Can he play the lone DM role though? I don't think so. Not to mention he's almost 30 himself. As a stop gap to finally push Busi out sooner I guess he'd be okay. But at this point I'd take almost anyone else from the (semi) big clubs at this point, if it means that. And Brozo would only be good...

Juggled nicely in the presentation. :thumbsup: Biggest hurdle overcome, means he's gonna be good. :D

For me it was the 99/00 season :) And I agree, although to be fair, I wasn't invested as much back then, since I was just a kid and still followed the club just sparingly.

0:31 and 1:39 BBZ creaming himself right there. :lol::lol::lol: Xavi almost looks like a midget when standing side by side, he probably had to stand on his toes just to reach Auba's back of the head there. :worthy:

And not just they were both Arsenal's former captain and their number 14 when we signed them, I agree.

Welcome Auba! Gonna be so weird seeing him wear #25 though :p

Move on already. We had to move on from Messi some time. Might as well did it the summer the new Board came in. Yes the full rebuild had to wait and it set to happen a year later, but that's only because we had to sort out our biggest financial holes first. And Messi is not exactly lighting it...

Arsenal just announced termination by mutual consent. So stop having ideas about Arsenal paying him anything anymore. He signed as a free agent, a 6+12 months optional contract with us, reducing his wage from 350k per week to around 83k per week. If we don't use the option to extend him in the...

We can always switch Ferran and Auba around and put Ferran on the left and Auba up front, if it turns out he doesn't have the pace for LW.

He basically stopped playing defense and running back though. That is a classic case of lost motivation. Yes he might not be the classic LW, able to run in behind anymore. I actually thought he never was that (well maybe back at Dortmund, when he truly was a speed demon), but at Arsenal he...

He declined quite a bit since signing that last contract extension at Arsenal, but I honestly think that was more a mental thing. Got worse for him in the last year or so, when he also had trouble in his personal life with his mom being sick (that's why he was actually stripped of his captaincy...

Maybe not. I'd imagine we could come to a some kind of settlement, where he accepts to get the money for like 3 out of the 6 months remaining, if he agrees to leave now and can join whichever club he wants immediately and get that big fat signing bonus from whoever will be stupid enough to take...

Apparently we've actually managed to make that 1 year optional, so we can even release him after just 6 months, if he doesn't work out (or if we don't make top 4 I imagine). Worst case scenario he stays as a backup to Haaland for one more year, since LDJ is going back to Sevilla and we're...

What are you on about? He was there at the offices, he signed the deal. All that it's delaying the official announcement is that Arsenal must first announce that they terminated his contract. Then he's a free agent and it literally doesn't matter when we make our announcement after that. It's done.

From 350k to apparently around 83k per week. He'll earn just under 6M with us for 18 months, he would've earned over 25M with Arsenal in the same time frame. So that alone is almost 20M. And maybe he would've gotten some performance bonuses there too, so it could be close to 30 actually.

He breached Covid protocols and was late from returning abroad. He apparently went to France to visit his sick mom, and extended his stay without consulting the club.

Reports now actually coming in that it could indeed be a free signing. We're gonna have to wait for the official announcement, tons of different reports coming in right now.

The deal will be of 6 months loan + 1 year optional. There will be NO loan fee that Barca will pay to Arsenal. There will also be NO buy option. He has also agreed to vastly reduce his wages. Fantastic deal for us, basically no risk, and we get a potential game winner to help us with our top 4...

Seems like Auba it is after all. If the medical goes alright, that is.

Werner ;)
