Yeah it's normally a young player who has been anointed to represent and embody Barca ideals or a media darling wonder kid who has been prophesied in the football scriptures to save us. Arthur in the end came to represent the romanticized Pep style that we have lost and so his failings were...

We've had some false dawns with the likes of Marlon and Mina so I'd keep expectations very low.

What was the previous record?

There's no way around it, this is a very good signing

I admit to starting a discussion about his health a couple weeks ago, but mainly because fitness and conditioning is something I take seriously

Indeed, and I'd add de Jong, Ter Stegen for sure. But Real Madrid seem better at creating a market and demand for players they don't need

There is a market for quite a few of our players, but they're the ones we want to keep.

This represents the optimistic view for sure. But it will only be very small numbers at best for a long time. It makes forecasting budgets very tricky. As mentioned above, in the UK there is a lot of concern

It's impressive work for sure. You have to say good effort

Yes this is line what what I was thinking. So our revenues are still going to be the highest in the world probably, or close with Real Madrid. It's just Madrid wage structure is much less burdensome and so they're better equipped to handle economic disasters like this. Even so, they're not...

So he's travelling to Perugia today, right? For the exam Can Messigician track his flight for us?

We have no clue what next year's budget will look like. For all we know stadia will be empty until 2022

There's also the player who seems to get given the benefit of the doubt all the time by many people. It was Arthur for a time He's a victim of bad tactics, pandering to Messi etc

He's got the physique for it

Depends. If we had Messi on a 15 year contract from 2005 on a small wage he would have fucked himself. Contracts are there to protect both parties

In normal circumstances, yes, but this is the climate of covid-19 where frugality and miserliness is the order of the day. City were being opportunistic at prospect of a freebie

This would just be phase 1, right? Phase two would require more work

Perhaps he would be let go for free now it's just Spurs can't commit to giving him a multi year contract right now

His contract is up next year and has a poor injury record. I'm not that surprised

I can think of one reason: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
