I’m gonna go against the grain here.

I think for 8m he improves your defence. I mean that’s not necessarily a tough challenge in itself, but for me his experience and character will help.

Surely not, Pep only just said the other day that Jurgen's making it up that they spend loads of money every year. ;)

The Cancelo transfer is old news, it has been in the pipeline for a few weeks. His crossing stats are impressive. He will put Walker on the bench. He is another player who will play in more than one position. Heard that Fernandinho will play a few games as centre half now Rodri has turned up

Doesn’t say much for stones if he’s benched for a midfielder.....

If he needs game time, we’ll take him on loan on the south coast......

I know a lot of people say you can’t or shouldn’t take a lot from pre season matches, but, whilst we scored some great goals from various areas of the squad, we leaked some very poor ones also and Luiz was key to quite a few of them.

No doubt he already knows and realises he’s not in Franks long term plans and will be surplus once injuries return with a possible full shake up of the back 4.

We have the fire power and midfield but we’ve constantly leaked goals and at times the buck stopped at Luiz.

At the end of the day, anyone who wants away get rid ASAP, we don’t need any disruptive influences around the squad and training ground with so many young players now featuring, so Arsenal can have him.

So many players that were shackled under Sarri and came under fire from fans are now playing with a new lease of life. Both Jorginho & Barkley have had superb pre seasons and shown us what they can truly do.

And with players still recovering which will enhance the team/squad even more like Reece James, CHO & RLC who all didn’t feature in pre season games, there’s an air of excitement at the Bridge.

Let the doubters doubt 😉

With Kompany leaving, we have not brought in another centre half, although ave heard Pep likes one of the young uns, that aside. Fernandinho fits the bill of playing in more than one position. I think Stones and Laporte could be the two main centre halves with Otamendi and Fernandinho as back ups. Quite like the idea of Laporte, and stones with Rodri and Fernadinho sat in front. Cancelo and Zinchenko as wing backs.

Honestly. I think he’s better than any you have. Granted you still need another. But for 8m. If you don’t sign another the. That’s just poor by the board.

What about the cool £1bn NET that has spent over the past 10 years since the oil money arrived
