Arthur - amazing or shit?

[Megadrive Man]

He was being touted as 'the new Iniesta' a few years ago when he first joined Barcelona.

 

He's not going to be any good though. If he was he wouldn't have still been at Juventus on transfer deadline day even though they'd made it clear they didn't want him.

 

It's just an incredibly embarrassing transfer all round.

[s(k)aturation]

 

Never fuckin heard of him.

I am of the view we may as well give him a chance now.

 

Hendo and Fabinho have both fallen so far they are shells of players - Thiago is injured again - Keita showed yet again on Saturday when given a chance that he is just not up to the job and got hooked after 45 mins, frankly would anyone give two shites if he never played for us again now? - Oxlade is just posting on Instagram until his contract runs out - Jones seemingly isn't trusted - Milner is 37 and can only play limited games really -Bajcetic's minutes need to be managed  -  Elliott? Well should he be played in midfield at all?

I say given the above mess that we may as well give this Arthur lad a go - can he be any worse than the clusterfuck of options we have been trying to get to form and failing miserably something resembling a midfield all season?

 

He is an experienced player who has been at some pretty handy clubs - surely he could be some use to us before he goes back to Juventus - let's face it the other options are hardly inspiring are they, and he might just be motivated to show he isn't a joke...

If he turns out to be shite then so be it, I doubt he will make the black hole we call our midfield any worse than it already is, and he might just possibly make it a bit better. I think I would rather see him have a go than watch Keita be invisible yet again or Hendo do his slow motion replay impression or Fabinho put in his latest claim for slowest moving object at Anfield since the crane that lifted the last truss onto the new stand.

 

A free hit for us and him I think, give the lad a go....

 

I mean if we are paying for him and he is fit, he should definitely be getting some game time, that i agree with.

[sir roger]

To be fair he paid for his own trainer when he first got here, and our u-21's guy said he was great with the kids on Saturday and was desperate to give the full 90 minutes, so his attitude is already better than 90% of the squad. I'd rather see his name on the teamsheet than Keita.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Is he even available to play.

[Carra_is_legend]

What is the point?

This immediately makes him my favourite midfielder.

[LFC 6 Times]

The signing really epitomes this season.

This is all getting a bit Jean-Michel Ferri for me circa 1998

 

I was convinced if he could just get a few games he would be massive for us.

 

His 47 minute Liverpool Career didnt hit the heights I had pictured

He was signed by Houllier as a dressing room snitch, not for his limited footballing ability. 

 

Apparently....

One step down from Rafa having that hard case at Valencia who used to batter guys in the shower if they upset him.

Yeah I heard Roy Evans used to get Sean Dundee to make nuisance phone calls to anyone who chatted bubbles about the manager.

Haha - he tried to get Carragher to do it here as I remember hearing somewhere 

[Bobby Hundreds]

We signed Lord Lucan.

[El Rojo]

If Curtis Jones isn’t trusted to play at all these days, maybe this fella might offer something off the bench, however small it might be.

Maybe I could have a career in professional football after all .

[VladimirIlyich]

This is about the only mystery left this season.

[an tha]

Can he do any worse than Keita, Fabinho or Henderson have been doing?

 

I'd say probably not frankly.

[johnsusername]

Nothing highlights the shambolic nature of this season of him signing for us. The cunt needs shooting from a cannon into the Mersey.
