Arthur - amazing or shit?

[Anubis]

Is it wrong that I actually laughed out loud when I read that Pearce post?

[El Rojo]

Tough for the player himself, but if it leads to us buying a proper midfielder in January, then it might not be the worst development. Surely we have to now?

Is that Chris Finch dealing the fatal blow there?

Yeah.

I'm hearing a loan deal for Jack Wilshere.

Chris Finch on a pay-as-you-play deal.

Bloody good rep.

[SasaS]

I guess we have insurance for this, hopefully won't cost us much and he will be going back now or in January.

 

We didn't sign him, he was never supposed to be a solution for anything just a hopeful stopgap in case of a prolonged midfield injury crisis.

 

It didn't look like a smart move, it turned out to not have been. We have bigger problems.

At least he can throw a kettle over a pub, and that's the real Premier League.

Why do you think it would make a difference? Jones is coming back, that'll be enough for them. The only way they'd do anything I think is if fab, thiago or Henderson got a season ending injury. Or if like with Diaz, someone pushes into a deal we have lined up for next summer.

Yeah, was thinking more a Diaz type thing, summer coming early. You’d assume we’ve a few midfielders identified who aren’t Bellingham.

Here's hoping he can progress to the point where he can be confirmed a failure.

He was so close.

Carragher liked a tweet saying Arthur will cost the club £8mil in fee and wages. 

 

Pure stupidity

You would hope. But I wouldn't be sure.

That sounds a bit much for an unfit player struggling to make the squad at Juventus. That is like 30 mil in fee and 50 mil in wages over the five years. Was he on 200k a week at Juve?

Juve released a statement saying the deal was worth 4m or something. There was an assumption in the media that that was a loan fee and we'd pay wages on top. I'm not so sure myself. Can't see us paying that for a player they weren't using.

He wants the Indoor League and not the Premier League.

Yeah, I don't know, we might be tight but we are not stupid, at least that was mostly the approach over the past few years. They may inflated it for the media or it included his wages.

The midfielder who came in to help us during injuries, is injured until 2023.

 

Bravo!

Arfur  game.

Liverpool: "Just keep Arthur and give us our money back."

 

Juventus: "Why the fuck do I want a footballer that's got no fucking legs."

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Looks like he's back in full training. Are we going to find out whether he's any good? 

 

He couldn't possibly not be an improvement on what we've seen in our midfield, could he?

Just watch him not be.

 

I don't think he will get much of a sniff anyway - he's been left out of the european cup squad, if Klopp fancied him I don't think he'd have done that.

Those who said shit at the start of the season have egg on their faces

[cloggypop]

If we can't throw him into relegation fodder when can we? 

[ZonkoVille77]

I miss him.
