I don't mind, it's chaos theory, 1 of him, Keita, Ox or Thiago just needs to be for at any one time. If we signed someone with no injuries then the chances are he'd still get injured.  It's just another body, the rest is upto luck. 

I'm not sure if Keita will play for us again I think he's in Klopps bad books.

At this stage, I hope he doesn't. Absolute grifter.

Wow I thought I'd actually heard Melissa Reddy speak before. Sock in the mouth job for sure.

Don't get the hostility towards the Arthur deal.

 

Makes sense to me, actually. Especially if the alternative was Douglas Luiz! All everyone's been complaining about is that we need to bring forward the deal for Bellingham, we need someone in immediately, etc. If we absolutely can't do that because the selling club won't do the deal, then it makes much more sense to bring a Plan B (or even C) signing in on loan than to spend 20m on someone we really don't want that much.

 

If it's just "bring in a warm body who is of average PL standard to hold the fort down until next summer" then a loan is logical. Douglas Luiz would have cost 20m + wages for the next 4-5 years, possibly limiting who we can target next summer. The Arthur deal doesn't.

 

He's about as good as Luiz, more or less, which is to say he's about the same level as Oxlade-Chamberlain when he's not crocked. Average league player, more or less. So he's fine to have on the bench or to play 1500 minutes to give Thiago and Keita a rest now and then, and then we have no long-term commitment to him past this season. It reduces our "floor" of potential results and though it doesn't raise our "ceiling" much, that's fine.

[El Dangerous]

Once the bidding started going up for Luiz it made no sense to stay interested. I imagine we’d rather pad out the squad with young hopefuls with a higher ceiling than he has.

Disagree with that. Arthur and Luiz are essentially the opposite. One is someone who would offer an average level of consistency and would be available most of the time (Luiz), the other is essentially a boom or bust risk (Arthur). There is a decent chance Arthur gives us absolutely nothing, and a small chance he might actually raise our level a bit because of his quality. Luiz would just be sort of there.

 

But you're right that the reason we're picking Arthur is because there is no commitment, whereas there is one with Luiz.

Give Keita a rest? We can't even get the cunt on the pitch. All he does is rest it's his best position.

[Harry Squatter]

Keita has had longer rests than Ripley in the Aliens films.

"Have FSG signed a midfielder yet?"

[FrenchEyeGlass]

The one ITK on twitter that seems to have gotten pretty much everything right for a while now has said we are trying to sign one more before the window closes.

 

John - get on your fucking yacht and bring home Nabil Fekir* and all will be forgotten. Right the wrongs of the past.

 

(*FWIW this is purely an emotional desire as I don't think he's what we need. But I wanted us to buy him for a year before we nearly did and I couldn't believe it fell through at the last minute!)

Definitely somebody who knows fuck all to be honest, just trying to distract myself from the depression of Melo starting against Everton after not playing a single game of competitive football this year: https://twitter.com/LFCApproved 

 

Just to re-iterate, he absolutely knows fuck all, I'm just still broken from Fekir dreams.
