior passing from the back.

Arsenal seems to have agreed a deal for Teirney. Even if the CB is Luiz, Arsenal might have lowkey had the best window.

While our fellow United fans are getting #BrunoFernandesManchesterUnited to trend on TwitterArsenal seems to have agreed a deal for Teirney. Even if the CB is Luiz, Arsenal might have lowkey had the best window.

Liverpool gonna struggle a little this year, I think Spurs have caught up to them. Spurs have retooled, whether they keep Erekson or not. City hasn't gotten that better either.
A few years ago I was really hyped on him, but he’s never come close to reaching his potential. He’s a great athlete with a lot of good tools, but for whatever reason he can never put it together consistently. He’ll have a really good run of games and then completely disappear.
I wouldn’t blame a team on taking a chance on him because the talent is there, but you have to be aware of what you’re getting. If you’re expecting him to come and carry the load as your main goal scorer you’ll probably be disappointed.

MU should get Luiz. He can play defensive MF as well.
Tomorrow about to be crazy.

Mansur Brown - "Heiwa"
"We are still waiting for Lo Celso, they must accelerate from Tottenham because on Thursday they will not be able to buy anyone"
Betis gonna come back on Thursday on some " Aye, we were playing, that 50 mill you quoted works for us
"
Levy:
Would settle for Lo Celso and Coutinho loan. If Dybala happens though
Levy with the supreme
So Levy engineers a loan deal with a guaranteed obligation to buy. Functionally, that’s not much different than buying the player outright. However it does
- Increases the total bid amount so Betis are happier with the overall fee
- Structures the deal so that Spurs presumably are able to pay less up front than what they normally would, which frees up more funds for... hello Paulo Dybala
- Screws over PSG by having what is probably a fairly large loan fee (maybe something close to the amount that Spurs wanted to pay up front for Lo Celso anyway), which then reduces the total purchase price, thereby making their 20% cut smaller.
57M is the total fee, 16m the loan fee
16M comes off the 57 Leaves 41M [Obligation to buy]
Pay 20 percent of the profit of the sale to PSG above the 25m they paid originally
Leaves 16M x 20 percent [Percentage of next sale]
3.2M to PSG
I'll be cool with Lo Celso and Sessegnon - if he somehow manages to secure Dybala
