Mate, don't waste your breath. This guy has a talent for writing essay-length responses that say absolutely nothing. ShatGPT.

Who is this Fifi pubber , never heard of him tbh

[VCC]

They must be related ?

Arteta doesn't have the pull to sign him.

It's 1988 boys the managers make the transfers.

If a player doesn't rate the manager or head coach there is no way they will sign for the club and it doesn't matter what the Director of Football does or says to him !

So YES who the manager is holds the key to all transfers.

Ur clueless.

Sure, I'm Clueless LOOOOOOOOL

In Firfi's world:
DOF: I want you to play for my club
Player: But I don't like the manager
DOF: It doesn't matter, he is only the manager, I am the DOF and I promise you - you will love it here. I will give you 20 virgins after the first season
Player: sounds tempting 'n all, but the manager, he seems really backwards, I don't think he will get the best out of me
DOF: Did I mention 30 virgins after the first season ??
Player: 30 now ?!!!! Ok, I sign, where is the new gaffer .................

In everyone else's world who isn't a fuckwit:
DOF: I want you to play for my club
Player: But I don't like the manager
DOF: It doesn't matter, he is only the manager, I am the DOF and I promise you - you will love it here. I will give you 20 virgins after the first season
Player: There is nothing you can tell me that will change my mind, I don't rate the manager, I'm not signing for your club.

You think what players are aware of what managers are doing from other countries or what?
Ur saying it like they're roomates and they don't wanna work together when in fact footballers live in bubles where they have no interaction with any manager outside their own and during games they get to see other managers for few seconds.
They have all hired Agents to make those decisions for them and whats best for them ,because they have vast experience in the area of transfers etc.
If there was no need for agents players would just sign the contract themselves and not use them , but its far from the truth.

Truth is players outlast managers in most cases and it's about what the club is going to sell him on.

Pretty sure this guy Amario Cozier-Duberry got conviced by the manager whos making his Premier League debut in a few months Hurzeler that he will be the best choice for him in the future.

Managers play a role in transfers still , but of course they are not solely responsible for signings in modern football.
So you are partially correct.

Just FYI , though, you'll need to hate Arteta and constantly blame him for everything that goes wrong, and find a reason for anything that goes right to have nothing to do with him, in order to not get grief from the dimwits.

Don’t want him, he’s not better than Saka or Martinelli or with the right structure behind him.

Although he can play on both sides it’s not worth the money/wages for an inferior player.

Honestly he might be better than Martinelli ,but due to wages we won't sign him anyway.

I like martinelli but hes been below average last season.. really bad timing considering our push. if he plays like that again upcoming season then yes we need a replacement.

Arsenal are interested in Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, 22, and Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino, 28, but face competition from Barcelona for both Spanish internationals. (Standard)

Don Mikel to pick up the phone to Sociedad August 30th:

"We're buying out the release clause. Cope."

He can refuse the move.

[alexafc12]

He could also decide to play with his eyes closed.

[Nuggets]

Smoke and mirrors.

[Fran Solo]

The Basque connection?

[Highbury Hillbilly]

He's already on 200k PW at Bilbao, where his brother plays. Said no to Barcelona already.

Breaking the wage structure for him would be the height of stupidity.
