Oh well. I hope that the money we've saved as a result of pursuing Fazio instead ( or no one ) is used to land MS. There's no excuse if the money is not directed to signing the managers top target.

Best way to describe Fazio is look at Mertesacker.

That's not to say he's a bad defender as Arsenal fans rate Per very highly but it is imperative he is put alongside a more tenacious, mobile CB. Not sure Vertonghen fits that bill completely but Jan needs to up his game. Looked happier on Sunday with Capoue going for the long balls, allowing Jan to drop back. Also Jan was afforded more freedom to get forward as Capoue filled in. Capoue, Jan and Fazio will be tough to get through and if you had a pressing system alongside them, the lack of pace should not be as big an issue.

Wouldn't surprise me if Musacchio signs a new deal with Villarreal shortly and comes out with the line "I have never wanted to leave". All crap of course. Highly likely his part of the deal was done. We just couldn't get the third parties to agree.

He'll get a pay rise to satisfy his disappointment and sadly, IMO, go to another club next summer who don't have third party restrictions or can massively overbid to overcome it.

And yet he's still quicker than Mertesacker. People panicking about his pace will be pleasantly surprised IMO

boo! booooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh well, interesting to see if we target another CB apart from Fazio, if Dawson AND Vlad are still going.

They gave a shit when I said it first time lol.
But you didn't really know did you? You were just doing that annoying thing that negative people do - jump on an alternative (pessimistic!) band wagon just to seek attention. You got it so well done to you!
No one is going to say "wow this guy knew all along" because you had no idea - you're a nothing seeking something!
Once again well done, have your moment of glory!
