I think he'll leave, but for City.

I'm genuinely surprised tbh, don't ever recall a team backing off never mind apologizing. Fair play to Southampton for putting their foot down.

Signing no one

Liverpool have released a statement on the Van Dijk stuff. "We respect Southampton's position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player." That's well different.

Thought that was reported at the very beginning anyway?

Honestly i believe Caulkin, it's impossible to be 100% reliable in this transfer reporting business but he's pretty damn close as reporters go.

In fairness he's just a random lad who reports news from other outlets. Edit: Fuck me about 5 people already mentioned it.

It's the 6th of June.

Like i been saying, i don't think he'll cost 15m when push comes to shove.

If that's the case then that's fine, i trust Rafa.

Do you seriously think any of us actually know?

Him actually dieing is heartbreaking enough, but to read his wife is expecting is just beyond what words can describe. It's just so sad, i can't begin to understand what his family must be going through right now. R.I.P.

That's horrible if true, hopefully it's just someone being an utter cunt.

Considering Juventus want him it's not happening.

Arsenal's defenders weaknesses are hidden? do you watch any Arsenal game ever?

And we are a promoted Championship team, what's your point? I'd take a whole row of "3rd" choice Arsenal players tbh

I'm simply sceptical of Gibbs. I'm generally sceptical of players like Gibbs - a squad player for a top 6 club his entire career. Monreal's a good player but like I said - he's no top, top left back. That's why Arsenal have signed another left back to compete or replace him. Making Gibbs third choice and available to sign... for 15m. Just my thoughts. Sure he's better than Dummett and the market is crazy. Still feel like 15m should get a great left back. Who isn't injury prone. Can't imagine Sturridge will go for much more than that. They have signed another Left Back because they have changed to a 343 system and Gibbs nor Monreal are really made for it, not because they need more competition.

He's going to Milan.

That's clearly a tactical choice, actually watch him defend. Very rarely does he get beaten 1 v 1 or drastically out of position, more than most in the league anyway.

Yeah that's not true at all.

From what I understand while he's a decent passer from a CB, I'm pretty sure he's mostly known for his physicality in terms of his aggression and pace etc. Obviously the Benfica fans we have on here would be able to confirm.

I suspect the extra 20% due to all the 3rd party bollocks is what the hold up probably is.

Not for 15 million when we have other areas we should prioritise. I don't think he'll cost 15m tbh.

Don't get me wrong he has had injuries but it's mainly just Monreal is the preferred option. I'd very much like to see us sign him.

Who says we are? Just to clarify, this was a joke, before anyone thinks I seriously think that My bad.
