Could be.
Also could be a Udogie type we buy and loan back to Fener for a season.

Good! Let's get a move on. If Brentford are going to drag it out (which is their right) we need to move on to different targets
Reminds me of a Lee Gunner clip I saw last night:
"Don't talk to me about negotiations.... I worked as a sales specialist for 20 years....... I know all about negotiating! A customer approaches you; you ask them what their budget is and then you quote them a price and make the sale.... It's the same when you're the buyer...... You go to the negotiating table; ask the price, pay it and get your man. Simple as that."
Absolute business genius!

Never understood the grief Vorm would get..... As far as #2s go he was decent.
I don't buy Richarlison as an FFP induced sale, really. Supposedly they've reported nearly £400M in losses over 3 seasons, almost 3X the allowable amount under FFP. Their transfer business last summer resulted in £20M income...hardly even remotely close to an act to create even the appearance of an effort to comply.
Anyway, like I said, we'll see what comes of any of this. My hypothesis: fuck all.
Not the same type of player as Maddison at all.
calling bs on barcodes interest in Maddison.
Also, let's be real, this is the type of high profile signing that Levy is yet to pull off.
I wonder if they were ever actually in for Barella.
Tonali is decent. No where near Barella though. Not quite lived up to the hype of his early days. Has never really been "astonishing" for Milan and this is massively overpaying. Him, Bruno and Joelinton is a good midfield three though.
IIRC Bayern wanted him; Tuchel said no to a move and then went cold on the player.
Maddison doesn't make sense for the way they play really.
I'd rather have the best keeper we can get between the sticks in August than the one who is available July 1st. Whoever we sign is going to be keeper for 3 seasons or more, in all likelihood. No point compromising and taking 2nd choice unless you think 1st choice isn't going to come off.
That said, I'd sign them both to compete for the spot and flog the loser next summer.
Oh look, you're melting even though you have no idea what either one's strengths are and how they compare to Raya. You've heard we're after Raya, so he's the one we should get, never mind that there may be a better option out there.
Some of you guys...
Depth.
They will be in four competitions next season and their depth is horrendous. Maddison provides creativity that they don't really get from their midfield. With all that money, I'm not sure why Maddison out of almost anyone in world football but I can imagine that's one of the main reasons.
I’ve been watching his videos too, the guys hilarious. Especially when the other guy has to explain to him how the world works.Reminds me of a Lee Gunner clip I saw last night:
"Don't talk to me about negotiation.... I worked as a sales specialist for 20 years....... I know all about negotiating! A customer approaches you; you ask them what their budget is and then you quote them a price and make the sale.... It's the same when you're the buyer......

I think the question it's fair to ask is who is making this decision? Who is assessing the relative merits of these players?
Obviously we have a scouting and recruitment staff who can compile the relevant information, but at the level of executive decision making is this just Levy? Does Ange have any input? Is Scott Munn involved? Has Paratici been consulted?
This is a strategic player recruitment decision, and that remit is a chair that currently sits empty. Where does accountability lie?
Just as I thought you were going to actually contribute something when I started reading the first sentence, you reverted to form.
Maybe one these days...
Maddison would probably take Joelinton's spot.
With the gooners spending 60+m on Havertz, and also probably end up spending 100m on rice.
Down the road, we are sitting here patiently, while levy plays the waiting game for the prices to drop
