Whilst i still have zero trust in Levy, i do think this Raya deal with get over the line. No way we express this much interest, negotiate with him and obviously a position we desperately need for it not too happen. Plus, we all know Brentford are selling him openly as he wants out. It will happen this one. Just hope we sort it quickly.

Partey - The scum to parkhurst
Perhaps let's wait a little to claim that Raya is a big upgrade on a guy who won the WC, reached another final, same in the Euros, played tens of CL matches...and saved us many, many points over the years with his incredible saves
Kid is one of the very few that projects to be legit world class.
Has Dortmund written all over him but for 17.5m he can get minutes at RWF and #10 this season.
Upgrade on peak Lloris for sure needs time to tell.
Upgrade on Lloris last season? Come on now
He's a huge upgrade on the Lloris of the past few years and there's little doubt in that.
Agree.
People do this every window where they act like we’ve never signed any player ever.
Yes, Hugo made a fair few booboos last season (Woolwich, Newcastle...) and cost us some big points.
So did plenty other players in the squad, including our former Golden Boot winner Sonny. But ofc it's always easier to notice a keeper making a right mess of it than a striker missing glorious chances.
First of all - this is just false information. IT IS WRONG. Rodri was involved in 13 (!) clean sheet games not 5. FFS, how do you even post such shit without any logical thinking? One team was joint-best defensive side in the league, so how could their definite starter (playing in 36 from 38 games) could only have 5 clean sheets while Spurs (side which leaked 30 goals more!) central midfielder would finish season with 5 more clean sheets??!?!?
But regarding other stats - basically what you are saying that he is comparable, except for the crutial stats where he is so much fucking worse ?!?
He is disposessed double the time, but that does not even nearly describe the difference of how calm or not calm those players are on the ball. Whenever PEH receives the ball in tight spaces, he panics and passes it back or to safest/closest option. While Rodri can control the ball and either increase or decrease the tempo of the play.
Basically Rodri is tempo-maker, while PEH is tempo-taker. HUGE difference in terms of midfield players and to team overall perfomance/confidence.
All that does not mean we would have to sell PEH. He has right mentality and in certain games he could do job in midfield 3. I like his attitude and he is not nearly the biggest issue of the team. But to claim that he is either close to Rodri in quality... or that he is "one of the best defensive midfielders" is just total crap. He is not even close to that.
LeParisien has entered the chat.
LeParisien disagrees.
LeParisien has Hojbjerg as one of Europe's top 15-20 CM.
LeParisien says facts & evidence matter.
LeParisien can jog the fuck on.
This is why stats shouldn’t be used for every debate or argument. I hate stats. I think eyes are better than stats but that’s just me. I’m an eye man
This boy is fantastic. This is the type of signing we should be making for this price. His sell on value will be incredible.
Yeah he's going to be a bonkers player. Pure class.
He's too slight and slow for the prem, at this point at least.
Too early in his career to come over here.
Just watched a YouTube video. Not that impressed, he doesnt have the electric speed needed to be a top wide forward. Lots of flicks and jinks are not enough.
Aussie cricketer....but he's dead so it's not him...
€20m sounds like bs
If true, that’s great value for a real DM and specialist 6. I guess that means Hoj would be off and Bissouma/Bentancur would rotate as the deeper 8, with Skipp focused on the 6 role with this guy.
He’s going to Bayern if it’s a serious choice though
