DJBOB Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 He's a more PL ready version of Kosta. Tall - @TRO - pacey, good on the ball with an eye for a pass. Clear signs of the type of player we are trying to recruit and smart from Monchi and co. to focus on developing our defenders first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Had a peak at the Arsenal forum, they're disappointed but not overly surprised, seems a complete disaster for youth over there with no paths to the first team. Quote Sousa is talented to be fair. Proper modern full back but with good athleticism. Expect him to debut within the next 6-12 months and we'll hear gooners crying on twitter for weeks when it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's just everyone wants to leave West Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Don’t really know what any of this means but I’m guessing it’s something along the lines of more home grown players on the books even if they’re on loan might allow us an additional foreign player in the squad? Anyone know specifically? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Was included in Arsenal's 25 man CL squad this season. Seems highly rated so surprised they are selling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what my mates are saying, they are having a complete shit show with their academy. Also doesn’t help that Arteta says they need help, anyways if the reviews are true then it benefits us.

That's why they brought in the forward thinking, dynamic managers they did *checks notes* Pulis? Megson? Pardew? Bilic? Allardyce? Bruce? Wow. No wonder they rioted.

sidcow Posted January 31 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31 50 minutes ago, LondonLax said: I believe good sir, that ‘Lino’ is a common abbreviation for ‘Linoleum’ which is in fact an economical and practical covering for floors, often used in kitchens and other wet rooms. Hence the posters comment about being ‘floored’ by this signing was not a reference to the posters state of mind but in fact a witty play on words. A pun if you will. I don't get it. Can you elaborate more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If he’s heading straight out on loan we’re clearly planning for next season. Digne off in the summer and he slots in as second string LB. Same as Kosta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
