Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[dazthegooner]

Well they've just signed Onana bit surprised he ended up there but good luck to him.

[Marc Overmars]

Had no idea tbh. Been well out of the loop because of the Euros. Need to decompress before this shit starts again next month.

Zin - you've always said in your player ratings things like: "what's the point of him?" - everything I've said has echoed that, he gives us nothing and is a liability - even Arteta seemed to think so at the end of last seasson - nothing 'wrong' there then (I've noticed many times that it seems as though only you are allowed to criticse Arteta, Zin or anyone else, if anyone else does it you argue with them, it's almost like you want to be the only one who sees things...)

Belgrano - yes and i admitted in whatever thread it was that when I looked into it further that there was more to it than i thought (an example of what i said above about being prepared to alter my view if presented with evidence), however it was perfectly valid, I was in my teens at the time and I recall clearly at the time that there was a lot of outcry about it, Thatcher was famously challenged about it by a member of the public on the radio. Even having looked into it now, while as i say there's more to it, I'm still not convinced it was entirely justifiable

Trump - there are a lot of people who cast doubt on that episode - I doubt we'll ever know the truth

Israel - not sure what this is but I think you're referring to me perhaps citing reports (note 'reports' not 'rumours') that there was an awareness of the attack before it took place - again this has not been disproved so I am not 'wrong'

Lots of people believe in Angels, not really an argument I’d want to fall back on. Lots of people believe the moon landings were faked as well. The point is if you understand anything about the circumstances surrounding Israel, you’d realise what an absurdly illogical statement that it is. The Trump conspiracy is literally so stupid, it’s actually beyond even me who thinks you’re a half wit (well less an opinion, more an assertion) to think you’d actually believe it as opposed to being contrarian.

Plus they are both unfalsifiable in that there’s no amount of evidence you’d accept of how wrong you are.

Villa are selling Diaby to Saudi. On top of Douglas Luiz going I’m not quite sure how they expect to maintain their level from last season now unless they recruit extremely well.

They just signed Amadou Onana on thw other hand, whether that's recruiting well is to be seen

[Marc Overmars]

Calafiori deal has been agreed.

Smith-Rowe to Fulham is also on, expected to be 35m. Good luck to him, was a great prospect once upon a time but sadly injuries left him behind at a time the team was evolving very quickly. Really want him to do well.

Yes, agree, all very best of luck to him

Yeah. Shame it didn't work out for him with us. I hope he has a good career elsewhere.

Always looked a bit awkward to me, lop sided as if one leg was shorter than the other

Hard worker though, good attitude.

You wouldn't get beyond the 5-year old stage in football if you were lop-sided

He actually has good balance, it's the typical low-centre-of-gravity thing

And i actually think he wasn't always a hard-worker, i recall Arteta hinting that he wasn't fit enough, it was only last season that he looked like he'd got his weight down a bit, before then he was a bit lardy

I said looked like, not that he was lop sided

Just a peculiar gait that looks like he’s listing somewhat
