Seems to be the norm nowadays too for the club to get confirmation from the player that they want to join prior to actually agreeing a fee with their club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you’re wondering, yes I am fun at parties. The English language is renowned for butchering name pronunciations . The way people pronounce Martinez incorrectly does my head in.

And it was the same really at Arsenal look at the money Arteta’s been allowed to spend since Emery’s departure and he’s also reaping the benefits of players Emery developed and brought through Saliba, Martinelli, Saka and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That job is a thankless task really, unless you win the Champions League with them you're not going to be viewed as a success so Emery's not alone there.

The_Steve Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Amazing how these journalists are now all pushing similar stories within an hour. Al Nassr don’t have the ability to bid right now. It’s laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that strikes me from the videos i've seen of Diaby (and Bailey tbf) is that there seems to be loads of space behind the defence in the German league. Not sure if that's due to teams generally playing a high line or losing the ball in transitions more. Don't watch enough of it to know. Even the bottom half teams play a high line like we do. Pretty confident on this. Not sure why we're lowballing them with Bailey type fees but eventually it will be around 45m I suspect. Helps we're in europe and we also have Kamara here as he knows Deschamps will be watching us a fair bit next season so more visibility to be a regular lock in the France squad. I don't think he made the World cup squad did he and France had a few injuries upfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vowels in Spanish are the same as vowels in Englands neighbouring country Wales ……….. they are also the same in Bantu languages in sub saharan Africa , Portuguese and so on.
