Official: Tavares joins Lazio on permanent transfer

[akindele1082]

Arsenal fans, will always find something to complain about at this point. I've never seen a fanbase so bent on shitting on just about everything the club does.

Solid backup option with room for growth. Ideally, he plays very little behind Tierney next season. Cheap, young, with potential to develop into a piece we could sell for 20m in a few years. Not seeing the downside tbh.

The downside is the fans of his current club are happy to see the back of him. And if Tierney gets injured early in the season he could be playing 30 games for us.

I’m not sure how fans of the selling club being glad to see the back of him can be deemed a good thing. Considering no one knows anything about him and their fans watch him when he plays it’s safe to say they know what their talking about more than those who have never seen him.

Wouldn't pay too much attention to that

Some fans wanted Auba sold for the last 3 years and replaced with Nketiah.

I've never seen or heard of this guy. We needed cover at lb when Tierney gets injured for large parts of the season. My only concern aboutnhim is he's an Arteta/edu signing and I don't trust them at all.

[Salibatelli]

True but that’s the problem, Artetas judgement on players is dreadful, this is the guy that has refused to give Saliba a chance, is reluctant to play Martinelli and has had Xhaka as his main man and Willian playing most games despite being awful, the guy even wanted to give Mustafi a new contract, luckily he turned it down!

I’ve got no faith in his signings, I prefer to be familiar with players we sign so I can judge them on what I know as the guy is clueless!

So what you’re saying is that Benfica are a club full of Jayrams

I dunno, I just dont care about stuff like this. Most of us are happy to see talented players on our own squad leave but that doesnt mean they wont be effective elsewhere. My eyes see an athletic and talented kid with potential. Not sure who a better alternative is for that kind of price.

He should be third choice behind Kolasinac. We know he's not going anywhere. Tierney will miss at least 10-20 games a season. We need more experience at the back.

Might be mates with Renato Sanchez?

We're about bring in a player who: was caught drink-driving; repeatedly broke lockdown rules; posts strange videos of his dogs licking the inside of his mouth; publicly shamed his teammate Girmaldo in a video with Benfica fan.

This kid is the future. That spanish from the c****** [Álex Grimaldo] you’ll never leave again for the kid to get revenge for good”, begins by saying the one who is believed to be a friend of the player. Upon hearing this, Nuno Tavares replies: “If it’s not Benfica, it’s somewhere else”

I'm not suggesting there isn't a chance that Tavares could grow up and redeem himself, but why are we signing Liga Nos's most notorious enfant terrible, whilst simultaneously—and at all cost—axing difficult personalities? Where's the consistency from our authoritarian manager?

Arteta will wait until the next Dubai retreat and then cut him from the team. Trust the process.

[Salibatelli]

There is no consistency, the guy is clueless, he welcomed Xhaka back with open arms and made him a mainstay, criticised Pepe for getting sent off but excused Xhaka and also did nothing about Willian breaking rules by flying to Dubai.

It’s double standards, Arteta is truly awful a manager.

Obviously any owner with a bit of ambition would of fired arteta mid way through that horror show of a year and not only is arteta not here we are getting in sub rate players we need rescue this window with an auaor or maddison

[Highbury Hillbilly]

We're paying about £10m for a no-name backup LB while Leeds get a first-choice LB from Barca (Junior Firpo) for the same price.
